News and the Bible

“The majority of the Bible does not quote God.”

I tend to watch Fox News for its extremely conservative “spin” on the news; MSNBC for its extremely liberal spin; and CNN for a more balanced approach to news. They are all inspired by occurrences in our world and “perspective.”All relate those occurrences through their perspective and we call it “news.It all comes out pretty much the same, each having the same degree of accuracy and inaccuracy but from decidedly “different” motives and perspectives.

To watch only one will leave you with only partial truth.  Even if you watch them all, you’ll only have part of the truth. No one tells all the news there is to know. None are 100% accurate. If you put together all the words from just these three “news” sources you get – well… a lot of diverging stories – inspired by a common occurrence.

After prayerful and in depth study I’ve come to the understanding and conclusion that the Bible is very similarly a compilation of news stories inspired by occurrences related to God. God has not required that I believe everything in “the Bible” as truth  or that it comes directly or indirectly from Him.

The Bible is a wonderful resource for information and according to your “type” of faith – a lot more.

God requires that I believe Him above all.

“I do.”
