How many Christians don't believe in the Bible?

Answer 1

There aren't any to be a Christian you also have to believe is the Bible.

.

AnswerAnswer from a Catholic perspective: It depends on what you mean by "believe in the Bible." The Catholic Church, in the first century wrote the various books of the New Testament as part of her preaching. Nearly four centuries later, she determined which of the New Testament writings were inspired by God, were infallible, and which were not. To that extent, to be a Christian means that you must believe in everything that is contained in the Bible. However, many people nowadays use the word "Christian" to denote someone who believes in Jesus Christ but is not a member of the Catholic Church which He founded. When Martin Luther left the Church to form his own, he settled on the Bible as the rule of faith, which doesn't make any sense as Our Blessed Lord didn't write a Bible, nor command His followers to write one, and there was no New Testament, as we have now, for nearly four hundred years of the Church's existence. Nevertheless, these heretics, most of whom started out as protestant, settled on the Bible as their rule of faith, and believe that it is the only revelation that Our Blessed Lord left them. Many people who believe this call themselves Christians because of this, but do not belong to Christ's Church. True Christians may not believe this as Our Blessed Lord left the fullness of His revelation to His Church, and send the Holy Spirit to guide it always. He never spoke of a New Testament, and did not guarantee the one that we have, only the Church guarantees that. So a true Christian believes in the Bible because they believe in Christ's Church, they do NOT believe "in" the Bible.

Answer:

If the question begs; "How many Christians believe what the Bible SAYS?" -- then, should an honest poll be taken... it would be discovered that very few modern professing Christians have read the Bible. And fewer still have studied it, to KNOW what it says.

The vast majority were "told" what the Bible says by their parents, grandparents [and their denominational church]... and very few have bothered to dig into the Bible itself to see if any of it's true.

In other words... most modern professing Christians "believe what they have been TOLD ABOUT the Bible [with few having a clue what it says]. With the crux of modern professing Christian belief revolving around the global traditional holidays of Christmas and Easter [pagan observances, both not commanded in the Bible]; and a preoccupation with the elusive thought of "going to heaven" [not the biblical promise of God to men, but the innermost obsessive desire of Satan to go there to depose God from His throne over the universe].

"For thou hast said in thine heart, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN [I will go to heaven], I will exalt my throne above the stars of God [the angels - Rev.1:20]... I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High." (Isa.14:13-14)

So, most modern professing Christians believe what they have been TOLD the Bible says. Because, if they read it and studied it... they would discover much of what they were told is the opposite of what the Bible says.

"False Christianity" is the FIRST "end time sign" Jesus warns His servants, Christians, to beware of. It's written in the Bible... yet few have read it, much less "believe it":

"...Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I AM Christ; and shall deceive many." (Matt.24:4-5)

The several hundreds of divided, doubting and confused modern religious denominations, today, calling themselves "Christian" bears testimony to Jesus' warning.

Most don't KNOW what the Bible says, to prove or disprove any of it, to know what to "believe" about it. Instead... the majority of modern professing Christians "believe what they are TOLD about the Bible."
