Are you saying the Bible is not 100% factual? Is there some "wrong" information in there?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The bible is about humanity's view of the Creator and the Messiah. It is not infallible only God is. If I wrote a book about you and said you were 5 foot 5 rather than 5 foot 6 would that negate the message of the book, would that prevent others from learning about you using the book as a guide?

Well I guess we differ on that. You see, I see the Bible as 100% inspired by God through the people He choose to write it. I believe Matthew, Mark, etc. all of the people were inspired what to write. I believe nothing got in there that wasnt supposed to be there.

I dont believe the Lord would allow anything "flawed" to be but into his divine word/book.

What makes you so certain that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote the books that bear their names? Have you carefully read the last few verses of John's gospel? Remember, what you "see" does not create reality.

Inspiration does not equal dictation. Even an inspired singer can sing an off key but the song is still inspired and so is the singer. I blame the church for putting the bible on the same pedestal as the Creator for this bible worship we have in our churches. A biography is never equal to the subject being written about.

But you are assuming that it is His book simply because humans say it is. You are working off of a very big assumption.

Nobody who has carefully read the book needs to ask that question.
