    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    I think that you clearly do not understand God.

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    When I was a street preacher, I used to remind other Christians of 1 Peter 3:15–16 whenever they treated atheists with contempt, which frequently included false accusations of hating and/or rebelling against God, as well as extremely sarcastic remarks whenever any atheist attempted to reason...

    Questions for God

    I agree. I see humans writing to themes and drama, talking about our hopes and fears. Enjoying a good GvE melodrama. Some good raunchy sex scenes. A little gross-you-out body horror. You just reminded me ==> Have you ever read The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem? :) Here is a small excerpt.

    Questions for God

    Well said, in my opinion. And in response, I'd like to re-post what I wrote earlier in this thread. According to the Bible, God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), omnipotent (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7–10; Isaiah 40:12; Colossians...

    Why Did God Create Humans ?

    Let us assume for a moment that the Bible is accurate and that the biblical God exists. According to the Bible, God is omnipotent (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), omniscient (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7–10; Isaiah 40:12; Colossians 1:17). And...

    According to the Bible, God is omniscient (Psalm 139:1–6; Isaiah 46:9–10; 1 John 3:20), omnipotent (Psalm 147:5; Job 42:2; Daniel 2:21), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7–10; Isaiah 40:12; Colossians 1:17). And also, according to Genesis 6:6-7, God regretted creating not only mankind but also every...

    What is the evidence of God’s Love?

    In response to your post, I'd like to repost what I wrote in another thread earlier today because I think it coincides with what you said. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:16 This...

    Do you believe in reincarnation?

    Yes, I have issue with those scriptures and many others.

    Do you believe in reincarnation?

    "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:16 This verse claims that God loves the world. But is that actually true? I ask because of Proverbs 16:4, which states he creates wicked people for...

    What does God want from you?

    He didn't MAKE people evil -- he allowed them to become wicked if that is where they were going. It's kind of proven with Moses and Pharaoh and Pharaoh's continual refusal to listen to God's voice through Moses. Pharaoh and his warriors didn't make it.

    What does God want from you?

    If I had to believe in the Bible there is no way I could ever believe in a good God. I thank God every day that I don't have to believe in the Bible.

    What does God want from you?

    Out of curiosity, were you referring to Proverbs 16:4? KJV: "The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." NIV: "The LORD works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster." ESV: "The LORD has made everything for its purpose...

    “He is before all things” (Col 1:17) What does this mean about Jesus Christ?

    The Supremacy of the Son of God 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him...

    He rightfully asked for context.

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    If God can never be mistaken, then why did he regret creating mankind as well as every animal, every creature that creeps on the ground, and the birds of the air? Genesis 6:6-7 states: "6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the...

    “He is before all things” (Col 1:17) What does this mean about Jesus Christ?

    The Greek preposition πρὸ does not mean GREATER as you say. You are changing the meaning of the preposition before when talking about time. It could mean also in front of or ahead of, practically the same when talking about place. Very few times it can be used to express some priority with...

    “He is before all things” (Col 1:17) What does this mean about Jesus Christ?

    Colossians 1:17 describes Jesus Christ as being ‘Before all things’. But what does this mean, exactly? Many believe that this is a reference to a pre-existent ‘Jesus’, but is it? I see nothing to indicate any such theory. To me, the verse is saying that Jesus is GREATER than all things that...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    An omniscient God does not change His mind as humans do for trivial reasons, trying something different, making a mistake, or other such reasons. God may change His response depending upon human choices and actions, but those always remain consistent with His unchanging Character of holiness...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    The Bible also states that God doesn't change his mind, such as Numbers 23:19, which states, "God is not a man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said it, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?" And Malachi 3:6 also says, "I...

    Reasons To Believe In Yeshua/Jesus Christ Our Lord

    I believe so. I believe God gives everyone an opportunity to be saved and that makes a lot of sense.
