Is the bible all perfect?

RE: Is the bible all perfect?
(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?
First things first to answer your question. No I do not believe the bible is perfect as God is perfect.

Why? Because God in the bible never claimed the bible is without error. To say it is is to speak where the bible is silent.

So what does it say? It says the bible is truth, and is all we need to establish and maintain a relationship with God.

Meaning all we need to have a direct interactive relationship with the Holy Spirit is found in the Bible. Because the Holy Spirit is indeed God, He then and his instruction is without error.

Speaking of what is and is not in the bible the doctines of an Omni max God is not mentioned anywhere. This too is a religious teaching we have adopted extra-biblically.

God only ever describes Himself as "The Great I am, The Alpha and Omega, The beginning and end to all things."
On the surface this may seem to be without meaning or trivial. In truth this title/description describes supreme power.

In short being the Great I am/Apha and Omega means God is whom ever He wants to be.

Does it mean He can create a rock so big He can't lift it? Yes! if He wants too, and No if He does not! Does it mean He is bound by the defination of Omni benovlence? Again yes if He wants to Be No if He does not. Like wise does it mean a perfect God can have a bible published that is not perfect as God is perfect? Yes if He want's to No if He does not.

So again the term Alpha and Omega/The beginning and end to all things describes a truly all powerful God. One not confined by our foolish doctrines and definations of words and the paradoxes small minds create for those words.

Quote: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?

Again we are told the bible is truth and all we need to A/S/K for the Holy Spirit which is indeed without error because He is apart of the God Head. The bible also tells us that it is the Holy Spirit who will write all of God's laws and understanding we need on our hearts. The bible then becomes a measure or 'test' to see if it is indeed the Holy Spirit that you are dealing with as the two will not contradict.
