There are very few that accept the Bible as it is written.
Many think that there is something wrong with the Bible and it is their responsibilty to correct it. Calvinist are famous for changing the words in the Bible. Anytime that it says "World" they will add the word "Elect" if they didn't do that their doctrine would fall apart. There is nothing wrong with the Bible. There are a few minor discrepancies, but they are not related to the Gospel. I fully accept what the scriptures say and I would hope that you would also.
The Bible does not support Calvinism or Catholicism or any religion. The Bible is about Jesus Christ and his Gospel. The Bible is NOT a Christian Torah about how you should live. If you need written instructions about how you should live, then you may not be a Christian. Paul said that the law (Written instructions) is for sinners, the lawless and the disobedient. 1 Timothy 1:9, 10.
Those that are void of the Holy Spirit, who is the Christians guide, need instructions. It is a serious matter to be in conflict with what the scriptures are saying. If you don't believe the Bible, what are you going to believe? Are you going to believe John Calvin? Are you going to believe the Catholic church? To reject what the scriptures are saying is to call the apostles liars. Either accept all of what the Bible says or reject all of it. But don't grap a scripture here or a scripture there and try to make a doctrine.
When the scripture says that "Jesus has tasted death for everyone" Hebrews 2:9 and you say that is not true, you have just called Paul a liar. When Jesus says, "I have come to save the world" John 12:47. and you say that is not true, you have just called Jesus a liar and have placed yourself under the judgment of God. You might be better off to believe in no God at all than to be constantly calling that apostles and Jesus liars.
Paul wrote, "All scripture is given by the INSPIRATION of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" 2 Timothy 3:15, 16.
When the apostles wrote the scriptures they were writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of truth, John 15:26, was telling them what to write, as they heard they wrote. There were no mistakes as some of you seem to believe. I consider the Bible to be a very accurate book. It throughly and perfectly reveals Jesus Christ and his Gospel, which is its purpose.

his own declaration, that he had glory with the Father before the world was, and that he worketh together with the Father, are equally inapplicable to man. These and similar properties must be specially assigned to his divinity. Again, his being called the servant of the Father, his being said to grow in stature, and wisdom, and favour with God and man, not to seek his own glory, not to know the last day, not to speak of himself, not to do his own will, his being seen and handled, apply entirely to his humanity; since, as God, he cannot be in any respect said to grow, works always for himself, knows every thing, does all things after the counsel of his own will, and is incapable of being seen or handled. And yet he not merely ascribes these things separately to his human nature, but applies them to himself as suitable to his office of Mediator. There is a communication of "idiomata", or properties, when Paul says, that God purchased the Church "with his own blood," (Acts 20: 28,) and that the Jews crucified the Lord of glory, (1 Cor. 2: 8.) In like manner, John says, that the Word of God was "handled."
