[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 5468340, member: 26800"] [USER=33372]@728ups[/USER], I am a believer in Christ. I do love the Bible, I love reading it and I find parts of it to be very useful in my spiritual and religious life. Other parts are questionable and confusing to me. I do not adhere to the doctrine of the complete literal and historical interpretation of scripture nor in the doctrine of the inerrancy and infallibility of scripture. I have never been able to reconcile these doctrines with my spiritual life and some of Jesus’s more radical teaching in opposition to the established religionists of His day. Even as I continue to read scripture daily as part of my religious/spiritual disciplines. My principle is I take what I want as it pertains to me spiritually and I leave the rest. I try not to argue. I do fail sometimes. I do not believe in making God contingent on a book but I believe the book is contingent upon God and the Holy Spirits revelation to each person specifically and personally. I do use the Bible in part to assist me in defining my morality. All of this is based upon my faith. I know and respect your right as a professed Atheist to put faith in whatever you choose. As an Atheist you have expressed your feelings about the Bible, as I have mine but I am personally curious what you use to define or assist you in defining your morality? I think you make some valid points in this thread and I respect your right to voice you opinion. You definitely IMO don’t give off fanatical or extremist vibes as others do as they try to give their respective points of view. [/QUOTE]
