Sometimes even as a Christian, I find it hard at times to believe some of the bible stories like how the world came to be and its content,it always a bit confusing and bogus.Do you believe in most of the bible stories?Do you think there actually happened?

Yes, it's true that Bible stories are really confusing sometimes it's really hard to believe all the events that happened that time but I know God has a reason why did he have to make the bible stories mysterious and unbelievable because he said that only those people who believe in him will be saved. So I guess he wants us to have a free will if we want to believe in him or not.

@MALUSE Are you saying the bible isn't written the way it should have been?

@MALUSE I'm not a bible reader nor expert but from what I remember that I've watched from The Bible Series yes it's written by human beings but they just follow the God's words they're instructed to write all the scriptures and their experiences from spreading the God's words.
Can I ask a question? Are you not a believer in God?

I believe that they happened. There are some scientific and archeological discoveries. Like Hezekiah's Tunnel water tunnel, Roman coin discovered in Jerusalem where you can see the face of Julius Caesar on it etc.

The story where Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea is also true. Scientists found more evidence of chariot wheels in the Red Sea.

@MALUSE Mark 12:17 Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him.

I believe the bible. I think it is possible though that the great flood was regional. It is possible that the world to these people didn't extend beyond the horizon. I think this because right into the dark ages people thought the world was flat. I don't see how thinking that might lesson the message or the story given to us by the bible. God is goodness.

If you take the stories literally you will miss the true intention behind them. Read them like parables pointing to truth.

Yes I do. I do not doubt for a bit, regardless if the stories were true or not. For one, it is indeed true that the Bible was written to give us Christians the guide we need in our everyday lives. Second, the Bible is a book wherein it contains all the kinds of genres. Third, it is mysterious that until now made people divided simply because they have different versions of what the Bible is all about. Now, I do not want people questioning why I believe in a book whose contents might not be even true at all. I am after the message, the lesson and the fact that it has withstood time. And in all eternity, the Bible had proven itself. Some self-righteous people just want to find flaws about it.

@augusta123 hmmm... that is a tough question. It may or may, not but to be honest, I do believe in them if we are to emphasize the miracles that Jesus showed.

Yea,faith is all we need but the feeding of the 5000 people story is so bogus to me.
