The Bible is Inspired Living Word of God! I am a Very devout Christian and With Jesus Christ in my Life, I would have died. God Saved me when I died on the operating table from my birth defect surgery. So, I have Deep Faith in God, I am Severely Disabled and God Loves me This I know for the Bible tells me so! What about people who weren't so lucky? Does that mean God doesn't love them?

The Bible is a book. Simple as that. It was written by Man, under the impersination of God, meaning it is flawed, and not everything in it is true. It's stretched. At any rate, most people don't even follow the Bible, let alone read it.

I was thinking about this today. I think someone wrote that book and word spread about it, everyone knew the story and people actually believed it, take harry potter, if everyone was lead to believe that in a couple of thousand years, people will think harry potter was real. ..... I know I didnt totally make sense there, but I guess you understand....ish

Just a reminder there is ALOT more in it then stories with meanings. Saying that is absolutely absurd. I've read the Bible, and stand by my opinion. The moment you give me a text that was written by God Himself, I'll change my view.

I've read the Bible, and am familiar enough with it to have decided for myself what I think about it.Now, while as I said before I think some of the morals it teaches are relevant in today's society, there's actually no reason for me to follow and believe in it any more than for me to read any other religious book (suich as the Koran) and follow those teachings, or even older religions that are no longer in existence (for example the religion the ancient Greeks followed).

The Bible is Inspired Living Word of God! I am a Very devout Christian and With Jesus Christ in my Life, I would have died. God Saved me when I died on the operating table from my birth defect surgery. So, I have Deep Faith in God, I am Severely Disabled and God Loves me This I know for the Bible tells me so! What about people who weren't so lucky? Does that mean God doesn't love them? I do not get your question, so lucky! Everyone is made different, thank God, if we were the same this would be a Very boring World He Created! I have to wear a neck brace all the time, and a back brace, I have two Ruptured disks in my back. My birth defect was a severe one, my breast bone was fused to my back bone. My entire rib cage had to be rebuilt, and my heart and lungs were operated on at the same time. I believe God made me how I am because He wants others to know there is another way Truth and Life, and it's all written in the Living Word of God The Holy Bible. Luck really has nothing to do with how things happen in our lives, circumstances beyond our control some times happens. For ins trance, I am Severely Disabled, and I have had no income since the year 2003, awaiting my Social Security Disability Insurance is Very out of my control. I had my hearing March 9th, 2005 and the Judge is Still sitting on his decision. I seen God's help in my life. One, is typing on my computer is a Blessing to me. It's like Reaching out to others! So, my interpretation is I am not lucky, nor is the next person, Circumstances out of Our Control determine our fiats some times!! God Loves Everyone, this is Why He Sent His Son Jesus Christ! Through Jesus as mentioned in the Bible, we can find true Life! The Bible is a book. Simple as that. It was written by Man, under the impersination of God, meaning it is flawed, and not everything in it is true. It's stretched. At any rate, most people don't even follow the Bible, let alone read it. These above are Only your Opinions. The Bible is the Inspired Word of God. It is NOT just a book, the Holy Bible. If you have read the Bible and have asked Jesus Christ into your Life, AMEN, if not I encourage you today. God can Change you through Jesus Christ and His Living Word the Bible! Love Always, YSIC \o/ KristiAnn MsGuidedAngel

What I'm saying is, you lived through your birth defect. You didn't die. And you're saying that it made you realize that God loved you.
But what about those that weren't lucky, and didn't live? Since you lived, you think it means God loves you. But if someone didn't live, God doesn't love them?

I'm not going to get involved in this topic. But I do want to thank all of you for keeping this topic civil. Sometimes topics like these turn ugly, and this one hasn't. So thank you, and enjoy Kapt~`'-

the bible was written by man not god therefor falls into the human realm of personal interpretation . its not a documented text and regardless .. even some our more recent historical events have been found wrong due to indirect information gathering

Since you lived, you think it means God loves you. But if someone didn't live, God doesn't love them? I will correct it a little... I did die on the operating table back in 1965. I was unconscious for four or five days after my surgery. I was only five when all this happend, by the Grace of God, I am Still Alive! God Loves Everyone through Jesus Christ!! Read the Book of John in the Bible please. ;D

I was only five when all this happend, by the Grace of God, I am Still Alive! When you say "by the Grace of God, I am Still Alive!" you're saying that you didn't completely die/you're not dead right now because God loves you?

The Bible you can clearly see what god would have said versuses the writtens of mankind.Think about it common sense...Gods word the ten commandments.Man word the history of the peoples, and the parables .Gods words I am the creator of all things, i made all that was, that is, that ever shall be made.Mans words slavery is ok at that time.I do not think god would condone such a thing .
