IS THE BIBLE IMPERFECT & FLAWED?!.
I have been reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelations; I am like 90% done...and I will re-read it again and again.
The Bible (contrary to popular belief) is a human story, it is a mural of human imperfection; it is a painting of the flaws of human beings through history-via the lens of the Hebrews (in the old testament), and also through the lens of Jesus and thereafter the apostles who took the teachings of Jesus (and God's love) to Europe.
In the Bible (90% of the old testament) there is racism, discrimination, murder, infanticide, genocide, slavery, coitus interruptus, wars, famine, floods, contact with extraterrestrials, stories of races of giants, rape, incest, there is even a prophet called Hosea who was forced by GOD to marry a prostitute..................etc.
The turning point of the human story in the Bible happens in the book of Isaiah, where there is a promise of a prince of peace, a prince who will save humans and redeem them, his blood and wounds will wash them from sin by grace, and also heal them.
The new testament is a fulfilment of what was prophesied in Isaiah, Jesus came, he bled, die...and resurrect for humans to access God's grace and mercy directly, yes you can access God's via a silent prayer, talk to your creator, trust me you have not committed even 1% of the sins that King David did.
Yes, the Bible is a shocking write up, yes the Bible is a shocking narration of human flaws in the context/juxtaposed of/by GOD's love.
Talk to GOD today.
