[QUOTE="shearwater, post: 94708, member: 6123"] Yes, the Bible is misunderstood by some who profess to be Christians. In fact there is much that I as a Christian do not understand. 1 Corithians 13 touches on some of the things we don't understand when it says, "Now we see through a glass darkly. But then we shall know fully even as also we are known of God." And to grasp some of the teachings of the Bible one has to explore the Old Testament as well as the New Testament and lay aside those books that were deemed not worthy to be in the canon sanctioned by the Early Church Fathers who, by common sense, prayer, and wisdom sorted out these things. What I do undertsand charms me because the Bible is a book of miraculous origin and it speaks Gods word, I believe. It is self validating and doesn't hide any dirty laundry, speaking the truth. As proof I cite Isaiah, a book that was written about 700 BCE. In 1947, a sheperd boy found a clay jar in a cave that had Hebrew copies of the books of the Old Tetsament that were hidden inside at Qumran, when the Roman Empire occupied that area. Those copies of Isaiah written on the scrolls were almost identical to the Hebrew texts used to translate into our own English Bible. The Hebrew Isaiah as I understand it was written as the Masoretic Text (Jewish scholars wrote in Greek). In fact careful study made clear that these older texts were slightly clearer but not wholly different in meaning than the King James version. So here we have a panorama of time traversing some 2700 years in which the meanings are the same. While some claim as the Muslims, that the Bible has morphed into meanings very different than the original, Isaiah and the Dead Sea Scrolls prove otherwise. The Bible is very clear about basic morality set down in the Ten Commandments given at Sinai by Moses. And the key issue with the Bible is that our salvation is impossible without blood sacrifice of something holy and pure. Jesus came as "the Lamb of God" that takes away the sins of the world. The Bible teaches that all men are fallen from an original state of holiness because of the sins of Adam and Eve. As a result of that first sin, we all come under the guilt of a nature that is bent against God and which needs to be restored. When we come to that realization and surrender our wills to God, he makes it possible through the blood of Christ to bring us into relationship with himself. All Christians who are real believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days after he was crucified on a Roman cross.
