is the Bible complete

[kittylover0991]

Hey David, how is it going? Here is a hint(i know, this sounds like the mormons).. but pray to God. I know you have already as you said it before, but pray that God would show you the truth of his word, and dont' doubt that he won't. Trust the God will show you the truth

It can be hard to just simply trust God at his word and want to say that there is a fault.. sometimes it is easier to just say that there are errors in the bible. Once you start saying there are errors in the bible, one automatically gives themself the right to pick and choose for God's Holy Word. It can be difficult at first to just simply trust the Lord at his word. Sometimes the thing that is harder to do, is what is right. Trust God.

Hey, KL:

I've been praying and praying. And two things keep popping in. DaVinci Code and Gnostic. And, now that you mention it, the Book of Mormon.

Hey, brandplucked;

Just to let you know. I believe that G-d's word is complete. It's what man has done with it, ommited from it, and just plain messed up, that I have issues with.

Well, I am sorry you don't have cable to see the Dicovery Channel program on the DaVinci Code - really, the only evidence the man could fins was that the conclusions were all made up. The DaVinci Code is a fable.

As for the Gnostics - Paul's letter to the Colossians and I John both were written from the perspective of refuting Gnosticism. If you know what Gnostics preached, and then you read those two letters (books), you can see how both are answering the challenges Gnosticism gave. Both apostles completely refutted Gnosticism.

The easiest thing to do is to link you to a page that describes it:

Hi Mikado, If you believe God's word is complete, and that men have messed them up, then please tell us WHERE this complete word of God is today. Is there a Book here on this earth that contains all of God's pure words as He promised? Can you tell us where we can get a copy of it?

I have one thing to say.. I believe that the bible is the whole and complete word of God.. and in my own opinion and experiences I believe that the newer "versions of the bible" are not God's pure word and they changed around what he said. The bible was inspired by God and these new translations are what men think God meant when he said.. well, what he said. This is not meant for a debate on the differnt versions of the bible, but that is where i stand with the KJV and the pure word of GOd...

Now that i have said that, i can go on to answer your question Mikado.  God said in Pslams that he would preserve his word and that it would be tried as silver and gold seven times.. God said he would preserve his word, and if he didn't, that woudl make him a liar.  God is not a liar.  Therefore, yes, God has preserved his word throughout time and will continue to preserve his as he has from the beginnnng(in the beginnign was the word and the word was God, and the word was with God). There are versions of the bible.. some that are even corrupted with the sins of this world such as homosexuality and other sexual sins.. and thigns that are immoral... GOd preserved his word.. most definitly..

However, one must ask the Lord for discernmetn as to which is his true word and which should be followed to the fullest...

              *sticks foot in mouth again before gets in trouble for going off on a tangent*

Amen Keith :36: Amen...

As I said many times before.

I wish I knew where G-d's complete word is.

In a single book, movie, or any other form.

Perhaps I am wrong. And G-d's word is out there in complete form. Or I am partially correct and parts have yet to be discovered. Or fully right. That HIS WORD is out there. And it's a case of what man has done with it, ommited from it, and just plain messed up. Who knows? I ask for peoples thoughts one way or another. Not the derision I seem to ocassionally encounter. By just bringing to light certain things that some folks believe. Wether consiously or not. But even you have to agree that man perverts HIS word in many a horrible manner.

[kittylover0991]

ok... hey.. i'll say this one last time and I'll be through unless something else comes up on this thread...

God said he would preserve his word.. if he didn't preserve his word then he is a liar.. my God is not a liar... he preserved his word..

Where can you find his word? Go to the store and buy and KJV bible.. (ok... this could turn into a debate ...) I believe that the KJV is the errant, infallible word of God Another thing, the KJV is the only bible without a copyright(hmmm.. just something to ponder). Many years ago, there was a man named King James. God laid it on his heart to gather the best scholars to translate the original bible into English. To learn more about this, i woudl suggest you look it up online. Anyways, God said he woudl preserve His word. He did that then by having his word translated into what woudl be come the most well-known/spoken language in the world. Today, the bible is in many differnet languages. He preserved his word and this is how.

You want GOd's word? Go to a bookstore and pick up a KJV. Say that man has preverted his word by translations? Stick with the KJV( I am sorry, i am feel strongly for this . I call it the tride and true God preserved his word.

Most importantly....

I repeat... most importantly....

pray about it and ask for discernmetn as to what is right and wrong...

Pray that God woudl give you surety that his word is whole and pure as he said it was
