[QUOTE=Darrin;2871825]It means I regard some of what is said in the bible as exaggerated, misleading, misinterpreted, or altogether untrue.[QUOTE]Interesting. For example, God even said the words of Job's friends lacked knowledge. Unless you doubt that even the words ascribed to God are unreliable? How do you determine what is true?
[QUOTE]For myself? Yes. Who else would I trust?[QUOTE]Are you like those who say "What's true for you may not be true for me"? or, "My truth" and "Your truth"? Do you believe what the Bible says about He who trusts in himself is a fool?
[QUOTE]Men wrote the bible. The catholic church decided what made the final cut before sending it to the publisher. So, yes. You place a lot of faith in man.[QUOTE] Actually, I put my trust in God, Who, I believe, or trust, inspired and caused His Words to be recorded for us. I certainly do not trust the "Catholic Church" and its nicolaitan history. But, knowing a bit of the nature of man, I can understand how and maybe even a little of the why they went astray...as an "insittution", but I don't hate those who are "on that path" in their journey.
[QUOTE]On a similar journey, myself. Just taking a different path.[QUOTE]Wonderful. I'm glad we crossed paths here for a bit. Pretty exciting journey isn't it?
That's wise.It's all of it. While I believe that some of it was divinely inspired, it was still written by men. That's not to say that I dismiss it all out of hand.
Thanks for answering. May God bless you on your journey to find Him!
