I think 90% of the bible is garbage. The only parts worth checking out is the stuff with Jesus in it. People put too much stock in the inconsequential parts because it agrees with whatever narrow point of view they have.

Originally posted by Canadaguyi find the bible somewhat more palatable once the probable personal agenda of paul is extracted out. i have to thank frogstomp for helping me see that.

Originally posted by chinking58No, I just saying get rid of all the useless crap. Only the stuff Jesus said and did are important. He's the only example we need, the rest of the bible only waters down that message, and creates contradictory ideas.

Or is it better to put stock in a teacher, or author because you know you can trust Him, and then follow that by putting stock in everything He says or teaches?[/b]
Originally posted by CanadaguyHmmm... "Useless crap"? I gather you do not have what it takes to learn from reading the Word of God. Do you actually believe what you say or do you just say it to say it? Are you a student of the Bible in mind only or of mind and spirit? You seem to stand ready to pass judgement on the Bible as ... what was it...? 80% garbage? Please explain.
