Christians do believe many are twisting the word of God to fit their lifestyle or personal beliefs?

We are not bound by the law as a Christian but should we still pay close attention to scripture and the will of God.

If we adjust the scriptures to fit our needs the are we not defiling the WORD OF GOD? Then in essence we become a harlot?Christians do believe many are twisting the word of God to fit their lifestyle or personal beliefs?
I would say even though we are Christians we are still half human and until we go to Heaven we will make mistakes. But in God's sight I am the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ who Loves me.



1Co:1:21: For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

1Co:1:22: For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

1Co:1:23: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

1Co:1:24: But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

1Co:1:25: Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

1Co:1:26: For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

1Co:1:27: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1Co:1:28: And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

1Co:1:29: That no flesh should glory in his presence.

1Co:1:30: But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

1Co:1:31: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
O NOES!!! HARLOTRY!!!1!!111Christians do believe many are twisting the word of God to fit their lifestyle or personal beliefs?
wowser, an echo!
noooooooooooooo.......that never happens.Christians do believe many are twisting the word of God to fit their lifestyle or personal beliefs?
no it says in revelations that no one should add to the book there are serious consequences
Of course they are, why do you think that a large number of people want the Pope to "update" the Catholic religion?
You already asked this.



See my previous answer.
the 10 commandments do still stand .. no where in the bible does God say it is done with .. the law that was done with was the scarfical system becuase jesus died.



and yes people do change Gods word like sunday worship is not the lords day the sabbath the 7th day is ...
I don't believe this practice is limited to Christians. After all, most of the legal profession seems to be devoted to the practice of twisting words to benefit their clients.



In the end, God is the judge of what He said, not us.
If God made us shouldn't he be the one to set the standards of right and wrong? It's like ignoring the fact that your car's manufacturer is saying you need to come in for your ten thousand mile tune up just because you think the car is running great.



He'd never tell us anything detrimental to our health. Like abstaining from sexual relations outside of marraige. Considering the rampant STD's floating around the pool i'm a little scared to jump in.



Besides, rebelling against the standards he laid out is what got us into the mess we're in currently. Adam, Eve, "DON'T EAT IT. DON'T TOUCH IT. WILL SURELY INCUR DEATH" Yeah it went a little more or less like that.



Genesis 3:15-21
The problem with your scripture is that it is open to interpretation of necessity.



The English language cannot possibly relate all of the cultural colorings of the words in the original tongues, and if one tries to impart these in English, interpretation is a necessity.



Anything that exists of scripture is colored by those who translated, and of necessity, interpreted it.



If you assume that what you have in English is the unaltered word of God, then you must, a priori, assume that those who wrote originally were unfailingly led by god, that everyone who copied these until we got to the manuscripts to be translated from were unfailingly led by god, that those who chose the canon were unfailingly led by god, and that those who translated to English were unfailingly led by god. That seems to be a huge assumption.



Then, people make the bold claim that the Holy Spirit will enable everyone who reads it to do so correctly, even when people come away with vastly differing interpretations.



It certainly seems a bit far fetched.
Absolutely, Yes many Christians are twisting the very words of God to fit into their religion they have created. I read most answers here on R%26amp;S and it is just amazing to witness this, but the sad thing is they are ignorant of this fact.

No we don't become a harlot but a heretic (Titus 3:10).

To give you an example, I have been telling many so called Christians here that the only way to be truly born again is to believe in the full and complete atonement for our sins. This is exactly what Jesus said in John 3:5, His water baptism which cleanses us from all our sins, and His blood on the Cross where He paid for all our sins. But do they listen....No!! they reject His water baptism and continue to just believe in the blood on the Cross, even though Jesus told us that we need to believe in both righteous acts (1 John 5:6-11).

All these many people who reject His righteousness like this are still sinners and are standing outside of Christ even though they believe in Him somehow.
Of course the word of God is twisted to serve interests. Put your every-day Christian next to, say, a secularist. Which one, do you think, will have more firm, internalized concepts of right and wrong? The latter will. Because he/she doesn't necessarily think he/she will be forgiven for anything they've done.
It was already twisted from the very start. what else do you expect to happen after that? If any Book for that matter was misunderstood from the very beginning, then what it say in the middle will be confusing and it never end fully understood.

That gave the translators so many twisting answers to a confused mind.
Yes I do think alot of Christians do twist the word of God to fit their lifestyles. Like these polygamists that are in TX. I have watched numerous news reports about them and when they talk they do take the Word out of context and twist the words to fit the wrong they are doing.
That is why it's important to rightly Davide the word. That is one of the reasons there are so many different Denim-nations , it's going and buying a pair of shoes, people gets what fits them, or feel more comfortable. The Bible speaks of false teachers. i know of some preacher"s that preach what the congregation likes to hear, you know, tickle the ear.

God don't like that, He wants His preachers to preach the truth.
YES
Many are twisting the words of the Bible to fit their personal bigotries, while ignoring that which is inconvenient or unimportant to them. Hence all of the people demanding bans on gay marriage yet saying nothing about adultery, picketing abortion clinics but not divorce lawyers. Why do people denounce the "abomination" of homosexuality while they eat pork and shellfish? How can they ignore large portions of the Bible, or claim they don't "count" anymore, then turn around and insist others are set in stone? Have you noticed that for many people God hates the same people they do?
of course, there are religions that have their own book beside the bible. for instance Jehovah's witness and Mormon.

the truth is found in the bible. that is the word of god and there is no reason to go outside of it. alot of people believe if you are a "good person" then you will go to heaven. i guess they never learned or don't believe that you have to be saved in Jesus name. the Jehovah's witness think they can work their way to heaven. it is outrageous what different religions believe. i don't understand why people just cant read and learn from the Bible.
