We have to study what was 'chosen' for the Bible. Of course, we are free to read outside of the Bible which can be helpful for historical context.The Bible was organized and chosen by men.
We don't HAVE to do anything. I'll be the first person to say there are excellent lessons to live by in the Bible but an open mind, eyes and spirit are critical. There are things you "can't no know" and ultimately, your relationship with God is personalWe have to study what was 'chosen' for the Bible.

I really doubt anyone reads the Bible for amusement (with the exception of fictional character Alex from Clockwork Orange).Some like to study the Bible on a deeper level, even just for their own amusement.
Some of the mistranslations are amusing because if you don't laugh, you'd have to cry.I really doubt anyone reads the Bible for amusement (with the exception of fictional character Alex from Clockwork Orange).
Oh, I have read some. KJV is a hard read for most people but some of the more recent/modern versions are just as hard a read (but in a different way)Some of the mistranslations are amusing because if you don't laugh, you'd have to cry.
The modern versions have the same mistakes as the KJV.Oh, I have read some. KJV is a hard read for most people but some of the more recent/modern versions are just as hard a read (but in a different way)

Your Bible is boringGo away.
You don't have to read it, you know. Glad you're immersed in it, though. Pay attention to it.Your Bible is boring
Wow, 3 fallacies in a couple sentences.The Bible was organized and chosen by men. So, depends on if you believe in men or God. Catholics believe they are the ones ordained to give Godly truth and the Bible is a tool to substantiate that. I believe your relationship with God is personal and is neither necessitated by the Bible or Church, however, both can be vehicles to have a better understanding of God if you have a discerning spirit.
Recently learned something new about this passage. Today we read it as the Gates of Hell on the offense against the Church, and that offense will not prevail. In earlier times it was read as the Church being on the offense, and not even the gates of hell will stop the Church. Found that very interesting.Men of the Church, about whom Jesus said 'The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it"
There is never in the Bible that choice because God chooses men (the Prophets) and Jesus is even stronger against your position "HE who hears you hears ME "
God has protected the Bible to a large extent, but not fully. There are errors, some incidental, some deliberate. God has also hidden some stuff that requires serious study to understand. Also noteworthy is that the Bible is the history and the prophecies concerning Israel, and the church. It is not the business of anyone else.Wow, 3 fallacies in a couple sentences.

The Bible doesn't substantiate anything there was no common access to it for over 400-500 years of the Christian era
Considering that the KJV was written prior to the discovery of text that were older than manuscripts the KJV was written from, the KJV is not the best version.Thanks to Strong's Concordance with Greek and Hebrew Lexicon, the KJV remains the best study bible version.
Yep. I don't read anywhere in the Bible, that Jesus said Christians need to read and believe in the Bible, nor do I read in the Bible where the Bible says that one needs to believe in the Bible. But, here we are.The Bible was organized and chosen by men. So, depends on if you believe in men or God. Catholics believe they are the ones ordained to give Godly truth and the Bible is a tool to substantiate that.
