There is no such thing as The Bible

To clear something up as Christians we are called to shed light onto all non-Christians. In doing so we are here to help people pick out the translation that they need. As a bible scholar if you will, you should know by now that Scripture is not in Order, each translation might put the books in order of time, or author or of type of book (ie poetry, laws). A jewish bible is not a Christian bible so depending on what you are looking for depends on what you will buy. In a bookstore a person looking to become a Christian will not say "hey maybe i shuold buy this jewish bible" the most popular of the translations is the NIV which will be the most ubundant translation which is probably what people will buy.First of all if your wondering The Bible was written by men except for one book which God wrote to Moses which encompasses the ten comandments. Secondly the text within the covers of your AV are inspired. If you look up inspired in a dictionary you get this for a definition: "To move by divine influence", "To breathe into" - Websters New Lexicon of the English Language Copyright 2002. By definition Scripture was written by men who were "moved by divine influence" or you could say Scipture is "God breathed". how do you know that men were not moved by God to write these passages known today as The Bible?

To answer your question Jesus was without sin until his death when he took on the sin of the world, where he then defeated death and rose again. Many use the temptation of Jesus to label him as a sinner but we are all tempted, the temptation itself is not sin, giving in to that sin is. Jesus is neither God nor man, he is a split being he is man but his tendancy's are God, in a sense hes God with limits (but these limits can be changed and altered as he sees fit). We see evidence of this split when Jesus cries out on the cross "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?" Jesus is looking for the God part of himself and finds that God and his other half has turned away in pain. The concept is difficult yes.This message has been edited by akldema, 09-25-2005 03:49 PM

God did not die no he sent his son to die for us which yes all fall short of the glory of God but from birth Jesus was with God, Jesus died with God turned away from him to feel the final pain, he died the way a man would die he suffered what man suffers. Jesus was not fully human, he was a human with divine nature. he is always devine and he is always human, hes not half and half, he is fully both. its an extreme understanding i dont understand it myself i was taught by my bible teacher/pastor this and many have agreed with this reasoning
