If God did exist and he approached a devout Christian and said that 90 percent of the bible was false would the Christian believe him?

trick question the REAL God would NEVER say that. It's what He and (Jesus) told the various people who just wrote the Word down said. So God/ Jesus told them what to write. The other chosen people just wrote it down

God asked Moses to let him go back against the promises made to Abraham. Trick question, perhaps, but God would still expect an answer.

Hunterdude; you need to get with the times. In 1981 it was proven that the grand canyon formed in a short time with a lot of water. Example: when Mt. Saint Helen erupted in the Washington or Oregon one of those states the found within weeks they had several canyons many miles wide and deep had been formed; there goes the theory of little bit of water and billions of years: it is actually a whole lot of water and a little bit of time. Evolution is losing ground, no pun intended, fast.

I'm pretty sure you'd naturally take God's word for it if it came straight from His mouth as opposed to being written by humans.

God and Jesus TOLD the humans what to write down. If it wasn't to God's standards then It wouldn't exist today. or it would have been re-written. :)
Report as
I think in history the bible has been re written quite a number of times and has ended up like a chinese whispers scenario where the real meanings of the story's have been lost and forgotten.
Report as
Just because it's been rewritten dosnt mean that we just say "bob, give it a go, whatever you write, that's what we'll say is true from here in out!" translations are done in a room with thousands of translators and the original books, nothing gets written without an agreement from everyone in the room as to the validity of the translation of every word, nobody is just guessing and writing stuff down, not that those types of books don't exist, but the king James version is the one most of us follow and it's translation took years due to the precise measures they took for accuracy.

if the world was in complete destruction, because christians believe he wont come back untill then, if they had a dream, the new was from god, they would think it was the devil, because god says in the bible it is true. about 5% of the bible is n/a because jesus came back other wise.

It depends on how it is brought up. If God said 90% of the revelations of God's character in the Bible are false, then I think God would be testing us, wanting us to take him to Exodus 3 and Exodus 34 to show him that he truly is a god true to his word. If he approached us saying 90% of the Bible was metaphor, and only 10% was history, I think he'd expect us to believe him. I think a lot of Christians wouldn't though, just like many Jews didn't/don't believe Jesus.

The bible is one of God's ways to prove he exists. He is TRUTH. He would never say that anything from himself was a lie. Your asking questions that hold no realivance.

I would not; as the Bible tells us when He returns he will NOT set foot on the ground. So if some one approached me I could not believe him.
It is written:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I find it funny how no other religion is placed in the same hypothetical situations here on ask. But in essence, isn't that what happened. Christians believe that Christ (hence the use of the word Christian) is the fulfillment of religion. For example, the law said not to eat certain foods, Jesus changed that. So to answer your question, yes, I believe if God said you have it wrong; no mater who the audience was (Christian, Buddhist, atheist, and so on), we would listen. God bless

If we knew for certain it WAS God then sure we would believe Him. We'd believe Christ too, if He apoeared and told us the same thing.

I can tell you now that a true christian would not believe it. The reason being they would know that it was an impersonator because that happening doesn't fit with scripture in the Bible. God has made sure of many things, all things that we should know and promised us that He will keep us and He does. He cannot lie. And for this to happen (what you mentioned in question), and it be God, He would have had to lie, which He cannot do. So, no, I would not believe it nor would any other true christian.
