I debated with myself about whether or not I should start this thread. To a Christian strong in his faith questioning doctrine brings deeper understanding. For people who have not developed a relationship with the Almighty, it might cause doubts. I think for people to have a more vibrant faith it is good to question your beliefs because it is truth that sets us free. The question I pose is, what validation do we have that the Bible is 100% flawless? What proof is there that anything other than the prophetic books are written as fact based documentary? As well, why is every other ancient text, although similar, wrong? I have looked far and wide for knowledge and understanding. I have spent hours in prayer asking God Himself to explain things, and the answers I received do not match up perfectly with most people's accepted views. In most cases it's not that the text is wrong, it's the interpretation.
