Do you believe all the bible books are clean?

Question

Today I read a book that was excluded from the canonical Christian bible and I became temporarily and partially corrupted and I concluded that the book was not written by God. It also contradicted my bible and in many places. Jesus said counterfeit teachers would try to deceive or test the chosen ones but those who know God will resist them.

Eh? Which book?  I consider all in the Protestant canon (the smallest, most exclusive in Christendom). The canon was created via the unanimous or majority-vote decisions of the regional congregation-representatives during the early years after the Messiah's 1st-coming. I've also read a number of the Apocrypha (books rejected by Protestantism, but accepted by Vatican & Orthodoxy), as well as the Pseudepigrapha (the rejected books). If you'd like try the so-called  , a book outrageous enough that the last verse would get both conservatives & feminists enraged: 「¹¹⁴ "Simon Peter said to them, "Mary should leave us, for females are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "See, I am going to attract her to make her male so that she too might become a living spirit that resembles you males. For every female (element) that makes itself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."" 」 And the author of the so-called   must have been high off drugs. Reading it aloud made my little-sister almost die of laughter… until her head hurt due to incomprehensible nonsense. It was made for the Gnostics, who believed only those who understood the text would be saved. For all the rest who can barely make sense of it all (even Ph. D.-professors like mine who spent decades of his life in the field), we're all damned. Something tells me that many of their "saved"-peers were all the Emperor's New Clothes. Many more texts (canonical or not, legitimate or not, so long as historic) are here: Enjoy!

One of the gnostic "gospels" no doubt. Yes, those were condemned centuries ago.

You read a book that wasn't part of your collection of books and didn't like what it said?

Your collection of books has been edited by mostly Caucasian men for the last 1500 years. Before that the collection was gathered from scrolls made by men and literal hearsay telling stories that happened at least 500 years ago or in some cases thousands of years ago.

In your own past you have at least once heard two varied tellings of the same story from your neighborhood, now imagine that across hundreds of generations, slightly changing every time based on who was telling it and who was listening.

Now, in these stories told to men by other men based on stories they heard from other men where at some point one possibly said "it's the word of God so it must be true". Who exactly decides which books are really clean?

You disagreed with that one book, so you are less likely to spread the story of that book. Any chance something similar happened to other parts of you collection of books in the past?

Welcome to organized religion. Half the books disapprove the other half. All of them were written by men. You pick what you like to fit your own agenda and beliefs. Just like your parents did before you, and their parents before them. It's all bullshit, some just have better life lessons to tell.

Ever since the Vikings first translated the Old Testament into Old Norse, mankind has been obsessed with finding the true origins of their history and culture. Perhaps nothing has led to human speculation more than the Bible. But before you condemn particular books of the bible, you might want to consider an even bigger problem: do you believe that all these books are clean?

The Bible is a collection of 66 books, starting with what we know as the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and New Testament (Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), then a few other books and finally the Book of Revelation. It has many books in the Old Testament, the last book being the Book of Revelation. It has many books in the New Testament, and the first book in the New Testament is Revelation. It is the most credible book, containing lots of diligence in the details, and the most historical. The story of Jesus is, by far, the most important book of the Bible, and it is also the longest. It's the most historical, it contains lots of details and it has the most authoritative position. No other book—after, perhaps, Ecclesiastes—came even close to perfection, especially if the Christian church was responsible for the writing.

No I do not; I believe kings corrupted religion to impose power over their subjects. I believe God expects his followers to be something more than weak lambs seeking shelter.

I'm a Baptist but not sure if I'd call myself a good Christian. I'm angry with God for a multitude of reasons & my faiths rather weak. I do have the foresight to see where walking the path of evil leads, serving ones self.

I know evil won't endure as nothing predicated on devouring ever can, particularly in a place like eternity (time without end). I won't be seeking shelter like most the rest. I plan on going to hell itself, alone if I must.

My only weapons will be my light, truth & a mirror. I believe Satan can be saved & I'm willing to sacrifice myself in the attempt; if the brightest light in heaven can fall, we all can.

I know what the evil ones seek; corrupting the natural order is just the start & they seek to bring their torment & share it with the sheltered ones.

I think it's paramount to define God for ones self; to me that means truth & that which imposes order over chaos.

Anything that was made by man can never be 100 percent clean or flawless!! There's always going to be a hiccup and a catch to it. We have to pick apart the bible and seek out only what is most truthful and most beneficial to us. It's just like reading comprehension. You skim through the passages until you come across the ones that hits close to home. You read the bible to pull context clues and gain insight, so you can better understand things!! Not to become an expert at memorizing the bible by hard and believing everything that is filled within the book; just because it is said by its religious followers that it is right and can never be wrong. We all should choose a religion and a bible that best fits us and applies to us entirely!

purplepoppy · Answer

The bible is just a collection of stories written over long period, what made it into the final edition was down to the personal politics of a few men and not God. Had the editing been done today we'd have a completely new bible
If you want proof just look at Judas, early Christians liked the guy, judas was a popular name to name your kids. It's only centuries later the church vilified him. It's the same with Mary Magdalene.

NONE of the books of the Bible were "written by God". They were written over an approximately 1,500 year span of time, by various authors, not one of whom would ever have imagined that their writings would be incorporated into a single volume centuries later and practically worshipped by some people.

Everywhere around the world there are different versions of the bible and they all don't match. The real one was lost a long time ago.

Probably not, but how exactly is one to know what is right, without first knowing the full facts of something that is wrong?

If you're christian rather than Muslim then according to your own religion the books are all written by people, not God. Inspired by God and written by God is two *very* different things.

Dargil · Answer

A group of old Bishops and Cardinals canonized and compiled the 66 books. I do not think they were infallible, nor do I think the Pontiff is infallible.

Anonymous · Answer

The Bible, contrary to what any clergyman will tell you, is not 100% the word of God, and I can prove it scripturally. Christ showed us the real God our Father, and you shouldn't trust any other character than Him.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

They were all part of the bible at one point and you are correct in that they were conflicting. I don't think the bible was divinely inspired. I think man took out the books that hindered their goals.
