what about you? do you believe it IS God's word or does it CONTAIN God's word?
I'll only say this. When you see where it says submit to the powers that be,then read where Jesus broke the Jewish laws,or Daniel disobeyed the laws not to pray,then contradictions SEEM to appear. If it's like a traffic law or stealin'or drunk drivin',then these laws are beneficial,but if it's laws bannin' religious freedom or hemp prohibition,then the laws are tyrannical! I like to interpret the prophecies in the Bible,which strengthens MY belief,for example if you read Isaiah;31:5,Matthew;34:32-36 and Luke;21:24 you read about the 6-Day War,June5-10,1967! Or Isaiah;49:20 and Genesis;48:16-19 the American Revolution,or the rise of America(Manasseh)and the British Commonwealth of Nations(Ephraim)in Genesis;49:22-26 and Deuteronomy;33:13-17! Good stuff if you understand and can interpret prophecy correctly!
