There are four things in the bible that I don't subcribe to:
1. Hell is a firey pit that roasts people for all eternity.
2. That Noah put two of each animal on an ark, while our loving God drowned everything else.
3. The world is less than 8000 years old.
4. All non-Christians go to hell.
There are others but the K.I.S.S. principal applies here...
1. Yes I believe hell is eternal for unbelievers.
2. Yes I believe God enabled Noah to put the animals on the ark, and yes the rest drowned.
3. Don't know, don't care.
4. All people who do not accept Jesus as Savior go to hell.

1. Yes, Virginia, there is an eternal, firey hell.
2. Yes, Noah did put two of every kind of animal onto the ark. (For example, two canine kind not two wolves, two coyotes, two poodles, two chows.)
3. Yes, it is (IMHO, closer to 6,000).
4. Those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior (with some exceptions only God knows) will be in hell, eternally separated from God.
I agree with everything in the bible. As for issues raised (1 through 4) all of those have sound theological and scientific support. Please understand that things like carbon dating (which I struggled to jive with Genesis) are completely unreliable after a certain cut off period. Even dinosaurs were a source of struggle for me but they too are mentioned in the Bible. Note, the best anti-creationism theories regarding the age of the earth and the creatures that lived on it are just that, theories (best educated guesses).
But don't take my word for it, you can easily research these issues online by using key words, such as "creation" "carbon dating" "christianity" "noah's ark".

I totally agree... I believe it is the divine, "God breathed" word from Him.. a road map if you will, from God who has created a place for me... created the way.. and left me with a map. Who am I to say that any part of the map is incorrect? I have never been there. I am just a lowly servent with limited skills. I will do my best to follow my Masters directions. I love Him and desire with all my heart to be with Him.. so I will follow His way.... picking up my cross daily. uplifted eyes.....
Ephesians 5:10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. How would I go about doing that? By reading His word, and prayer.

I agree with all of the Bible. Some of it has been mistranslated, leading to mass misunderstanding. I say that:
1. Hell is not literal torture.
2. Hell is not forever.
3. Much of the scripture that we think is about the "end times" is prophecy that has already been fulfilled.
4. God is not constantly resorting to Almighty Back Up Plans. He knew all that has and will transpire and created a way of excape via the death of Jesus so as to eventually declare perfect victory over death and hell.
5. This side of the grave is not our last chance to repent and be saved.
6. Evil is necessary in order to appreciate and know good, and was created by God as part of His Master Plan.
That should be enough to get me into trouble for now.
