1 | Is belief in the bible needed to be save | NT general Archive 1 | Lead Pipe | 160916 | ||
How offended will God be if what hetfield is suggesting is the truth, it works both ways. I would like to believe the bible is Gods word but in my opinion there’s not enough evidence to support that conclusion. What bothers me is that many people link salvation to believing in "Gods word." I have been told I'm not saved or I'm not a true Christian because I'm not convinced that it is Gods word, Yet I put my faith in Christ. My response is; is it Christ's sacrifice plus believing that the bible is the word of God that equals salvation?" Clearly it is by Christ’s sacrifice alone that we are saved. Maybe someday I will see some evidence that will convince me that the bible is Gods word, life would be alot easier, maybe they will even allow me to join my church. | ||||||

Don't worry about joining a church. Just pray and read. If you read all the responses in this thread you might lean a little more toward the belief that the Bible is God's inspired word. You do not need it to get saved. I believe many people in remote areas have been saved without it. Many also would never have been if someone didn't share the word with them. I went through the late 50's -80's reading it, studying it, and doubting it. I had found Christ but there was so much bible I couldn't swallow. Somewhere I turned my perspective into really wanting to know. I somehow let go of all my arguments and proofs. Now, daily, I pray show me what you want me to get out of this portion of your word, or something similar, and I read. Often I feel Him very close. I have no doubt it is the word He wants me to be reading and when all else fails, I can find a truth in this word. Lee Stroebel's books helped me a lot too. He didn't believe in it at all. He proved himself wrong. God isn't offended if Hetfield is suggesting it, in honest desire to know the truth. If you put your faith in Christ and seek Him, He will lead you right back to the Bible. He has done it to me so many times. God bless you both in your pursuit. |
