[@kumarg3598]

Define reliable. The problem with all this is that people insert their faith (or lack thereof) into their "objectivity." Is it 100% totally accurate? Absolutely not. Is it 100% accurate is certain things? Yes. Is it accurate regarding the life and human death of jesus (probably) and resurrection (nope)? I think the real quedtion is what difference would it make

[@kimberlygriffin5012]

@@kumarg3598 I believe it makes all the difference in the world. To me, the Bible is absolutely true. Don’t get me wrong, for many years I had doubts regarding the validity of scripture. How could men write something and not rely on their own biases or opinions and not have their own agenda? Then I actually read the Bible, several times in fact. This lead me to more meaningful questions…like why would people of the NT die horrible deaths for a lie about Christ’s resurrection?…why do millions (maybe billions) of people around the world believe the Bible is completely true, many even risking their lives just to have only a few pages much less the whole thing?…why has this book survived for 6000 years?…why would Jesus, who is God and cannot lie, quote OT verses if they weren’t true? And I could go on, however, over the course of my researching and with the leading of the Holy Spirit, I completely believe the whole Bible to be true and the inerrant word of God. Unfortunately, the world today is viscerally opposed to the Bible and God. To be confronted with one’s shortcomings (sins) is a hard pill to swallow for many, myself included. I had to put aside my presuppositions, and stop parroting what people around me (and in the MSM) had to say about God and his word. I had to separate myself from the masses and really read and consume the whole Bible, not just the verses I could manipulate to fit my agenda or current feelings as many (including professing Christian’s) do these days. It takes faith to believe. I’m sure you will have objections to things I’ve said here. I don’t wish to argue about my beliefs, nor am I arguing that perhaps you’ve inserted your “faith or lack thereof” into your view point. I do, however, hope you’ll take a more objective, not subjective, look at God and His word. Maybe you’ll think a bit differently afterwards. Thank you for your comments, and may God richly blessed you ✝️

Can you imagine being so delusional, so willfully ignorant? Being so self serving, arrogant and narcissistic? That you would deny the infallible, inerrant truth of, the Gospel of the Living God of all creation? Knowing what the judgement holds for you, for ALL ETERNITY, if you don't come to accept and believe in the One who created you. The One who gives to you, your very breath? Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection is two of the most verifiable events from antiquity. Yet billions of ppl will accept nothing less, than considering themselves to be their own private "god". Convincing themselves that, whatever they feel their afterlife should be like, is absolutely how it's going to play out for them. I can't believe this used to be, me. Praise the Lord God Almighty for saving a wretch like me

[@JesusIsLordLookingUp]

Amen, Praise the Lord ! Jesus saved me the instant I cried out, praying for Him to save me. Immediately I knew I was forgiven and changed, passing from death to everlasting life as a new creation in Christ. That was God on the cross paying the debt for my sin that He didn’t owe. Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah of David. He will never leave nor forsake you. I John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.

[@FeetMusical]

The problem with discounting the account of the woman caught in adultery is the profound message itself: "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Who would have thought to say that? They are as profound as "render to Caesar that which is Caesar's". Further, Jesus first approaches her accusers by writing something in the dirt. We do not know what that was. But then the crowd was so affected by what was written that they dispersed, the oldest first, the youngest last. Again, who would have thought that up? To assume that this was "made up" presupposes that there was a conspiracy to add those words and by whom? A scribe? A scholar? For what reason? More than likely, John wrote his gospel first without those verses and copies were profusely distributed. Then, later, he amended it with the added verses. And copies of the amended version were distributed. There are not hundreds and thousands of copies from the first two centuries but about a dozen.

Read Metzgers “ textual commentary on the Greek New Testament“ where he goes over 2000 Variant Readings that his committee had to vote on before deciding which ones to put in the Greek New Testament used for modern Bible translations. these are significant variants that affect the meaning of the text, not the hundreds of thousands of spelling errors found among the extant manuscripts.
