(March 6, 2015 at 10:00 am)Dystopia Wrote: Christians, according to Christian doctrine god is necessarily all perfect, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, omnipresent and omniscient. The bible is the word of god, therefore it must be entirely perfect. Do you agree with this conclusion?
Some of my Christian friends say that the bible was written by men and is therefore just a moral and spiritual guide, but it isn't perfect in its entirety. So, is the bible imperfect or half-perfect? Or is it perfect and, by consequence, all of its content has to be literally true?
Why would a god, with all the omni attributes, let a book that is imperfect and will cause so many deaths, be written about him? He could have had his prophets write that the future bible will be imperfect so that generations wouldn't argue about which version was correct.
Note: I have been told that Calvinists do not believe that god is omnibenevolent.
