The history part. And the god part. But... some of the life lessons are believable, I guess.

much better. in my personal opinion, i don't agree with anything having to do with jesus. i don't agree with the creation story, i don't agree with the voilence accepted through "justified revenge", i don't agree with men being superior to women, i don't think many of the stories make sense or could ever happen such as Noah's ark. much of the bible makes little sense, but its core values are sound, its essentials of being a good person are what i agree with now i'll be rated down because i expressed an opinion, i'm ready for it, bring it on

Well what do you mean by disagree? Do I belive that all of it was inspired by God. Yes I do. Do I agree with or like all the rules. Hell no I want to have pre-marital sex, I want to make homosexuality not a sin, I DON'T WANT TO LOVE MY ENEMY. But I've realized that God is smarter then I am so I follow the codes HE lays down and not my own falliable moral compass. So no I don't like every rule but I follow them anyways because I am not arrogant enough to assume that God's moral compass is necessarily the same as my own and I have the humility to follow God's even when I don't like it.

I could not live by old testament standards but the principles of how we should live, I do agree with.

Pretty much from beginning to end. Especially the beginning, I have to say. To me, they are just nice stories

I am a sinner and mortal, I have no right to challenge the rules and regulations of my Creator and the Almighty One. As a child obeys their parent, I obey my heavenly father and all the guidelines in the book he inspired. The answer is "no". I do not disagree with the Bible's messages. Are there some things in the Bible that I do not fully "understand"... yes.

YES, I think Judas got a bad rap. Jesus told him he loved him, but he had a part to play in the crucifixion (forthcoming events) and that he was an essential disciple. In this sense, even Judas was faithful. How could Jesus have fulfilled his destiny without Judas or someone like him? And Judas did repent his "betrayal." He paid the price for his service. But it is not the Bible I have trouble with, it is those who use the parts of it they do agree with to justify their actions or condemn those they judge unworthy. That's God's job.

Since it is a work of fiction, it can't really be argued with in that sense. The problem comes when people treat this book with any seriousness and who then act on it or use it for their own purposes. Sadly, this is what has happened and why we have the world and the troubles we do today.

not really

I do not disagree with anything in the Bible. I am only human and I sin just like everyone else does, but I know I am going to have to answer for it some day. I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and that it is correct and true from Genesis thru Revelation.

Like anything else in life The Bible has the bits you like and the bits you don't. There are many good things in the Bible but there are also many rules that we are supposed to live by that have little bearing on life as we know it today. I cannot believe in evolution AND Adam and Eve, we have contradictions throughout. I do believe in God and in my religion (Catholocism), but even in that there are many things that are not suitable for the world today.The great thing about it all is that we have a choice.

Nope! I agree with everything in the bible. I believe is the word of God and that it is the truth and I would never change anything in it. If God wanted the rules to be different then what he made them to be then he would have created them that way. I believe God's word from beginning to end, not just parts of it that I want to apply to my life, and I don't change a word of it. God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more, but that's just my personal opinion.

Yes, so much that I disagree with that I could never put it all out here. Some moral/ethical lessons I disagree strongly with: - Marry your daughter to her rapist - Women submit to men - The whole concept of Adam and Eve and original/hereditary sin - The idea that a god who orders the annihilation of entire peoples is "righteous" or "holy" - Burn a priest’s daughter if she commits fornication - Support for slavery and/or acceptance of slavery - The wonderful King David rapes the neighbor’s wife, and then has the neighbor put to death so he can make her one of his wives - Lot offers his virgin daughters to rapists at his door, and is shortly thereafter saved as the only righteous man in the city - The wonderful King Solomon had a collection of 300 wives and 1000 concubines - The sons and daughters of Job are mentioned in a list of his possessions that are destroyed - Job is tortured, his belongings ruined, and his children killed because of a wager between Yahweh and Satan - Elisha (a powerful and godly prophet of Yahweh) curses children to die for calling him a “bald head” Well, I can go on and on, but you get the picture. If we are truly going to ban a book for violence, rape, genocide, racist/ethnocentric ideations, sexism, homophobia, and containing magic…this would be the first on the list. The history in the Bible is highly flawed, as well.

I sometimes wish that someone kept writing new books of the Bible, after Revelation, all the way to the present day (or at least until 1000 A.D.) Some documents get lost in history; wherever went the scrolls of Alexandria's Great Library? If important documents like those once in the ancient library can get lost, do you suppose that some verses and books that were intended to be part of the Bible got lost too? Why was there a ~400 year gap between the Old and the New Testament? I just somewhat and sometimes disagree with the fact that there are only 66 books in the Bible, that there was a 400 year gap as mentioned above, and that the last book was so early in history. Why shouldn't an ideal religion keep up with the times? Can you fix your '05 Volvo C70 with Medieval-age tools? No, so how can you deal with abortion, child abuse, pedophilia, mental defects, suicides, racism, and other modern-day issues that the Bible didn't mention, via the Bible? God, I ask that you forgive me if you didn't appreciate what I just said. Fellow users, if you prefer, I'll ask for this answer's deletion if necessary.

I think the Bible is a wonderful historical artifact. I cannot say if it is the inspired word of God. I believe that when any person connects with the divine spirit within they are channeling the word of God. Maybe that's not a popular view, but it is mine. What bothers me most about the Bible is how it is used. Firstly, is that it is replete with contradictions. One sect will pick and choose this bit, and other sects will pick and choose other bits, then they will get into vicious fights over who is right and who is wrong. Much blood has been shed over this book, and I do feel that this was unecessary.

If you name anysection - I can find a disagreement with it.
