The "Good Book" thread
I have pondered this for years , and would like to hear opinion from our members on a somewhat sticky issue....Please do not get offended by this, or take it as anything more than curiosity on my part.
There are numerous interpretations of scripture, and very few define the "Words of God" in the same way, though there are similarities found in each, the message seems to differ depending on which version you read. I have asked many friends who are Christian, and a few Catholic aquaintances...as well as a Jehovah or two that came to my door. None had any answer to the following question other than, to claim the others as corrupted (only one actually used this word)..So, Here Goes:
If each Bible differs from the others, How can ANY of them be the unabridged word of God?
And secondly, If indeed one cannot claim to know the words of this God, What makes one devote such energy to defining their lives by these books?
