What about the Bible

When it comes to the Bible there seems to be 3 primary views. One is that it is just a book similar to any other book. This view is easily dismissed with the question if that was an accurate notion then why is the Bible the only book that the elites and progressives are not only okay with banning but lead the charge to do so. Think about it! Now let's take a look at the other two views. First the view that Bible contains the word of God and is a good guide for knowing God and getting to Heaven. This view allows that the person reading the Bible needs to see and interpret what they are reading in light with what they think and modern culture. In essence they are also god and their views are more important then what God has said since He has not allowed for changing with the times. Their concept of God is that He is limited and needs their help to figure out modern society. They understand better how people can be "happy" and need to control their own lives, without a lot of inconvenience in attending a lot of church services regularly or other negative drains on their time and resources. This group do not actually believe the Bible needs to be revised since it is fluid and God really does not mean for it to be taken literally. (Good luck on that - maybe you will get God to admit He was wrong and you are right after all.) The other view is that the Bible is the Word of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof and instruction in righteousness. It is unchanging Truth and is intended to show us how to be born again into the family of God through faith in Jesus Christ His son. Jesus died to free us from sin and show us how to live changed lives for the glory of God rather than our own. If I do not like what the Bible teaches I have choice of changing to comply or denying the Truth. What is your view on the Bible - is it the word of God or is it a book you pick and choose which parts you feel are the words of God. We will each answer to God for how we obeyed His word.
