Can We Trust the Bible?

Re: Can We Trust the Bible?

Bible is the Holy Book of the Christian religion.

Therefore those who profess to be Christian must trust the Bible.

Armenians overall are a Christian Nation.

There is no argument within the Armenian Church establishment about the validity or trust we have in the Bible.

On many occasions its been said any Armenian who is other than Christian in his/her beliefs is “not an Armenian”.

Why the laconic question of the thread.

Why are you initiating and spreading doubts about the validity of the Bible in peoples mind.

OR, is this another marketing trick you picked at your marketing course?

Religion and specially Christianity should not be peddled in that manner. This is sacrilege.

There are many Atheist or Agnostic Armenians who believe that the Bible is nothing but a man made fairy tale invented for mass control. I've seen a lot of them here on this forum so I think it would be a good read for them.

There are also many professing Christian Armenians who see Christianity as more of a tradition and the Bible just another religious book written by man. I think it would be a good read for them.

There also many Armenian Christians who are constantly bombarded with anti-christian propaganda trying to discredit the validity of the Bible. i.e the Bible has been revised so man times so it can't be trusted etc etc... I think it would be a good read for them.

And than there are many Armenian Anti-christian "Christians" like yourself. Who hate Christians and the Bible and all Christianity stands for. Trying to suppress the truth you will attack me at every corner making some of the most ridicules claims. You're blinded by hate and fear. To you there is a Turk behind every bush.

You're not a Christian Sir. Your a lier and a instigator.

Please I'm asking you as your brother in humanity, consider what your doing. You will one day stand in the judgment seat of Jesus Christ. Your eternity is at stake. I'm not some self-righteous person like you accused me of being. I'm a sinner just like you. In fact, if it wasn't for the mercy and grace of my Lord Jesus I would be worse than you. I, like you, are in desperate need of a savior. No one will escape the wrath of God. Despite the fact that we hated God and rebelled against him, yet while we were still sinners, the Holy Son of God willingly came down into human existence in the person of Jesus and paid the penalty for the judgment me and you justly deserve. It is free gift by grace through faith. All you have to do is except it. There is nothing you can do to get right with God, no amount of good deeds will brush your past sins under the rug. God is a just judge. He will Not let the criminal get away with their crimes. He will Not be bribed by some so-called good works. For this reason, Christ came and died on the Cross for our sins, therefore, now God can and will legally forgive your sins because His Son paid for them on the cross. Only the blood of Jesus Christ will wash you clean and present you as holy (as He is Holy) to the Father. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". (john 14:6)

Now the last paragraph I just wrote - to some - it will sound like none sense. But it makes perfect sense, and it is the teaching of the Bible. Well why should anyone believe the Bible, after all it was written by man and revised and it contradicts itself right? Nope. Hence the purpose of the original thread "Can We Trust the Bible?" I hope you read it and realize that yes we can as the Bible is in fact the infallible Word of God.

I hope you understand. God bless you.

If you are a Christian, then you believe in the Bible because it is GODs word & it's a tool of how to live your life

If you read it & understand it & study it then it will make sense to you.

Can we trust ourselves?

Personally I think religion does more harm than good. Humans need to evolve past this b.s. and focus on making life better here on earth now than some imaginary valhalla in the future. When you are dead thats it. I think most of the atheists on this board would agree with me on that.

Re: Can We Trust the Bible?

You are absolutely right, religion does more harm robertik1, but Christianity is not a religion
Religion= man made rules
Christianity=personal relationship with GOD

Bible is not a tool as to how to live your life.

Bible is full of contradictions. It propagates many attitudes which are alien to us and generaly rejected by present day societies.

The proof of my statement is, the number of Christian religions that exist. Last quote I remember is more than 400 !!!
All quote the Bible as their source and inspiration (WHICH IS TRUE) yet disagree with each other, with accusations and claims that their version is "correct".

I will put forward references from the Bible to substantiate to points I made above.

However before that I would like to make a quotation from the Lord Jesus who said,

Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.

This was referring to the Old Testament. So any reference about the Bible has to mean both the Old and New Testament.

I have no intention to discredit the Bible but to highlight “guidance” from the Bible which most of us would find unacceptable.

Religion is exactly the right word to describe naturalism. The entire philosophy is built on a faith-based premise. Its basic presupposition � a rejection of everything supernatural � requires a giant leap of faith. And nearly all its supporting theories must be taken by faith as well.

This is the Atheists dilemma, they say "we come from nothing and are going to become nothing, yet in between we have this great significance." It doesn't make sense at all.
