Authority of the Holy Bible

It's a very good information. Let those who do not believe the Holy Bible do their way. I hope that more people will believe in God and the Holy Bible as the word of God which is the truth. We could not be here without God, all of us are His creation.

I believe in God and the Holy Bible as the word of God. Thanks a lot for this affirmation. I hope people would study these carefully so that they may have guidance, the proper guidance to believe God. But if they don't like, let them because we have the freedom of choice.

thats beautiful.its really inspiring.thanks for sharing.

It's a great information for everybody, believers as well as unbelievers. All of us should study what the Holy Bible is all about and take all things into consideration and understand the whole counsel of God; otherwise, it will be all mixed-mixed and we won't understand anything.

I'm sorry but although I am a Christian I will have to disagree with you. Firstly there is evidence that more than 66 books were written, the bible was standardised in medieval times and they decided which gospels would stay in and which wouldn't. Since no-one has actually seen those texts then we cannot make any judgements about what they contained or how beneficial or not they would be. Secondly there are many versions now, translations and updates so sometimes things get lost that way. Thirdly the bible is often contradictory, and provides bad example for example we are instructed to forgive but the bible often shows God himself as unforgiving, for example some young children laugh at a prophet for being bald so god sends a group of bears to tear them all to pieces. Pretty harsh I feel. The 10 commandments are shown in the old testament, but Jesus appears to supercede these with a single commandment in the new testament.

I agree with everything you have said, but I'm afraid there are many people here on myLot who will disagree with you. Every time I quote the Bible as my reason for believing something, I have people telling me I am stupid, and that the Bible is a bunch of lies made up by men, etc. Well, they haven't changed my mind one bit, so just keep on letting people know the truth. Maybe some of it wil sink in one of these days. Sadly, it will probably come back to haunt them when it is too late do do anything about the way they have lived and how what they have believed. Thanks for sharing.

I admire you for standing up for your beliefs here. I've found the mylot community to be a pretty narrow-minded one, many of which are just plain down on Christians. They are so offensive that even though I am proud of my beliefs, I've gotten tired of trying to defend myself. I've decided that if all these people are so blinded by Satan that they can't see the truth, only God is going to be able to help them. They sure don't listen to the rest of us.

I agree to everything you said. It's a shame that the Bible is the most unwanted books by others. They have one in their houses but it's a miracle if they can even open that once a month. I pray that this people's heart will be touch that they may not take the Bible for granted. Good for you to have written this article. God bless you friend!

holy bible is living word of god

And so the people may know. Very good information for people to consider. We cannot really live without God. I believe in God and the Holy Bible as the Word of God. This is a timely post as there are so many here who do not believe in God.

i agree and let me say it was a pleasure to read your posting here we need this !

Keep on going, brother! Let not the unbeliever waste your mind space.

HUMAN REASON as a subject to the bible is a very medieval thought... there are reports also that during the olden times there are hundreds if not thousands of gospels/scriptures written and all claiming to be true. and that the bible is another compilation of some SELECTED texts that was created for a certain group of people with the same line of thinking. and just recently the Gospel of Judas was discovered and found to be authentic and was estimated to be written around the 2nd century, the gospel of matthew was estimated to be written around the 1st century or earlier. also our brothers in the Islamic faith believe that the Quoran is the literal Word of God not the Bible. so how can we resolve this great dilemma? do you have any suggestions?

Dear whacks: You are eminently correct. If human beings would follow the guidelines set forth in the New and Old Testaments, life would improve all over the world. What we have is some people sick with greed, which brings them to an empty end, both while they live and after they die. The rules of behavior set forth in the Bible are the route to true happiness and fulfillment, both personal and for our families, friends and business associates. The best thing is to let people see us in our God loving role every day. By example we can change other people. Every day I ask the Lord to tell me how to help someone somewhere.

Yup, You are right. I am christian too so I have agree with you. But, I think it was important to strenght our Holy Bible with a lot of fact from another religion and culture. Here a part of similarities of Qur'an and Holy Bible : The Qur'an and Bible posses many similarities as the holy scriptures of Islam and Christianity, respectively. They consists of narratives, teachings, poetry, and rebuking. Many narratives contain the same basic events and figures. They both teach the creation of the world by a single almighty, omniscient God who commands humans to follow value the morality set out for them. However, Christians warn about the danger of comparing the Bible and Qur'an. Muslims believe God dictated every word of the Qur'an and that God has protected the Qur'an from any human possible human mistakes. The Qur'an, therefore, is perfect in every way as God is perfect. Most Muslims believe the Qur'an is applicable to every person regardless of context. Christians believe the Bible is completely true, but in a different way. The Bible is the record of God's revelation to the Jews and through Jesus, not the direct revelation itself. It is written by humans together with God through a process called Divine Inspiration. Therefore, humans may introduce mistakes in the way God's revelation is told but will not mistake any of the truth itself. The closest Christian equivalent to the Qur'an is Jesus himself and the closest equalivalent to the Bible is the hadith. The stories in the Qur'an often contain few details and tend to concentrate more on the moral or spiritual significance of the story. Some Muslims may turn to the Bible to give a fuller picture of the person concerned. However there are guidelines set out in the way Muslims are to understand the Bible, the primary one being that the Qur'an is always more authoritative than the Bible. Therefore, anything in the Bible that agrees with the Qur`an is accepted, and anything in the Bible that disagrees with the Qur`an is rejected. Some things in the Bible are not talked about at all in the Qur`an or in the sunnah; in regards to such passages, Muslims are instructed to neither believe nor disbelieve in them, but they are allowed to read them and pass them on if they wish to do so.
