I want to know what others believe about the Bible. Meaning I want to know if you think it should be taken literally. I want everyone to post their thoughts about this. I don't however want you to bash others because of their comments. I will delete any comments that bash someone else for their thoughts. If everyone posts something I should have a very wide view. I have friends that are conservative Christian, Liberal Christian and some are agnostic, even a few atheist. Myself, I think if something is repeated in the Bible then yes we should take it literally.

What Church Will Be a Good Fit?
I was lucky enough to be raised in a Christian home. I lived with my Grandmother until I was 8. During that time we attended Windsor Park Church of Christ. I guess you can say this is where most of my beliefs come from. After the age of 8, we attended a Methodist Church. My mom had remarried, a Methodist minister, so that is why we changed denominations. Do any of my current beliefs come from the Methodist thinking, some maybe? I have yet to find a denomination that I totally agree with all beliefs. I guess I really never will either. Maybe the way I interpret the Bible is all wrong, maybe not. No one will really know until we meet God.
So here is a basic breakdown of my beliefs. I have decided to go more in depth of each belief in latter blogs. I know that some of these may offend some out there but please remember these are my beliefs and feelings on what I have read in the Bible. I may be wrong or right. As I said before we will never know until we see God.
- Women are to be submissive to their husbands
- Women should NOT have authority over a man
- Women are NOT to be leaders in the Church
- Women CAN teach young children in the Church
- Women are to be Keepers of the home
- Husbands are to be the Head of the home
- Infants should not be Baptized
- Marriage is between a Man and women only
- Homosexuals should NOT have leadership positions in the Church. They should be allowed to attend just not have a leadership position.
- You should not have to Apply for membership to a Church
- Older Women should Teach younger women
- Communion should be every worship service
Of course there are more and some of these will interconnect. I will group them together as I write more on each one.
