It explains why they are not inaccuracies. The bible is the most screwtinized peice of liturature in history and has stood the test of time. Whatever "inaccuracies" thought of now have already been put throught the ringer and the bible always comes out unscaived. I've went through this stage in my life thinking that the bible was full of errors, but to someone who truely knows the bible they can see most of the so-called errors are due to the readers lack of interest in finding truth. The only real inaccuracies i've seen in the bible are number errors mostly due to scribal errors and they are easily recognized and are few and far between. But don't take my word for it and don't take one sides view for it, truely seek out the truth for yourself with an open mind.

If the Bible is the inspired word of god, then I should be able to read it an understand it without the aid of someone else's interpretation. After all, it is god's word is it not? Then would he not make it accessible to everyone and not just those with a degree in divinity?

If the Bible is such a unified work, then why are there thousand of competing interpretations?

I do community service at a local Lutheran Church and they are all but at war with another Lutheran Church not a few miles away due to doctrinal differences.

Yeah, but you can't trust Lutherans at all. They're not as bad though as those shifty Calvinists.

You don't need someone to explain to you that the bible teaches there is one God and that Jesus is the son of God and he died for your sins and he is the only way to salvation. You don't need someone to explain that the two greatest commandments are to love your God with all your strength, soul, and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself. From Genesis to Revelation these biblical truths are the foundation of scripture and can be understood by anyone who can read scripture without any prior introduction or bias.

iirc correctly their is a part in the bible that says forgive those that sin out of ignorance......

also he says something about punishing those who have the means and access to the word of god but do not follow it... ect ect... its not quote just to lazy to find it...

anyways it be funny to drop some bibles in the congo and wonder if god would punish them?

Just making sure that its not all one sided, which would have those who come here automatically assume that the inaccuracies posted here are truely inaccuracies. I assumed it was an open discussion on the topic my bad.

A bit off topic, but look up the similarities between Krishna,Mithra, Isis etc & Jesus all who preceded Jesus, and you might get the idea where the story came from.🙂

Before jumping to conclusions one must look at the facts about each one mentioned. (sorry if this is off topic)
1. Krishna-Actually was born into a family who already bore 7 children, no virgin birth. Plus the virgin birth predates krishna by many years (around 100) because it was prophecised in the book of Isaiah. His father was never stated to be a carpenter in Hindu text. As far as crusifiction goes this is how the Hindu text says Krishna died, "A fierce hunter of the name of Jara then came there, desirous of deer.
The hunter, mistaking [Krishna], who was stretched on the earth in high Yoga, for a deer, pierced him at the heel
with a shaft and quickly came to that spot for capturing his prey." Mahabharata, Book 16, 4 If that is similar to Christ's death I would like to hear why. Krishna rose nearly imidiately after his death, not three days later and appeared only to the hunter who shot him. And Krishna had not foreknowledge of his death.
Mithras-To start off there is no mention in the bible when Jesus was born. It was suspected by the early theologians (200AD) to be in the Spring time (March-April) because shepherds were watching their flocks at night and this is when they had their babies. In 385AD Pope Julius I declared Dec 25 to be Christ's birth because he wanted to challenge the pagan celebration of the Roman god Saturnalia. No virgin birth, he came fully formed from a rock. Mithras did not have 12 diciples, he was surrounded by the 12 signs of the zodiac so maybe thats how that myth got circulated and justified. Mithas is does not die (or even harmed) but assends into paradice on a chariot. Sunday is a holy day, but considering that most religions have either saturday or sunday as a holy day this makes for a weak argument.
As far as Isis goes, I imagine you were talking about Horus instead of Isis because Isis was either the mother or wife of Horus. Either way the similarities are trivial in comparision to the differences. The main difference was that Jesus was a historical person who did live and died. If you can find any facts other than speculation for the claim that Christ was a rip off of other religions i would like to see them. This is like me telling someone my friend commited suicide after seeing his girlfriend dead and then having someone telling me i ripped off Shakespeare.

Except people have killed each other over supposed truths. Doctrinal disagreements can vary on how to titanic issues like how to be saved, to a simple disagreement on the nature of sacraments.

Issues over who Jesus actually was and if he even claimed to be divine have yet to be resolved. The four gospels alone contradict each other so badly its a wonder anyone can actually read them and not notice all the glaring contradictions.

Reading through the Bible and claiming it all make sense, requires some serious selective reading and rationalizing.

Im sorry you feel that way. I think its quite clear Jesus said he was the son of God and he was the only way to salvation. He refers to himself as divine repeately, why do you think the Pharases and other Jews wanted to always kill him and called him a blashphemer. ""I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. " John 8:58. And can you please give me examples of condtradictions because i do not know of any. And before answering you must remember what a condtradiction is. If i say to my mother "I saw my friend Bill today" and then tell my father "I saw Bill with his girlfriend today" this is not a contradiction but a differnet prespective on what actually happened, both statments are truth.
