    Would Copy Errors in the Bible Undermine Its Credibility?

    (I have posted this in 2 other forums, but they seem deader than a doornail.) Would copy (scribe) errors undermine the Bible's credibility in anyone's eyes? I am having a debate with a fellow co-worker. Here are some links to some copy errors in the Bible: (Solomon's stalls, Ahaziah's ruling...

    Transubstantiation

    At what point is the bread and wine supposed to literally turn into flesh and blood? If you took a microscope to a sample of the bread and wine ingested by the receiver, why wouldn't we find actual flesh and blood as we are told it is?

    Chronicles - Kings Scribe Errors

    Hi, does anyone have any insight, or anything to add to these examples?: (Solomon's stalls, Ahaziah's ruling age) http://www.carm.org/diff/2Kings8_26.htm http://www.carm.org/diff/1Kings4_26.htm There are more, but it seems there are a few scribe errors in Chronicles and Kings regarding...

    TEs, what is the current view of the water above the expanse in Genesis?

    Gen 1:6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second...

    Christians needing evidence? Origins, Noah's Ark etc.

    As someone who supports Creation, I am trying to understand my Christian Evolutionist brethren better. I am curious to know why evidence is of utmost importance for your stance on things like Origins or Noah's Ark, yet you do not require evidence for other Christian events. Such as the...

    As Evolutionists, do you consider yourselves, or future man more evolved than Jesus?

    The title asks the question. No one disputes Jesus living some 2000 years ago. As Evolutionists, do you believe that man of our time is more evolved than Jesus, a man of his time? Do you believe that future man will be more evolved than Jesus? Just so there's no question about it, I am a YEC...

    Is it adultery when married actors and actresses perform steamy romance scenes?

    It would seem the Bible applies to all situations. So when married actors and actresses act out steamy romance scenes with makeout/heavy petting, is that an exception to adultery? Is this something we turn a blind eye to because it's "entertainment?" At my old Church, they would perform...

    Has anyone changed their stance based on posts of opposing views?

    As the title states, has anyone changed their stance based on another's post of opposing views? Be it on hot topic issues like abortion, homosexuality, etc, to Biblical interpretations, or anything else? I am interested to see if we are actually making a difference through these debates, or...

    Are there any liberal Bible literalists?

    I am a Bible literalist, but most would call me conservative on the hot issues we discuss here. There are exceptions to the norm, but in most of these recent debates here, Christians who support abortions, same sex unions, pre-marital sex, supporting nudity/pornography in movies, etc. etc...

    Christian Music?

    Hello. I was wondering if there is an official position on Christian Music by the Catholic Church? Are there any rock bands that sing about Christian themes that are overtly Catholic? Are Catholic musicians encouraged to write or compose worship type music? Or would they be steered more to...

    Catholic Church Speaking for God?

    I have heard it said that the Catholic Church is divinely inspired by God, and thus speaks for God. Whatever decisions it makes are ones God desires. I am not sure if this is what they call their "doctrine" or what. I am not Catholic, but apparently this new "inspiration" is on par with the...

    Movies with nudity - opinions?

    Personally, I stay away from these. I didn't always, but as I review willful sin in my life, watching movies with nudity, among other related things, doesn't seem good for my walk. Matthew 5:27-30 27 You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who...

    Christians who reject the Bible - Explain

    It seems a popular thought around here lately that to some, the Bible is not *authentic*, is *just a book*, *not reliable* etc. I have been told that we don't need to adhere to its teachings, and that God speaks to us in our hearts, and that should be guide enough. If this is you, (I don't...

    Deception?

    I am curious if anyone else has thought perhaps there are non-Christians pretending to be so in this forum to sow discord. I read things here about Christians giving the greenlight to: 1) abortion 2) same sex marriages 3) same sex couples adopting children 4) marijuana 5) masturbation 6)...

    Debate help...why is homosexuality wrong?

    Hello friends. A discussion has opened up between my non-Christian friends and I regarding some issues. One of them is the topic of homosexuality. As we all know, the Bible is clear on being against this lifestyle. What I need is some other reasons to use with my friends on this topic. The...
