Can you be a Christian and reject certain parts of the Bible?

[Nick714]

Can you be a Christian and only believe some parts of the Bible? For example, can you reject a global Noah's Flood, a six-day creation, a literal exodus, etc.? Could you reject other parts as well, like Christ walking on water? Discuss.

it sounds like you would be rejecting God for being God.

You don't speak for all Christians. There are over 20,000 denominations because of that kind of thinking.

On the contrary I do speak for all Christians, as you unwittingly stated "There are over 20,000 denominations because of that kind of thinking."

Has it ever occured to you that since the members of the body of Christ can be inspired by the head of the Church, who is Jesus Christ, so "that kind of thinking" results, even though the members do not know each other, are 1000s of miles apart and across different continents, yet they all think the same according to your observation, hmmm......interesting!

Can you say Holy Ghost inspired?

That being said, one can conclude that the 20,000 denominations is in fact Christ's strategic plan, to protect his Church, so it fits fall under the umbrella of one man. So according to Jesus all roads don't lead to Rome, the diversity in numbers makes it hard for the enemy to infiltrate and to subjugate Christ's church from within.

I, like you have unwittingly implied about me, do speak for the majority of Christians. Thankyou very much for the heads up you have given me.

It's funny to see the various "tests" people use to decide if someone is Christian. Do you believe this fact? Or that fact about Jesus? It's not facts that will help us, it's trust in Christ. Not trust in theology.

Well if no facts are understood and believed by faith, then the enemies of the cross can deceptively manipulate world events, especially today, to establish a fake, fake and phoney Christ on earth, that is why the statement.....

"It's not facts that will help us" is a very dangerous one indeed!

Trust in Jesus, is trust in the biograpghical account written about him, so that trust in Christ, is to trust in theology, otherwise the Deep State world religion can easily substitute a fake, false and phoney Christ and none are the wiser.

To me, i certainly reject any hope that a wanna be earthly christ with a little "c" has to offer and I will consider such a person an imposter and an enemy of the cross. This imposter will be according to the Koran one who comes to break the cross and in the old testament, in Daniel, the abomination that maketh desolate who does away with the daily sacrifice, which is the daily atonenent provided to humanity through the cross of Christ, the real historical Christ, who is biographically and theologically spoken about in the Holy Bible.

Now you know why there are 20,000 denominations and growing. These are all the army and battalions of Jesus Christ, ready to confront all falsehoods, even the worldly christ or christs that will manifest on earth in the last days. God has readied his Church.

I reject an earthly manifested christ or christs of other false religions and we by the might of God will stand against all of them, so bring it on!

No

Matthew 4:4

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

But at what point in time does a "different interpretation" really become rejecting the Bible itself?

It is simply a reality that the bible can be interpreted in different ways. Like the "yom' debate in the age of the earth. Does it mean "day" or "period of time"? The whole bible that we read literally is an interpretation: from Hebrew or Greek to English. It is vital to sort out the correct interpretation. But to reject the whole bible as a result is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You don't have to. And if you do you throw out the only thing that matters.

 

[Rev. Thomas]

Where, specifically, does Jesus use "fiction" (chapter and verse reference)? Or where the Father uses "fiction"? And do you mean by "fiction" that God has lied to us? If that is what you believe, you know not God or His truth.

The Bible is the inerrant word of God. Knowing this to be true in no way means the Christian worships the Bible. If you believe that God cannot provide a perfect revelation to His children, you have a very low view of God, perhaps you have even created an idol to suit your needs.

If you believe the word of God to contain errors or lies from God, then there is no way you can know truth from God, because God has not revealed His truth through any other book, so knowing God becomes completely subjective.

The story of the Good Samaritan is fiction and was told by Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the Word of God... NOT the Bible.

lol

No, you don't speak for the majority of anything, you only speak for yourself.

There are 20,000 denominations because they can't agree with each other and so they keep splitting apart. Seriously... Almost all of them are due to arguments and splits where each side claimed to speak for the Holy Spirit and for God.... lol

I have found this is a common misleading idea.
The whole bible is guarded by God,
and we have various translations. Not interpretations.
(this is my view of translations vs interpretations)
Think about what JESUS says:
the bible is not open to private interpretation.
NOT OPEN
not open to the mind
not open to the scholars
not open to the teachers
not open to the preachers

by any private interpretation.
NOT
not "OPEN" - as JESUS says "woe to scholars" and "woe to priests and pastors" who [MIGHT](did back then, but not many today)
have the KEYS to enter heaven (a phrase no one understands)
but they DO NOT [open?!]
they DO NOT enter in ,
and they do all in the power they have to keep others from finding the kingdom.
THEY DO ALL IN THE POWER THEY HAVE, to prevent others!!!!
to KEEP THEM OUT of the KINGDOM OF GOD.

this is a serious thing. this is life and death, eternal. this is truth
and life for those who find HIM(JESUS). and death for those who cause others to stumble.
This is all, completely, fully, and with much understanding ,
in SCRIPTURE and not contrary to ANY SCRIPTURE.

The story of the Good Samaritan is fiction and was told by Jesus Christ.

There is a great difference between a parable to teach a lesson and fiction. Jesus never used fiction in the sense of lying.

The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the Word of God... NOT the Bible.

Jesus is the Logos, the Living Word. The Bible is word of God, as in absolute truth.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, (17) that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

define Christian. To me a CHRISTian should be defined on the same standing as a CANADAian where one can tell the country/kingdom you are from by the way they model/manifest the culture of the country/KINGdom you represent as a TRUE "ambassador". <> <> <> Define reject: something like a food choice that is before you that you choose not to chew and swallow. Something on the table that is offensive and needs to be thrown out?

Lets see. When Jesus walked this earth and told people John 3:16.. to come Him.. He will give the rest or even the thief on the Cross. All were not Christians. Being saved ..it is not written you HAVE to believe the bible is ALL GODS WORD! Granted.. I believe it is.. seen to much to run with mans views and any doubt.

But.. yes.. you can be 100% saved and not even read know about the bible.
