Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: yes

"As far as "the rules" of the Bible are concerned, why is it really called the OLD testament anyway"I would suggest you refrain from commenting until you learn what the old covenant was, and what the new covenant is make sure you update us.
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

To say that the Bible isn't an important piece of literature is ignorant. The words in the Scriptures have been used for almost 2000 years to show people many things. The Church has accomplished many great things with the Holy Book, many of those things terrible, but to deny the Book's greatness is absurd. It is, one of, if not the single most important text in the Western world.However, it is not important because the words in it are true. The words in it are tales of morality laced in allegory to remind mankind that we need not fear, that we can be better men and that, if we need Him, God can be in your soul. The Bible is important because it gave mankind an answer when no suitable one existed.Anyone who says the Bible is 100% True is obviously misguided. A book that old, written with the means and relatively primitive language and understanding of the period's people could not possibly be more than allegory.For instance, The Great Flood. To put it simply, there is not enough water on the planet to drown the world. It's a plain and simple fact. But, when you see that the Flood is simply an image to project the cleansing of man, say, the first steps into civilization, it starts to make sense. You can even throw in the fact that the Nile River floods every year. Though, I'm aware that the Nile is quite a distance from Israel, the environmental conditions for such events also occur elsewhere in the world. A particularly violent storm along with the natural swelling of a river during that time of year could catalyze a flood of (at the time) massive proportions. Such things could be seen by relatively primitive man as acts of God.
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

The bible has many valid things in it,I mean whether you're a Christian or not you can still admit that the bible has proven to be somewhat prophetic. But there are some things in the bible that make absolutely no sense and no amount of rationalization can be put behind them. The bible condemns some groups of people for being who they naturally are,it convinces people that possession of slaves are ok(as long as you treat them right),and it just says all of these other contradicting things. It's best to not consider the bible a completely reliable source but at the same time,don't blow it off as being totally inaccurate because you're allowing yourself to be just as closed minded as the ones that believe in it 100%
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

Nope, it's "according to" only. The originals (if they were even written as Jesus never wrote a word) are long gone. Though some say the vatican hold fragments but becasue they differ so much from modern teachings it exposes the faith as a human creation.
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: yes

Your understanding of the Bible especially the new testament is severly uneducated. Jesus never wrote anything in the Bible. He was only quoted by the authors. The four gospels were written as eyewitness testimony by the apostles. You should do some research before judging a book you know nothing about.
Debate: Is the bible 100% true

As with most religious texts the contents of it are true until broken apart with facts. When that inevitably happens you are of course labeled as one who would attack another's faith, regardless of the many logic holes it possesses.

Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

You know, for me the Bible is a book as another ones. We don't know, exactly, who wrote it and if was someone reliable who can prove that when the translators translated it was completely right? In addition, we know that the Church wanted to control all the world and write about God and his son is a good way to do it. For me, Jesus even was a God's son. He was a smart and witty guy and the Church just used him to earn money and devotees. I believe in God tough. But not in religion or bible.

Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

how can anything written by any man be 100% true? No man can tell the true word of god. there is a god, but religion is man-made.
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: yes

i agree with you on some points. but the bible is completely true. remember, the bible was inspired meaning God directed the writing and construction of the bible. as for religion. yes Jesus disliked religion. religion is man made and destroys the fact that we are to have faith in God for salvation, not follow rituals and good works for salvation or listen to a religious leader as being equal in authority as the bible is, for they are not.
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

remember, the bible was inspired meaning God directed the writing and construction of the bibleIf you really believe that, perhaps you could explain why God directed the writing and construction of the part about beating slaves to death and it being completely A-OK with him, so long as they didn't die right away, because they're just property after all.What kind of God would condone slavery, let alone beating them to death?
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: yes

when i mean inspired by god. obviously god did not inspire David's son to rape his family member or for Salomon to consult a medium then to individually write about the experience, some events in the bible are just history, nothing spiritual. what i do mean is that there is a anomalous belief in scripture that all Christians accept which is that God inspired the overall work of the bible. that is, he's rules and characteristics or attributes, or who God is was accurately written down over the generations by people who were inspired or directed by God to do so, but also most importantly his mission or plan, the scarlet thread of redemption. the story of God to bring a salvation to all the world, aka Jesus. also just as important, that the bible is the ultimate authority on everything. so when we have questions we go to the bible for answers knowing it will be correct because the bible is God inspired.but to your point about slavery. please read this article on the subject you brought up.

Sorry, but where is that in the bible, seeing as God says "love your enemies" Matthew 5:44, and It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Galations 5:1

Since AuntiChrist has been banned for some reason, I'll help.http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+21:20-21&version=KJV "And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money."Some other interesting things the Bible says about raping slaves and keeping their families hostage after they have been set free:http://www.evilbible.com/Slavery.htm
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

It's more probable than not that a man named Jesus lived. My problem with him being more than a man is the fact that he did not know how to write. It seems to run in the family. We gods can create everything... but don't know how to write.It just seems unreasonable.

And we know what "inspired" these men because of......? Things they themselves wrote? A mind-reading device? Take your pick!
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: yes

If you won't accept a deity that created everything and is eternal and infinite, then what is your answer? What are the origins of everything? This is where the law of cause and effect choose your answers. Either the universe has always existed and is infinite. Which we know that's not the case as it ages and the energy depletes over time (novas, comets, black holes) so then what is it? The idea of a First cause one that would have to be omnipotent and infinite has no beginning or end. You tell me your theory. If you speak of the Big Bang I want to know it's first cause. For example how was the first matter created?
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

If you won't accept a deity that created everything and is eternal and infinite, then what is your answer? It's not that I won't accept this, it's that I don't anymore. This is why I left religion. Religion encourages irrational certainty in things which are beyond our ability to know. The truth is that nobody knows how it all began, despite the fact that some people claim the "Know how it all happened" (which is BS). This is why the Bible and all other sacred texts require faith. Without faith religion could not survive.I can tell you what I think happened, and why I think that way, but I don't claim to have all the answers. I think the universe is infinite in age, it has no beginning or end, and thus requires no creator because it has always been. The universe merely undergoes a cycle of big bangs and big crunches. The universe expands and collapses, expands and collapsed and so forth...Some people have a hard time understanding this but it makes perfect sense to me.Which we know that's not the case as it ages and the energy depletes over time (novas, comets, black holes) so then what is it?Please do not go regurgitating tired polemical arguments about scientific laws in which you don't understand. It gets old very quickly, people quoting the 2nd law of thermodynamics which they read on some website. The 2nd law of thermodynamics only applies to isolated systems that are out of equilibrium, and it is a postulate about the movement of heat. Energy does not "deplete" over time, it merely changes form and location. This in accordance with the Conservation of energy.http://www.answers.com/topic/conservation-of-energy

"The truth is that nobody knows how it all began, despite the fact that some people claim the "Know how it all happened" (which is BS)."Why would make such a generalization? Is there not the possibility you have heard the answer, yet refuse to accept it (not just christianity)? "This is why the Bible and all other sacred texts require faith. Without faith religion could not survive."I love this kind of statement. It just displays the arrogance and self entitlement atheists (and much of our world culture) possess. Why do you think the God of creation should show himself to you? The fact people think they should have to see God to believe him, shows a severe inclination toward a self-righteous attitude. With so few people in history having a real impact (compared to total people who have ever lived), why should God have to display himself to you? God has revealed himself in the word of scripture. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse," Romans 1:18–20 "I think the universe is infinite in age, it has no beginning or end, and thus requires no creator because it has always been."My question is what was the First Cause, we know matter doesn't create itself. Despite how some try to impose that to quantum theory (which states no new matter is created). Something had to create the universe, this fact can't be ignored. There is always a First Cause, this is a scientific law you should be aware of it. "Energy does not "deplete" over time, it merely changes form and location. This in accordance with the Conservation of energy."This refers to quantum mechanics in which interconnected mechanisms exchange energy without friction. This is typically in a controlled enviroment, not in such a place full of variances like the universe.

Why would make such a generalization? Is there not the possibility you have heard the answer, yet refuse to accept it (not just christianity)?Anything is possible. Not everything is probable.I love this kind of statement. It just displays the arrogance and self entitlement atheists (and much of our world culture) possess. Why do you think the God of creation should show himself to you? The fact people think they should have to see God to believe him, shows a severe inclination toward a self-righteous attitude.It shows an inclination towards skepticism. How is that self-righteous? With so few people in history having a real impact (compared to total people who have ever lived), why should God have to display himself to you?Why would he have to pick and choose? Is not your god omnipresent? If your God is real why would he expect me to simply take other people's word for it? Do not tell me God is real, let him tell me himself.God has revealed himself in the word of scripture.So say the men who wrote it. Along with the authors of every other religious text ever written.If God really had an important message to spread, why would he rely on a number of obscure ancient texts, and expect people to just accept the word of their authors in the midst of so many "false prophets" and myths? Why not just tell us?My question is what was the First Cause, we know matter doesn't create itself.You don't get it, do you? If the universe is chronologically infinite, that means there is no first cause. Despite how some try to impose that to quantum theory (which states no new matter is created). That's not what quantum mechanics states at all.This refers to quantum mechanics in which interconnected mechanisms exchange energy without friction. This is typically in a controlled enviroment, not in such a place full of variances like the universe.What is this? What interconnected mechanisms?What are you talking about, and what does it have to do with thermodynamics or conservation of energy?
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: yes

"It shows an inclination towards skepticism. How is that self-righteous?" Answer coming after next quote. "Why would he have to pick and choose? Is not your god omnipresent? If your God is real why would he expect me to simply take other people's word for it? Do not tell me God is real, let him tell me himself." You say the God of creation has to prove himself to you, and you don't know how this makes you self-righteous? Who are you that God should have to show himself to you? In the Bible, God tells Moses that no man can see him or they will die. "So say the men who wrote it. Along with the authors of every other religious text ever written."  This generalization is simply false. We know of many religions that are written with no inspiration of any kind of deity. You must remember the inerrant word of God is quoted in his book. When the Bible quotes God that is him directly speaking. When it talks of historical narrative this is from the perspective of the people witnessing it or the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. "You don't get it, do you? If the universe is chronologically infinite, that means there is no first cause." Apparently you don't get it. We know the universe has a beginning because it ages and no new matter is created. Also, no new energy is created. To suggest the universe is infinite and had no beginning is along the lines of the supernatural. You believe it cycles from "expanse" to "crunch" but I am asking is when that all started. What evidence do you have to say it has no beginning? "That's not what quantum mechanics states at all." I was speaking about quantum theory as a whole. I was not stating the theory. I was merely mentioning to you within that theory it states no new matter is created. The LAW (not theory 'conjecture') of cause and effect must have a first cause. Because every effect has a known or unknown cause. The universe is in the realm of our scientific understanding, God is not.
Debate: Is the bible 100% true
Side: No

You say the God of creation has to prove himself to you, and you don't know how this makes you self-righteous? Who are you that God should have to show himself to you? In the Bible, God tells Moses that no man can see him or they will die.When did I say this? I did not say he HAD to do anything. I am simply telling you that I am not going to take someone's word for it that there is a omnipotent, omnipresent being, residing in another plane of existence. If such a being had any desire whatsoever to eliminate all doubt of his existence, it is entirely within his (or her?) power to do so. So then we must submit that either he does not exist, desires some degree of doubt in humans or is completely indefferent.This generalization is simply false. We know of many religions that are written with no inspiration of any kind of deity.And we know of many that are (or so they claim).You must remember the inerrant word of God is quoted in his book.We know the Bible is inerrant how? Because the author said it was....And we know the author was inspired by God, how? Because the author said he was....See a pattern here?Apparently you don't get it. We know the universe has a beginning because it agesWhich only demonstrates the passage of time, not the beginning of it. ...and no new matter is created.Matter is formed from energy, Matter is nothing but super dense energy. Enrgy can be converted into matter, and matter can be converted into energy.Remember:E=MC^2We have learned from Einstein that the total quantity of energy+matter is constant.I was speaking about quantum theory as a whole. I was not stating the theory. I was merely mentioning to you within that theory it states no new matter is created.I don't know who told you this, but they are wrong. Quantum Theory says nothing of the sort. Quantum theory, in laymens terms speaks of the instability/unpredictability of matter on a sub-atomic level.The LAW (not theory 'conjecture') of cause and effect must have a first cause. Because every effect has a known or unknown cause. The universe is in the realm of our scientific understanding, God is not.Causality is not a law, it is a principal in physics. Causality does not even apply on a planck level of time.It is no better to say that God is uncaused, than it is to say the Universe is uncaused. At least we know the Universe exists.

If Ahaziah was 42 when he took to the throne, then he would have been 2 years older than his fatherSo when you say you believe it's all true, does that include parts that mention people who are older than their parents?Maybe I'm just not interpreting the impossibility of people being older than their parents correctly, or perhaps I'm just taking the impossibility of people being older than their parents out of context.

So, if the bible is true, we should kill all gays, wiccans, atheists and believers of other religions? Should we drink the blood and eat the body of Jesus? Should we believe that God let Adam and Eve to eat the apple? Didn't he know what was going to happen? Why didn't he send Jesus in sooner? He could've prevented the flood. The word 'trinity' isn't in the bible. Hell was not described in the bible as the church would have you believe it. Why, if God has a "plan", did he incorporate Hitler and cancer and starvation and war into it. If there is a God, I hate him and his whole regime up there in the clouds well down here we suffer.

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)It speaks for it's self.

Side: Yes

Accurate:1. free from error or defect; consistent with a standard, rule, or model; precise; exact. 2. careful or meticulous: an accurate typisthttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/accurate Does the Bible consistently show Gods power? Yes. It follows the standard, rule, or model that has been established by its authors and is accurate by definition.Definition number 2 also is true, because it was meticulously written. Proof of this is found in the era in which it was written. No ball point pen, quality paper, spell check etc. Meticulous describes the Bible to a tee.
