The Christian MUST live by faith!

“Faith is the substance of things hoped and the evidence of things unseen”.

Let that one sink in.

They do some kind of weird dance and spin and use circular logic. They use the words as "proof" that the words are true. 😑

Yes, it's a collaboration of writing by human, in order to share with the future the collective origins of all

Nicean council, yo

Wouldn't alter my faith at at all, since i am not Bible based in my belief in God.

All the bibles are a farce. Pastafarianism is as helpful. The number of varying bibles is in itself evidence that it was not writ or inspired by a god but by man (and I do mean pecker-people as religion is not for women's benefit).

Just from an third person perspective, you have put science on a pedestal and see it as an infallible God, which makes you blind to the first rule of religion and spirituality that it cannot be proved in a lab. It is only understood by personal experience which is why no amount of discussions or debates will help this cause

I think this is mostly a problem for Biblical literalists, which not all Christians are, and something more common among American evangelicals than Christianity at large. The Bible can be the inspired word of God while still being written by men, compiled by men, and showing the flaws of having been written by men. Biblical literalists become obsessed with details to the exclusion of the larger messages contained within.

So if that is the case does that change the fact that Jesus did not do the miracles, died for humanities sins, rose from the grave, and answers my prayers?

People can do whatever they want to do with the word of God, we have no control over that but they'll answer for their actions on the day of judgment. It's important to not only know the word of God but to also see him at work in your life. I experienced his work in my life earlier this evening. There's an online meeting that's supposed to last 9 days which began Friday. Last night it happened that while I was in the middle of reading the teachings on the group the network completely disappeared and I couldn't receive anything from the group till today. Same thing happened again today an hour before the service was supposed to start. I started praying asking God what was going on and why he was letting this happen and then I remembered that Jesus gave every born again Christian authority then I started telling the network to come back and guess what 2 hours later it came back. Tell me that was a coincidence.

usual responses are just bible quotes, followed by insults and eventually block you on social media so they can return to there echo chamber of fellow Christians.

Also it seems the last 12 verses of Mark were also tacked on later.
