I have an important doubt in bible,Anybody please answer

[kirthika]

Many of my hindu friends as I come from India who claimed to have read bible tell me that The bible is filled with full of violence and sex,Being a believer i have read 95% of bible,And when i read it,There was not that sort of violence,Although they can be counted to be a little blood gore,I dont find it offensive,Then why should really people claim such a lie,As God totally became a man in new testament and he took our sins on the cross,And Jesus himself in new testament heavy patience ,And again I did not find any much of sexual content either in bible,What is the need for carrying such a false claim ,If there is any violent or haphazard sexual content in bible please say where it is?

In the Old Testiment there are many passage where God orders the destruction of a people group, Jericho, tenth plague in egypt, the flood etc.
There are also accounts of sexual activities that are not with in the bounds of marriage.

The violence in thebible is either as a result of Gods judgement or is part of Gods judgement.
One thing should be stressed God does not tell us today to use violence.

There are accounts of sex outside of marriage, they are discribed 'He lay with her' or 'he knew her', at no point does God say that this sort of activity is right.

Because Christians say that God is moral, just etc non christians will use these accounts to try to prove that God is unjust and immoral etc.

Your Hindu friends will naturally try and find negative things to say about the Bible, for they belong to a different religion.
In the OT there are some spasmodic references to sex, the word genitals is used in one place, and obviously there were wars/ violence, but the message is one of loving God and loving your neighbour. Anyone who does this has fulfilled the law of God.
Who, in any religion should find fault with that?

 

[Faith Alone 1 Cor 15:1-4]

I never could understand Solomon , he had gifted wisdom and knowledge from God , he was so rich that he had hundreds of wifes yet in the end he still believed in idols rather than God .

Lot's daughters.

I just happened to read that today. Sex is never glorified though. It is usually in the context of sin.

All of the things you mentioned is found in the Old Testament part of the Bible.

Personally, I don't wholly consider the Old Testament as Christian teaching as a significant part of it is also found in Jewish Orthodoxy (Judaism). Jesus warned us against the Pharisees and ironically, Judaism descended directly from Pharisee.

It is no wonder there are many things we Christians don't observe in the Old Testament that the Judaists do.... Because OT teachings are not for us and it should have no place in the Christian Bible.

The bible uses darkness to lead to the light. A factoid: Genesis 1:3-4 . Light is judged good. Yet, silence on the darkness... We, put the default opposite to darkness, where God was... Silent .

People claim such a lie because they don't like the God in the Bible, they believe their views on sex and violence is the truth. Basically they know what justice is better than God so they have a false impression of who He is and what He stands for. To do that a person would have to make false and misleading statements about God.

I think people have these false impressions about God because of the what they want and the obstacles they face in life to achieve it. As the United States Declaration of Independence says, "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". Life takes work and when things get in the way of how we think life should be, just look at Job and what God had to point out to him, “Will you discredit my justice and condemn me just to prove you are right?" Job 40:8 NLT

There is a lot of violence in the Bible however none of it was unnecessary. Violence is actually necessary sometimes. In contrast to Hinduism it actually teaches unnecessary violence. I have to wonder why your Hindu friends are borrowing Christian morality to object to the necessary accounts of violence in the Bible. Perhaps because they cannot borrow their own religion for such a moral. In the Bhagavad Gita a massive war is about to take place. Right before it begins the leader of one Army, Arjuna, begins to doubt whether he should seek peace instead because he started seeing the whole battle as an unnecessary slaughter of life. However Krishna steps in against his doubt and convinces him to play his part in fate and so countless were slaughtered for no reason.

In fact Krishna further teaches that 'life cannot be killed but those slaughtered today will be reborn again so do not worry about their senseless deaths.' So why have your friends abandoned the moral teachings of their own religion to follow Gods moral teachings in their objection?

When the Almighty brought violence on people it was because THEY were being violent. Look at the picture of Sodom and Gomorrah before it was burned down. The men there were trying to force their way into Lot's house and force sex on the visiting angels. This was just a little picture of what their whole culture was like.

Also, before the Great Flood, the Bible says the people were violent and inclined to evil in all their thoughts.

We see destruction being called down on nations - including Israel - when they did things like burning their babies in fire to false gods.

When the Israelites were told to go in and take the land they had to fight giants and were told to kill them all, and their children. Giants are not fully human but are, I think the Scripture shows, demon seed. They weren't nice at all and the Bible seems to indicate they were even cannibals.

There is a lot on the net to help you understand the issues you are dealing with.
I pray you will be given peace and light about this.

Kirthika

It would be good to understand, these questions, statements from your friends are nothing but an attack of Satan, they are designed to take your eyes off the Lord, and to make you question your own beliefs, faith and relationship with the Lord.

If your friends have read the Bible, what was the reason they did so, and if they did, why didn't they come to the same point of belief that you have?

All of the things they say are true, but they happened in the context of the history of the Jewish people.
If you were to write a History of the Indian people, would you not find the same sort of things?

Don't worry about those things, if and when God wants them defended He will do so.

2 Tim 2:23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife.

They are the questions of the unlearned.
Remember, how Satan got Eve into a conversation of the things God said, these friends of yours, are questioning the actions of God and how He could allow such things to happen, they are judging the God of all Creation, the God of the Universe, that Kirthika is Satan.

Stand fast therefore in the knowledge of the truth, and those things which you have believed.
I will place you in my prayers, that you may be able to speak to these things with boldness and conviction of the truth.

Be Blessed
