  • Christian TV Host 'Comes Out,' Gets Support from Churchgoers

    Thank you for your replies.

    As may be evident I am really stuggling with how to use the Bible. I have always heard that the Bible, the whole Bible was the Word of God and that it is without error.

    With that said I am hearing that we should adhere to some of the Bible but not all of it. How should I choose which part to adhere to?

    I am always hearing people say they live by the Bible - yet they eat bacon and plant their garden with more than one kind of seed and wear multi-fibered clothing - yet the Bible says we should not do any of these.

    And what about women who talk in church? I talk to women in my church all the time yet I read somewhere that women were supposed to be silent in church - this is all very frustrating. How can we know what is true in the Bible?

    Does all the stuff about the law in the New Testament mean that I don't really have to pay attention to what is said in the Old Testament? Is the Old Testament the Word of God that should be taken literally or not? Is some of the Bible to be taken literally and som not?

    What parts are to be consider literal - killing my children if they curse me? Loving my neighbor even if my neighbor is a Samaritan?

    Please help.

    I need some clarification on the Bible and when we should heed what it says and when we shouldn't. The Bible says that it is OK to sell my daughter into slavery (Exodus 21:7) - is this the 'The Word' of God? Are people who sell their children into slavery just doing God's will according to his Word?

    The Bible also says that it is OK to kill my children if they curse me (Exodus 21:17) is this something Christians should condone?

    Is everything in the Bible just as it appears?
