Don't get me wrong. I like the Bible. I've read it cover-to-cover twice and have read individual sections (such as Genesis and Revelation) numerous times in addition. However, I cannot accept it as the inerrant word of God. Part of this has to do with the errors I've discovered therein, and part has to do with God telling me so (though I don't expect you to believe the latter -- hell, it's hard for me to accept at times).
I've come to the realization that most folks worship a book. They do not worship God. They think they are, but they aren't. Their whole existences center around a few hundred thousand words jotted down by a bronze- and iron-age civilization in the Middle East a few millennia ago. They don't seek God; they don't really want to know God. They think they already do.
The Bible was a childrens' book written when civilization was in his infancy. God, like all fathers, wants his kids to grow up and venture out on their own. However, there are some folks who cling to the things of childhood and have become the spiritual equivalent of the 30-year-old loser who refuses to move out of his parents' house because he can't face the real world. Accepting reality is no more denying God than moving out is to deny your parents.
Why are you basing your ideas on what others think and believe. What they think and believe is not going to get you or me into heaven. What I believe about God is not of my choosing. The Holy Spirit worked that faith in my heart. Therefore, if you have an axe to grind go to Him, for it is because of Him that I believe the Bible. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."
