Christians, if you cod change one thing in the Bible, what would it be and why?

I wouldn't change a thing. There are three main reasons for this.

1) It is an objective, undeniable, irrefutable fact of history that what we know today as the Bible was compiled and defined by the Catholic Church, meaning that it was defined by people who were much closer to the time, languages, and cultures in which the various books of the Bible were written.

2) Then you also have figures like Saint Jerome, who spent over 20 years translating said books into Latin, Saint Anthony of Padua, who had the entire Bible memorized from start to finish, and exegetes like Blessed John Duns Scotus and Cornelius a Lapide. The knowledge and wisdom of these men (among others) has lasted for centuries, so they clearly knew things I don't and I therefore won't be so arrogant as to think that I know better than they do when I barely have time to read two chapters a day.

3) Following from that, there's also the fact that the Bible, though greatly important to the Christian faith, is not the sole or even the primary rule of faith. The claim that the Bible is so is stated exactly nowhere in the Bible itself. In fact, the exact opposite is affirmed.

*TRIGGER WARNING*
-That the earth is 4000 years old
-That a family built a huge wooden boat and fit every animal in it
-To not respect other peaceful humans beliefs
John 4:1 “Dear friends, dont believe all people who say that they have the spirit. See whether the spirit they have is from god, because there are many false profits in the world.”

Creationism mainly. A god beginning evolution would have been more believable

Also heaven and hell , wherever we go is a mystery but we all end up in the same place. What is the point of hell when I can rape someone and get forgiveness right after

Perhaps about Homosexuality. I believe that Homosexuals cannot Help their Hormones that were Cast onto them. I know My Father loves Every human being He Created on this Earth though. xx

Maybe the part about how innocent people can become corrupted by persecution if they don’t hope in God. I think that is sad and it would be nice if it could be changed.

[HaveNoName]

That is by free will of those people. What does that have to do with changing scriptute?

[HaveNoName]

/scripture/

[Anpu23]

Not Christian, but if I could go back and change anything it would be to remove the writings of Saul/Paul most are forgeries anyway and much of the writings are just hateful. Much of the Christian social norms come from his writings.

[Paris13]

John wrote the TRUTH of Jesus Chris tin prison and it is IN the King James Bible. Everything he Wrote hasZCome True and Will Come True. xx

[JayParris]

Isn't it crazy how Christ warned about a man who was to come after Him. Said he was a false shepherd and would lead many astray. And along comes Paul, who gets so much of what Christ said patently wrong... and now churches preach almost exclusively from his letters?

[Littlejugs99]

I would add some of the other scriptures that were omitted from the bible but acknowledged by the church and mentioned many times in the bible like the book of Enoch.

[lightbulb27]

be clear about the language being used, like is it fictional/fact, etc.. it's confusing but maybe that's the point..

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Some things get me confused because they call God father and at times it comes up as Dear Heavenly Father Lord Jesus In Heaven, now this confuses me.

[worldscolide]

Just here for the comments, you know exactly where I fall with religion lol.

[mb120101]

I have epilepsy and have died on police report twice and it was like time traveling. I blinked my eyes and in that millisecond my eyes were closed, 5 minutes passed. there's no sense of time , its nothing

[mb120101]

Once its over its over and people are scared of that , I find it peaceful

[mb120101]

I dont want to rise from the dead haha

[goaded]

I'm not, but I'd like it to have something about science: Thou shalt test thy assumptions, or something.

[DizzyDesii]

I never read the Bible enough to know. And i still feel just as close to the Lord

[collie22]

That's way above my pay grade
