what do you think, is the BIBLE STILL RELEVANT TODAY????

[blakrabit]

that's ur opinion...

yup! and it really is pointless to argue about people's religions. at the end of the day, it all comes down to not criticizing, condemning and just respecting other people's beliefs. unless they hurt other people, that is.

anyways, to stay on topic, I'll still say that the bible should be relevant to the lives of those people who chose to believe in Christianity. No matter the interpretations from all the sects, they still mean that one should be good.

I am not asking about Christianity's relationship with God, I am asking about Bible's relevance in the aspects of Politics, Economics, Justice, Social and Spiritual. If it cannot address to these aspects of man's lives then to me it is not relevant at all, sorry no offense please. It should serve as a guide to the people, I believed God does not leave His Creations without guidance and the Bible should supposedly address these matters. If you will say that the Bible is for the Christians only without addressing all God's creations then it is impractical for other people to believe in it. If the Christians themselves cannot even come together with the same intepretation of the Bible, some obviously have their own rendition of it, how come it can bring Justice of God's will here on earth? Will the Douay version of the Bible relevant to the Protestants? likewise will the King James version of the Bible relevant to the Catholics?

It has already addressed matters in terms of principles on individual people. Which is based on the Bible.
For example if the Bible teaches honesty(John 18:20, Exodus 20:16, Heb 6:18 ) and if an individual follows the Bible how does that affect society. There is no argument here in terms of society when the bible address the core of the matter which is each individual.

when it comes to denominations of Christianity do not take it as a whole. Because we know that the enemy comes from within our church. There are true and false churches as there are true and false christians.

Prophecy of false prophets:

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Revelation 16:13

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mathew 24:24

False Christians:

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Mathew 7:23

As christians we ought to study the bible which reveals the enemy or the antichrist(s). One of the major pillars of true christianity is to study the bible about the antichrist and to expose its deception.

It seems that you think that there is no truth in Christianity but the truth can be known.
God is fair he does not hide the truth from his people. As Jesus says:

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32

Brother Do not focus on politics and worldly events to interpret God but instead look upon God's word and Jesus to as a viewpoint to interpret the world.

Which Bible versions? We all know there is the catholic Bible and the protestant Bible, that is another topic that is why I will just give you a link for reference: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible..._preserved.htm

"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." —1st Peter 1:23

Daghan brod.
The Bible would be relevant only if it was written by someone who knew the end from the beginning. God, its author, was “in the beginning.” Before anything of this earth or man existed he was in the beginning creating. As the only uncreated being He is eternal and therefore knows the end from the beginning.

While the Bible was completed approximately 1900 years ago, its accuracy and relevance for today remain unchanged. The Bible is the sole objective source of all the revelation God has given us about Himself and His plan for humanity.

Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and
spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

Unless we'l discover something that can resist death then the relevance of the word of god diminishes.

Is that you florido gaga?

SORRY to disappoint you, you are saying without basis, actually US of A is a SECULAR Country, its laws were based on secularism not based on the Bible.

Read on ... from America a Christian Nation - Is the United States a Christian Nation?

"... The delegates' refusal to base this nation on Christianity can also be seen in the fact that neither God nor Christianity are mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. Furthermore, as early as 1797 the government specifically said that it is not a Christian Nation. The occasion was a peace and trade agreement between the United States and Muslim leaders in North Africa. The negotiations were conducted under the authority of George Washington, and the final document, known as the Treaty of Tripoli, was approved of by the Senate under the leadership of John Adams, the second president. This treaty states, without equivocation, that the "...Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion...."

Contrary to the claims made by some from the Religious Right, America was not founded as a Christian Nation which was then later undermined by godless liberals and humanists. Just the opposite is the case, actually. The Constitution is a godless document and the government of the United States was set up as a formally secular institution. It has, however, been undermined by well-meaning Christians who have sought to subvert its secular principles and framework for the sake of this or that "good cause," usually in the interest of promoting this or that religious doctrine."

and so are you.

Truth is truth.
The founding fathers built it on the truth of the Word of God. Everything about the laws of this land were taken from the Scriptures, from Old Testament. They were right from the Old Testament Books of the Law.



Even Sarah Palin believe this. Well, I don't blame you if you don't.
Chistians do. Non-believers obviously don't and will never accept this!

You are obviously assuming it but what I said to you is the truth. No need to argue with you.
