Sometimes I actually forget people base their beliefs on this stuff.
So you're one of those that pick and choose from the Bible to suit you?

No.I'm supposed to love all sinners for I am one too.The bible speaks against it and for it. The was a gay couple that god really loved.

I may not agree with you. But know that at the end of the day my faith or choices are not justified by telling you how to live your life, or whether something is right or wrong. You make your own choices, and I make my own as well. I can disagree all I want, but am I supposed to stop you from making your own choices? HECK NO! You live your life, and I live mine. I'm not here to judge you.I'm here to love you.

If you read through the OP again you'll understand what I'm saying is much more than that.

I should really pick up the Bible and read it all. I've only read bits and pieces. At the very least it would be educational

They're essentially the same.it was more of a leading question into if the bible is seen as complete or not
It is complete. It was finished around 100 A.D, so many of the writers of the New Testament were still alive. That gives us something even better: verification.If a false gospel was being preached, the writers of the Gospels or those who read them could say "this isn't true" or "this is true". They could prove whether a text was authentic or not. You probably know about many of the "forgotten gospels" that aren't in the bible. Why aren't they considered Canon? Because they were either proven false by a New Testament writer or someone who knew the gospels, or its authenticity couldn't be proven or disproven but was simply in question.So we have a great sense of accuracy among the Gospels and New Testament books because the writers could call out anything false they came about. They could prove any text's authenticity that made it into the bible.
The books of the canon of the New Testament were written mostly in the first century and finished by the year 150 AD....The Biblical canon was the result of debate and research, reaching its final term for Catholics at the dogmatic definition of the Council of Trent in the 16th Century, when the Old Testament Canon was finalized in the Catholic Church as well.
OP says he loves and accepts everyone.Still gets criticized by the liberals LOLOLNothing will please them OP. Don't even try anymore.
All my views can be summed up in this.
