Subject: Is belief in the bible needed to be save |
Bible Note: 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. |
