Re: Seriously?
The Bible was not made up. And the very fact of its triumphant survival throughout these many centuries of turmoil and trouble, especially for the Jews, proves that God has blessed the Bible and brought it to us so that we might read it and obey Him in every aspect of our lives.
If God did not want us to obey the Bible and His commands for every aspect of our lives, then He wouldn't have written it and preserved it. Furthermore, He would not have covered every aspect of our lives if He didn't want us to live in complete, utter, and constant obediance to Him.
The only time to think about the Bible rather than just read and obey, is when dealing with something not literally and specifically detailed in the Bible. Take television for an example. This is the sort of thing that Christians need to read and pray upon. God always finds a way to let His will be known to those who really believe in Him. For those who continue to be uncertain, there are pastors who are imbued with God's authority to guide them.
God covers issues like sexual conduct very clearly. He covers the
attitude that we are to take towards His Word clearly as well.
Homosexuality bad; Bible good. Bible says homosexuality bad; Bible more good. People who read and obey Bible good. People who engage in homosexual behavior, bad. People who read Bible and declare Bible silent on homosexual behavior, nuts.
