Is the Bible under attack?

[Depleted]

My point to anyone who may believe the Bible was written only by human beings and not inspired by God or that the Word of God has become corrupted and no longer of use for Christians, the message presented in those pages are God's message to His creation and that message is still the same yesterday, today, and will be tomorrow.

Isn't that preaching to the choir though?

I've asked this question after reading an OP in another thread. Of course, I say the bible is under attack and more so in the current day. Satan is on his last leg and he will use any instrument to destroy and manipulate God's Word and God's people into believing his lies. As well, while on another site, I saw posters who said they were Christians trying to dismantle that holy book.

The message from those pages is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Why? Because God does not change and neither will His Message to all mankind.

The OP statement is meant for those who actually try and change the words written by and through inspired people who were guided by the HS to put into word God's message to His creation. Those people would include both believers and non-believers. My statement is a verifiable one whenever we read what some interpret as a "book which is corrupt."

No where did I make a statement that "other posters" are wrong and only those with our views are right.

I stand by the fact that I have seen people attack the very book itself and that I my sole purpose in this thread.

I think you not only need to write more clearly, but to also remember what you wrote.

God's Word first came under attack when the disciples and apostles preached it. It continued to be under attack from various heresies since the NT was written. It will continue to be under attack until Jesus returns; but it will continue to prevail over all attempts to destroy or pervert it.

Amen brother! The Bible is certainly under attack by those who are mixed up in various false religions and cults who play the same game in salvation as every other false movement of Christendom. They profess to teach that salvation is by grace through faith, but then redefine this in a way that is contrary to New Testament doctrine. Even though they deny this, they teach that salvation is by grace plus law, faith plus works. Their doctrine of salvation is a subtle mixture of law and grace that is a perversion of the Gospel.

i don't know who these people are, and even tho i'd self-describe as being pretty good at 'google' i still don't know who they are - because i am bluntly, not interested in finding out.

You can conveniently ignore Rob Bell and his cohorts of false teachers. He is one of those who is currently undermining Bible truth and attacking fundamental Bible doctrines. But there is no question that the host of false teachers on radio, TV, and the internet are attacking Bible truth with their subtle deceptions. Everything sounds so good until you see what Scripture actually says.

well that is not true at all

when I brought up Rob Bell in another thread a couple of wks back in reference to a question asked by someone, the poster did not know who Bell was

Willie said they should leave it that way

It's not uncommon for persons to say they're against something, and then make a statement to the contrary, and show they actually lean that way themselves. What Willie said is a perfect example of this in what he said here, regardless of what he said elsewhere. The statement was exactly Bell and McLaren ideology. But certainly you're ignorant of them or you'd see the fallacy of his statement yourself.

Good to hear. i'll just continue doing so then.

God's Word has been under attack from the beginning...

Amen....starting with one word being added in the garden....the word "not"

Does anyone feel like the Word is under attack more viciously in this day and age than in the past? Just curious.

BTW, just so you know, I really did get what you meant by "other posters." You were complainer how folks took something you said on another site, not "other posters" on this thread. Sometimes it helps to know when we really were being clear.

That said, nope to your question here for two reasons:

1. I am a woman. Not ashamed of that, but it really does come with a plethora of feelings assaulting me at any given moment. (Like right now as I sit here in my quiet living room, I'm feeling cold, excited -- package came in the mail -- sore, and calm all at once.) I remember when feelings overwhelmed me, whether they were good, bad, or indifferent. Just too many directions a brain can take me, if I deal in how I feel as motivator, so I work at dealing with what I'm thinking over what I'm feeling whenever womanly possible. (I'd say "humanly," but men are humans too, and I always "feel" like they get feeling like they get chocolate. They understand both, but just don't get either like a woman gets either. lol)

2. I've learned enough history to know of times when it was worse than now. Rome was so opposed to the Word, that they hunted and destroyed anyone who agreed with it. They were more effective than we realized, since they actually wiped out Christianity in Alexandria. Big city! All Christians killed. And they kept trying for the next two centuries. In more modern times, Stalin, Lenin, Chaing Kai-shek, three generations of Korean dictators, Hitler, Ho Chi Minh, and just about every dictator we remember also hated the Word. There's a reason Christians are being killed in Muslim countries, even today. The world has always hated God. It hasn't become worse. It merely got louder in our country lately.

Feeling is a very subjective thing. Also very dependent on where you live, what you read, what you watch, who are people you meet with...

For example, in Europe, there was a very long history of violent catholicism, religious wars, even burning people at stake for faith.

Then, nacism, again, killing many Christians.

Then, communism, 40 years of oppresion, many Christians were jailed or even killed. Christians could study only specific kinds of high schools, could do only limited kinds of jobs... Pastors were beaten by secret police, some were beaten to death during police investigations...

Now, we have cca 30 years of freedom and peace, finally. There are some intelectual fights with atheists and churches getting smaller and smaller every day, but thats nothing in comparison to history.
