This is a chain off from

I am Christian but the Bible DOES contradict itself clearly when Jesus says something like 'truly there wouldn't be a new testemant if the old were not flawed'. I think this simply acknowledges that humans tamper with God's word 'telephone' style
​
I asked:
in this case how can anything in the Bible be trusted?
​
We figured rather then go off topic we had better start a new topic
​
so the question is this
If some parts of the Bible can't be trusted how can any of it?

A lot of people say they believe the Bible because it teaches good lessons and it touches them etc...
​
Well I don't know about you but I was touched by the little engine that could. It also teaches a good lesson.
​
I THINK I CAN! I THINK I CAN!
​
what I can't understand is why they have faith in the Bible.
There must be reason beyond that "I Just I have faith" or "its just a matter faith." WHY do you have faith? Is it because your parents did?
Do you do everything like your parents?
​
I am not trying to down God I am just trying to understand... I broke away from it when I started to think for my self (teens 15)

Re: Please remember
it wouldn't make God false but it would however make christ would it not? I realise it has good lessons and so do many other stories... but why is it "true"?

Re: If it made Christ false,
even if he wasn't real... I admit it is a very inspirational story but should one devote ones life to it?
Personally I think the Bible is a beautiful piece of literature but how can anyone think it is the 100% truth?
There are so many other religions out there with just as many inspirational stories. The Problem is 9/10 Christens(and visa versa) will never look into another one and just claim they are wrong anyway.... Just because mommy and Daddy believed it doesn't mean its right. people need to expand the mind
