Is it possible for believers to believe the Bible has mistakes in it?

[sojourner]

I would disagree with you saying that God makes us holy. Individuals and community of believers make God holy. I would argue that listening to one's heart, living a spiritual life is akin to what Christianity owns as being likened to God. Briefly, I'd say that Genesis 1; 27 is to explain that everyone has this spiritual likeness of God even if there is not God.

Disagree all you like. I don't know where you're getting your information, but the bible and Tradition make clear that God calls people and sets them apart (makes holy, or sacred) for specific ministries.

Your question doesn't make much sense.

I think many need to know that Jesus is God, just so that they can keep their belief system and feel safe in that belief, if they knew the truth it would destroy everything in their life, so, shhh.

 

[sojourner]

You see, no one agrees about God. My 40 years of searching for the truth and your seminary degree. I would not be saying what I say if biblical scholars and theologians did not back my thoughts up.

What, precisely, are you saying that is "backed up" by scholars and theologians?

 

[sojourner]

I really look closely to what Catholicism says. I search the Bible and I look towards the ancient languages for further verification. Nonsense? You sound like the Magisterium, "Please, let's stop this nonsense thinking that there's nothing in the Bible that says that Christ is God. Go brush up on your Biblical knowledge."

You've missed something in your scrutiny.

Yeah, no. We know you don't like Christianity so I don't know why you bother in these threads. It's very annoying.

It's a theological construction that approaches soteriology from a particular perspective.

There you go, thinking you own this place and believing everything you say is gospel, how do you know someone else might like what I say ??.

Three? What is the third person?

The Holy Spirit.

You need to calm down.

Your question doesn't make much sense.

Oh? Now maybe you know how we feel?

 

[sojourner]

Adam and Eve were one also. Same?

Huh???

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I could say the same about discussions on this from my point of view.

 

[savagewind]

Adam and Eve are two different people with different bodies and different souls but God calls them "one flesh". Calling a married couple one flesh makes Jesus saying he is one with God mean nothing new. It doesn't mean they are the same person as in the trinity just like calling a married couple one flesh does not make them one flesh.

 

[savagewind]

Oh. hahahahaha it's a METAPHOR. OK. Then prove what Jesus said isn't also a metaphor. Please and thank you.

Okay...But to what avail would the mistakes serve? Are the mistakes inadvertent? Is it a result from mistaken translations?
Is it possible for a believer to believe that there are untruths added to the truth?

It is possible. It is like freecell the game. You keep on looking for the right order of card values. Most of the time it works. I think some games can't be won but I suck at math so I don't know.

Don't be worried about what is possible, seek the truth with your heart and the truth shall free you.

Yeah, the Bible calling Jesus God in multiple places is just all a metaphor.

You started it.
