Matthew 19:26 Looking them in the face, Jesus said to them: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Mark 9:23 - Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." [NKJV]
Those words are not mentioned in the Bible.
Yes. Jesus said and did what the Father told him to. His words were simple but are only understood by those who choose to believe. In one part of the bible Jesus praised the Father by saying how it pleased the father to have it this way - those who thought they were righteous (those who believe they have the answers not God) did not understand what Jesus was telling them. The Catholic Church interprets the bible to explain God's will to the willing.
Christians read the Bible to learn more about God whom they love, to learn about the biblical story of mankind, and the Jewish nation in particular, for comfort, wisdom, ways to live an better life. They believe it is one of the most reliable sources of history, as well as being renown for its poetry and prose.
AnswerSome believe that the Bible, or at least parts of it, were personally dictated by God, and so is the word of God. For example, those who believe that Moses wrote the Book of Genesis are aware that Moses could not possibly have known about many of the events described in the book. Some therefore say that God told Moses exactly what to write.In other cases, some believe that the Bible was at least inspired by God, meaning that the Bible was written by people in their own words, but that what they wrote could not have contained any error.
It depends what they are measuring. A caliper does better with cylinders and things like that. A ruler does better with a flat distance between two marks.
Perhaps. But for those of us who believe that the Earth is young, the question likely becomes moot.
A:Yes.First of all, followers of Judaism believe in the Old Testament, but not the New Testament.Muslims believe that much of what is in the Bible, both Old Testament and New, is true, but that it has been corrupted by the followers of the two older Abrahamic religions.Deists just believe in the God of the Bible, as creator. They believe that he does not interfere in his creation and does not respond to prayer. Thomas Jefferson wrote a small book, popularly called the Jefferson Bible, containing those non-supernatural things in the Bible that he regarded as true and worthy of reading.
Those words are not mentioned in the Bible.

Opinion Of course, a lot depends on what you mean by "believe in the Bible". Parts of the Bible are supposed to be historical. Some of the things that are said are supported by other historical evidence, which would be a good reason to believe what is said in the Bible. Other parts are contradicted by other historical evidence which would be a good reason not to believe those parts. Parts of the Bible dictate laws and codes of behaviour. In those cases if "believing in the Bible" means accepting those laws and codes of behaviour you would have to do it because you not only think that those codes are set by God but that they can never change no matter how much society changes. That's kind of tricky for Christians who also have to believe the parts of the Bible which say that other parts of the Bible (the Kosher laws) somehow no longer apply. On the other hand some of the rules about human behaviour (The Ten Commandments, Proverbs, the moral lessons in Jesus' parables) correspond with good sense which is a good reason to believe in them. Basically The Bible is a long and complicated work and it would be ridiculous to think that the whole thing can be justified with one simplistic argument.
well I'm not a man but to find god you have to believe in him, go to church, and most important read your bible. and if you do those things he will be near you always
A:Yes. Most Christians believe this, although those who have studied the Bible are less likely to do so.
The Bible does not say either of those things.
One Bible verse that discusses the consequences for those who do not believe in God is John 3:18, which states, "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of Gods one and only Son."
the orthodox still believe in kosher because they are very strict and religious so the read the bible and it says in the bible to have those food laws.
Yes I do.To those who believe, no explanation is necessary.To those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.
A bible basher is a person who preaches Christianity, to the extent that they take as many opportunities as possible to publicize their belief and convert those around them.
