Hey Christians, you do realize that the bible is NOTHING more than an old book, right?

Question

There is nothing to show that this is anything more than fiction. Besides centuries of brainwashing that is.

And if you can't, at the very least, admit that this MAY be true, YOU ARE BRAINWASHED!

Answer 1

Hey bronco you do realize that you are in violation of Yahoo Answers Guidelines 1.h.

- to vent your frustrations, rant, make statements, or otherwise violate the question and answer format.

Answer 2

You couldnt be farther from the truth. Do you really think that some ordinary guy could just make up the bible. Of course not. It's too complex. And b/c of this it took 40+ men to write the bible thru god. Also, how do you explain how the bible has been a best seller for so many years in a row and is known literally everywhere around the world. No sir, youre wrong the bible is real and true. Maybe youre the one who was brainwashed into thinking otherwise. May I suggest that you pick up a copy and start reading b/c you may be sorry later.

Answer 3

It made these predictions and many more:

A. Four world empires to arise: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome (Daniel chapters 2, 7, 8).
B. Cyrus to be the warrior to capture Babylon (Isaiah 45:1-3).
C. After Babylon's destruction, it would never be inhabited again (Isaiah 13:19, 20; Jeremiah 51:37).
D. Egypt would never again have a commanding position among the nations (Ezekiel 29:14, 15; 30:12, 13).
E. Earth-shaking calamities and fear toward the end of time (Luke 21:25, 26).
F. Moral degeneracy and decline of spirituality in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

Answer 4

Maybe this will help you.

The Bible is a first person written record handed down from generation to generation. Those that study it believe the testimony contained therein. There are unrelated writings of historians like Josephus that correlate some of the events in the written record.

To this day we have a written record of the events and people involved in the American Revolution.....and it is accepted as fact because the written record is multi-sourced from those actively involved and those that were alive at the period, yet no one denies the Revolution took place, or the existence of George Washington even though you weren't there and you have NEVER spoken to
General Washington you accept his existence as fact.

Look at the life of Alexander the great.....you fully accept his existence as fact based on ancient writings...

Why is it such a stretch for you to accept the written record of the Bible?

Answer 5

The only one's who are brainwashed are the people who don't belive. "Faith" is the important word. If you actually read the bible you would see that all the propecy's are answered. I will not go throu them because as I see you won't belive. Your'e gonna start beliveing wether you want to or not when some day God comes and you end up in a place of torment for ever. If you don't like these answers, then don't ask anything.

Answer 6

1st Corinthians 1:18 That Old Book is a lot wiser than any logic you can come up with . If it is fiction , there isn't anything that can come close to it . Even the miracles of modern technology can't hold a candle to it . You need proof to get any normal christians attention .Matthew 12:36 Be careful what you speak , you will be judged by every idle word you say .

Answer 7

The Bible stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

Answer 8

Yeah and that old book claims it will exist for ever and ever.It says the words written in the Bible will never go away even though heaven and earth WILL pass away-so says Matthew 24:35.Spooky thought ain't it?? But it also makes you feel safe if the next life is all good,since the Bible is a gentle book.

Answer 9

The Bible is a old Book, true. But it is a old Book with many wise words, not all are real but many metaphers inside. Metaphers where in those times and locations where people couldn´t read and write very usefull to keep the morality.

Brainwash is the Qoran!

Answer 10

yeh, who would believe that some old book that has been carried down for centuries from church to church could get so many followers? i mean look at all the other brainwashers? and where are they at now? and look at all the people that builds and builds more churches... i guess they are brainwashed also... is there any other brainwashing group that has been carried down as far as this? waco? no , the guyana thing? no.... hmmm imagine that.... i wonder what the percentage of believers versus nonbelievers are.... i have taken science classes where my professors were god fearing men.... wonder what that says... i'm a believer for one.... no one brain washed me....lol....

Answer 11

There are many many many many sources for the Bible and versions of the Bible, but all in all, They say the same thing. I am not brainwashed, I'm faithful, and I would rather go through life believing there is a God and die and find out there isn't, than go through life not believing there is a God, then die and find out there IS!
