Certainly, many people have misused the Bible. And it has also been mistranslated.

But, as you know, we have plenty of trustworthy Bibles which have been meticulously translated. And it is easy to go right to the points at which these separate translations differ and do our own research into word translation, etymology, usage, and context.

The person who made the statement in question about the integrity of the Bible is trying to turn people away from the Word of God. His behavior is as close to blaspheming the Holy Spirit (who inspired the Bible) as I have witnessed in a long time (if ever).

All this whining about suffering is a smoke screen for a litany of anti-God statements and, now, a denigration of God's Word itself.

Discussing the Bible or God or theology with this person is chatting with a demon.

Oh, so now I'm not only "pure Evil" - I'm also a "demon."

Your Faith must be extremely weak and fragile for you to resort to such name-calling on - yes: an Internet message board.

If you truly can't engage in calm, rational debate without endangering your everlasting soul - then maybe you ought to simply stick your fingers into your ears.

It's extremely rare that I address the character or temperament of my fellow conversation partners, but in this case, I'm making an exception.

By literally demonizing me in this way, and then going that "extra mile" to warn other participants to shun me, you have demonstrated a remarkable lack of confidence.

Using the Book; you do have a bit of a point here:

Since Jesus did NOT heal everyone that came His way, He just MUST have been a poor 'god'; allowing all the suffering that was so needless.

So; if He was lack in this manner He (why do I even capitalize that?) surely could NOT have been GOD Himself (As a TRUE god would take care of every one's ills and ails and pain and loss.)

1 John 2:18
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

1 John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist — denying the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3
...but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist , which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

2 John 1:7
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

(These are the only places that the word antichrist is mentioned in the Bible. )
