How many people honestly believe that?

Question

The Holly Bible is the word of God? If in fact this was the word of God, why are bibles sold in stores? If it was the word of God, shouldn't every person in the world get a piece of the cake for every bible sold.

Here it is, there is NOTHING on this earth that gives anyone an explaination of God and how we all came about other then common sense things such as trees, water, and life itself. But then you have this "book" that "suppose" to explain everything to someone, and I really think it's sad that peple follow the norm when they honestly don't have a clue. It is my belief that the "bible was created for world order and that's it." If God wanted us to know everything we would see it and know in many ways and not just a book that didn't even exist 1000 years ago when there wasn't language or paper and ink.

None of you were even alive a 1000 years ago so you don't know anything. I'm not saying that God isn't real, I'm saying that the "bible" isn't. I know that I have a higher power, my soul tells me that. If the bible was real it should be evident to everyone and it shouldn't be some many different religions.

People use God through churches to get peoples money, bottom line. If people wanted to praise out Lord, they don't have t do it in a big air condition fance church. If you love the Lord and want to praise, you should be able to do it in 100 degree tempature. But whatever.

If the stories in the "bible" were real, why hasn't ANY of those type of events and miracles being performed today. What was so special about people back then compared to now.

Maybe I didn't go back far enough in time by saying a 1000 years ago. But it just shows me how little you know that you would quote me on that, when the moral of the question was, there was a time that people existed and paper and ink didn't.

Answer 1

Thumbs up to you Nico! I finally heard from someone with some sense! All the others are like brain washed robots, all they ever do is quote the bible, and can't answer anything without (bible statements)! Again, thumbs up!!!!!

Answer 2

Your thinking is very narrow, you need to thing outside of the bun. You are comparing everything with yourself and what you think and that leaves you very limited. Bibles are free everywhere, I give them away all the time and Christian groups are dedicated to placing a bible in every home in the world in their own language. Why do you think that 1000 years ago people couldn't write. without even looking it up they had the old testament scrolls in the Jewish synagogs. Move away from McDonalds and Burger King and get off to Taco Bell and a journey south of the border. I will give you a free Bible in spanish.
I can see that it is going to take more than this to get you off of the big macs and onto something real. Do I have to have lived 1000 years ago to prove that there was paper and ink or language?? Take a deep breath and go at it again. You must have missed out on a lot of school and I don't think that I can type enough to get you a diploma today.. Have a Big Mac w fries and relax no tacos today.
Just one more thing, I am building a sizable church here and I will put in A/C as Gods people don't have to prove to anyone that they are forced to stand in the heat. we will if necessary..

Answer 3

The Bible's contents may or may not have been inspired by God ... but the actual words themselves were chosen by man and the works deemed "acceptable" for inclusion into what we know as the Bible vary significantly from one Judeo-Christian denomination to the next.

What I find most amusing ... in the time of the New Testament man believed the Earth to be flat ... the sun, planets, moon, and stars revolved around the Earth along plates in the heavens ... fire, water, earth, and air were considered the basic building blocks of all matter ... etc. We've come a long way ... man has observed and answered these (and many other) questions not provided by Christianity's holy book ... and yet so many still cling to the primitive thinking and deduction provided within its pages.

Then again ... nearly every magazine and newspaper in the United States carries a horoscope section in every issue. Perhaps the problem is that people are afraid to not believe in these silly, unfounded notions.

Answer 4

There wasn't paper or ink in 1006? Are you actually saying that? Wow! Perhaps you should have thought this through more... What good is a god that does everything you expect? My God is so unique that the very thought of someone making biblical stories up is obsurd, obscene even. Here is something to ponder, why would 11 guys go around and preach to people that some carpenter had risen from the dead? They even did this under the threat of death. Hypothetically, say there isn't any free speech and the government could kill you if they didn't like what say. would you defy them, and continue telling people that you saw a man rise out of a grave? It makes zero sense!!! Hope this makes you think just a little.

Answer 5

Niko,

It is my belief that the Holy Bible was, in its original state, the word of God; however, it is also my belief that it has been manipulated over time by the hands of man. Nevertheless, you should not be dismayed--there is something on earth that gives any sensible, thinking human amazingly precise explanations of God and "how we all came about."

Let us examine the Qur’an more closely. Starting with the content, could the knowledge therein have been within the reach of any human source, i.e., the Prophet Muhammad, his contemporaries, or the whole human civilization and for several centuries ahead? How could a book revealed at that point of history refer —in precise terms—to scientific phenomena and historical events—prior and subsequent—that were unknown or misunderstood before their subsequent verification?

These Qur’anic references cover such wide spectrum of topics as the nature of space, relativity of time, the shape and motion of the earth, the role of mountains, water for life, the water cycle, the sources of rivers and groundwater, sea depths, embryology, hygiene and proper health practices, prophecies fulfilled (after revelation), etc.

For example, the Qur'an specifically details how man is created:

*{ [We] then formed the drop into a clot and formed the clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators! }* (Qur'an, 23:14)

Embryology is the branch of science that studies the development of the embryo in the mother's womb. Until very recently, embryologists assumed that the bones and muscles in an embryo developed at the same time. Yet, advanced microscopic research conducted by virtue of new technological developments has revealed that the revelation of the Qur'an is word for word correct.

It would literally take multiple books to expound on the scientific miracles witnessed in the Qur'an simply due to the sheer volume; the limited manner in which I am presenting this write-up cannot alledge to give this matter its full worth. Please visit the following links for more detailed information on this subject.

Answer 6

God made us to enjoy life and to spread his word. The Bible was written many many years ago and that is what we have to live by. Everything is explained there on how we should live and treat others. That is all we need. We aren't supposed to know what day and time Jesus is coming back. We shouldn't be worried about that. We should just accept Jesus and follow the Bible. It is simply all we have recorded from Jesus' time but it is enough to live off of. Jesus did much more than what is written in the Bible but God had his disciples write the Bible and he told them what to write so that we would know how to live, etc. God doesn't force you to believe it and you have a free will to either do what is right or what is wrong. It's your choice. But those who make wrong decisions will pay in the end. All good come from God and all bad things come from the devil. That's just how it is. If you're saved you go to Heaven and if you're not you go to hell. There is no in between.

Answer 7

i agree with u for the most part how ever when it comes to the bible it has a lot of flaws with in it. there is a book called 1001 contridictions in the bible you can find this book in many book stores. how ever there is a book that explains all and i believe it to be the holy quran. there is a book called verses from the quran and it's contributions to science. in fact there are many books today that show science from the quran. the quran is unlike any other holy scripture out there. the quran gives detailed descriptions on how humans were created, how the earth is round, even conception. if u like i could send links on it if u would like to know more but here is just one. as far as a book to describe god considering we are the creations of god we are not to know everything. god is superior to us. we are supposed to listen and obey gods command just like a child is to obey their parents. most parents offer no explination for their children when they forbid their children to do a certain thing or force their kids to do something they don't want to do. this you can apply to god. we might not agree with all the rules because we do not feel it is necessary to do so but it is what god commands us to do. god gave us the free will weather to follow gods word or not to. i would have to say to read all about the religions. do not get frustrated because the answers do not come over night and choose what u feel most comfortable with. even if u choose not to believe in god that is soley up to u. well take care

Answer 8

Niko,
When you've settled down a bit, click on my name and go to my site and spend some time perusing my answers to the many questions asked. You might be in for a big surprise. My answers, are candid, valid and to the point. For example:
Of all the many religions in the world: Christian, Muslim or otherwise, which one is the right one? Answer: None of them. I became an atheist when the 'bible' became clear to me. And trust me, I do know what I'm talking about. I have no fear of death because I understand where I came from and where I'm going. I have no need to have the dogma and rituals of organized religion to tell me about what they perceive to be the 'Truth'. They, have a long journey ahead of them before they grasp the light. And, before this happens, they must first remove their blinders and look about them instead of straight ahead and missing all the scenery.

Answer 9

For me, I didn't really understand that you could actually get to know God. It was way to far fetched of an idea . I mean what the hell would God want with me . I was a bad *** most of my life, and well... just another average joe.
But the words in that book just kind of jumped out at me and, it was the most awesome thing I've ever experienced, I couldn't believe what started taking place in me, and in my life. I couldn't explain it and I guess I still can't . But one thing i knew 4 sure was that I had welcomed God into my life and he was surely taking control of it......!

Answer 10

If you want to learn about the Bible so that you know whether or not it explains everything here is an excellent website. If not, then someone else will get some benefit from it.

Answer 11

Any person who really believes in and has faith in God, such as the one spoken of in the bible (without all the violence & perversions), does not need a book, preacher, priest, holy man/woman, interpreter, or any other form of intermediary.

And anyone who claims to be such a person (intermediary or interpreter) proves he is not by making such a claim.


Humans invent Gods in their own images so whatever they claim is true to them, but it has no applicability to anyone else.
