The Bible - Fiction, or non-fiction?

[St. SteVen]

St. SteVen said:
John 1:29 NIV
... The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said,
“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Do you believe that's Gods Word?

If by the term "Gods Word" you mean the Bible; then, Yes, it is from the Bible.
Specifically the NIV translation in English. (the words of humankind)
The words are attributed to the Apostle John, quoting John the Baptist.

Do you believe that Jesus is the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin of the world? (John 1:29)

[St. SteVen]

St. SteVen said:
Are you sure that Jesus wasn't an Annihilationist or a Universalist?

Matthew 10:28 NIV
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Nah, Jesus said THE FIRE is "FOREVER and EVER"! I've quoted Him several times.

So, you don't believe the words of Jesus?

So you believe the Book of John is the Word of God! Enjoy.

John 3:35-36
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

 

[St. SteVen]

So you believe the Book of John is the Word of God!

More lies from you.
Putting words in my mouth.

Revelation 22:15 NIV
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers,
the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Galatians 5:19-21 NIV
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before,
that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

There you go folks. Steven rejects the Book of John as God's Word!

Revelation 22:15 NIV
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers,
the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

That surely sounds like your opinions stevie!

Galatians 5:19-21 NIV
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before,
that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Why do you quote the Bible if it's not God's Word?

Answer: Stevie doesn't have a clue.

There are a range of opinions on this.
Some claim the Bible is like any other religious mythology. (fiction)
Some claim it is completely literal and inerrant, cover to cover. (non-fiction)
Others view it as a mixture of literal and figurative. (fiction and non-fiction)

Is the Revelation of John literal? (non-fiction)
What about the creation accounts? (fiction, or non-fiction)
Noah's flood? (fiction, or non-fiction)
The gospel accounts? (fiction, or non-fiction) When did the fig tree wither?

The normal mode of operating in any investigation into anything is to assume that the subject is true or to give it the benefit of any doubt, untill it has been shown not to be true or reliable.

You have raised questions about the bible, that is perfectly reasonable, but you have not substanciated your claims.

So do you claim the bible is mythalogical or if repeating others claims could you say why you are repeating them?

So, tell me, do you think their argument about this is true? What is your honest take on the biblical narrative of the flood? Do you believe it actually happened?

STV already admitted he doesn't believe what Moses, Jesus and Peter said about the absolutely literal Genesis Flood! But I think STV loves the parts about salvation.
