Are you a Christian who bases their worldview on the Bible?
This question is for Christians. Do you take the Bible as written and use it for your worldview? Many Christians seem to be moving away from the Bible and adopting a more liberal stance. If this describe you, can you describe your reason for doing this?
I do my best to use the bible as my world view. However, the old testament incorporates "stoning them" when they do wrong and with the New Testament we see, "Forgive them".
I do see the Bible as a beautiful book, full of important life teachings. But it has to be read metaphorically. I cannot believe that God created the world in six days. In fact, I wrote a book - The Jungian Bible - that presents a Jungian interpretation of some Old Testament stories, bringing forward their life lessons.

I don't take the KJV Or later versions exactly as written for my view. The KJV was written and modified taking elements of the three original versions (Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic) to use as a scare tactic to force conversion. Most of the bible should be taken metaphorically. Some should be taken contextually as according to different definitions. So if something seems off in the bible, I get a dictionary so that I can have a different idea of what could possibly be meant

It's a favourite topic with atheists to go through the Bible looking for anything that may support Jesus was a hypocrite and wicked man. So what were these supposed evils?
by Eric Dierker 10 years ago
We all understand that Christians are supposed to study the Bible. Nobody is here saying they are not supposed to do that. But many say we must do exactly what is in the Bible. But that would make a Christian someone who followed the Bible and not Christ. So the only way to make sense of it is to...
