Do Christians Follow ALL Of The Bible?

Update:

Beverly J. - I can respect what you said much more than what she said. I'd like to think that the young woman learned something from this, but I'm afriad all she's learned is that there are mean people in R&S.

Update 2:

somethingtrinity - I'm glad that you could answer one of my questions.

    Wow, I get to answer one of your questions! I do follow all the Bible, I believe there are sections in the Old Testament that are meant for today also. I do not understand it all and even how to apply it all to my life, but I am learning. I enjoy reading the Bible and I use it not to put others down, but to allow Jesus to show me where I have been wrong and needing to change.

    A real Christian knows that the Bible is the text source. If you don't know what that is I'll explain it to you. The source is the reference where information is drawn. The information is gathered and understood in order to compile a mindset and behavior towards the objective criteria where one must use to formulate various functions. In Christianity, the Bible is the text source. So it is the text which guides one who calls them self a Christian who performs according to the criteria it establishes. There MIGHT be some who call themselves Christian who 'worship' the Bible. But within the Bible there are certain things which says that there is not to be placed any gods before God. The Bible is a text, not a God, therefore a logically thinking Christian will not worship the Bible, and neither will one who has known God through the Spirit of God. Yes, you are missing a great deal. You are doing what is called, "Throwing the baby out with the bathwater." You see one thing, and then dismiss it as error. In the Bible is the basis and the recorded history of what a Christian is by the oldest text available. So you are basically screwing yourself for no good reason.

    Catholics do. You should read some of the dissertations and letters the Doctors of the church wrote.

    True, I can't get past the first page of St Thomas Aquinas' main work, but let me tell you, Catholics have the bull by the horns in this situation. Others can ask every question under the sun and they have an answer for it. It is not something that hasn't been asked before. And its not the work itself, but HOW they answer the questions, taking into account the writers, the times the documents were written, and all kinds of things.

    It's like looking at a fractal.

    True Christians depend on the entire bible for dirrection .

    Christianity is more about the teachings and doctrines of the church than it is about what Jesus taught. Besides, the bible is a spritual guide book, not a law book. All religions are man made.

    Highly unlikely. Each one follows the parts that suits them. I soon got that sussed out.

    They're all stoning their entire families and sacrificing doves for various reasons as we speak, I'm sure.

    That rant of hers was completely moronic.

    If you're asking if Christians BELIEVE all of the bible as fact, then of course not.

    I, for example, don't believe Noah's ark happened, or that Adem and Eve existed.

    No only the parts they want to.

    I saw that little rant and had a laugh as well.
