i will try and catch up. first of all, I am a youth minister so obviously I have a certain belief. However, I think I am pretty open minded, I will try and answer what I can but I am willing to say I don't know when I don't.
God exists outside of time. Meaning, he knows what has happened as well as what will happen. His knowing what I will do a week from now, does not mean that I don't choose what I will do.
I do think people should pray more often for strength as well as peace with what happens. There is evidence in scripture (for those that believe it) of God changing his mind based on the appeal of Moses. Therefore, it is not outside the realm for people to pray hoping to effect God's decision.

This is how I tend to go with it, there are to many books changed by man or omitted by man because the content is risky and what not.....I do believe in God I do believe Jesus died for me, but I don't believe the Bible is 100% truth or proof.......

2 Timothy 3:16 says that all scripture is God-breathed, meaning that the writer of each of the scriptures was inspired by God when the books were written. I also take this to mean that the vetting process of what became and did not become biblical canon was also guided by the hand of God. Thus, though each of the books of the Bible has a human voice and tone to it, it is in fact the word of God.

For me I find the reason I question religion with people is because many people want to use it to create legislation. I agree 100% with your posts that there are tangible and intangible aspects to any religion, but when one religious majority wants to use the intangible aspects to create laws for everyone to follow, no matter their beliefs, that is when I find it legitimate to question. If an individual wants to choose to believe something that can't be proven or not that is up to them and their choice.

So in essence, what you are saying is; a passage written by a man, says that all scripture is God-breathed. Interesting concept.
Here my advice to you based on that logic; beware the liar that tells you he never lies.Last edited by habsheaven; 04-25-2011 at 10:08 AM. Reason: typo

Is your position that nothing written in the Bible is divinely inspired, or just the parts that support your arguments?

My position on the BIBLE, and for that matter EVERY RELIGION on the planet, is that they have been created by MAN, for MAN and are in the best interest of MAN and nothing else.
