Why do we keep getting these stupid questions on the bible from : people that don't read it, don't research it ,or just want attention in some form.Listen lonely person if you don't want to believe than don't;but don't use other people for an excuse.The Bible first of all was mostly translated in third person.If you bother to read other forms of the Bible it wording is different upon what religious order did the translation.Plus the Bible is not one book it is many diffident books written by diffrent people and civilizations,that have all concur on one subject.In the Bible there were doubters just like you ,and were changed by actully wittnessing miracles first hand.That is probby why people believe dumb ***. Also there were a set of scrolls found near the dead sea that also concurs most of the event in the Bible.Scietist for years have been spectulating and trying to solve the Bible and they have not.The best example to date ie The Davinci Code which probbly caused your *** to write this. P.S. Get Bent

Not to mention the FACT that most of the sections were written 10 to 20 years after the fact. AND that the "Scriptures" were put together about 100 years after his death BY A PAGAN who converted to Christianity less then an hour before he kicked it. He ONLY did that because THE FAD AT THE TIME was moving toward the "Christian " direction. Here is food for thought. Why is it that most of the "SATANIC" or "DEVIL" references reverie his Jewish people?? There organization has been around a lot longer. Not to mention the Pagans. Also why is it that " seeriers" were allowed to "see the future" when "GOD" told them? I think it was cause they didn't want to die. Maybe I am just a sinic or a realist. In all those years with all the modern conveniences and such. Human nature has never changed. They just have new definitions of what they are called now.

The Bible is not written by one particular person. It is written by many different people that ends up telling the same story. If you go through the different books of the Bible you will see how things occured from a different point of view. Just take the time to read it and maybe you will understand a little more.

The bible is a mix of literary genres - creation and origin mythologies, histories, psalms (songs and prayers), wisdom and proverbs attributed to Solomon, sayings of the prophets, and then gospels and epistles in the New Testament.
While it is the "word of God" in the sense that it is the record Christians believe God wants us to have of mankind's salvation history, it is not necessarily the word of God in the sense that God dictated first-person rhetoric to Moses and St. Paul, who promptly set it down.
We hold that God inspired the text - it has become what he wanted it to be. But the first person encounter Christians have with God is through Christ. Christ is more central to our faith than the Bible itself is - the Bible is a record of that encounter, but is not itself that encounter (the way the Quran might be in Islam.)

The Biblical scholars agree, almost in unanimity, that the NewTestament we possess was compiled by third persons. In it is included the Gospel. This Book is apparently a Biography of mylord Jesus the Christ... this statement is very close to Muslim belief about the New Testament.

You can either choose to "believe" or not to "believe" any body of literature in the context it was written', no matter if it was written in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person.
If it's evidence you seek in order to believe, then the Bible "can" if investigated in an unbiased fashion, provide hard facts as to it's veracity.
If it is not a question of faith but based on provable facts, then it becomes "what you know".
The Bible is a book of provable fact, science and history while other sections of it require..."faith" regardless of what person
it's written in.

It is amazing how many non- Christians jumped on this question, for someone who does not believe and could care less, you all sure spend a lot of time worrying about what was written, what Jesus said, did,etc. If we spent as much time trying to insult, enflame, ridicule, and offend atheists as you people do Christians, we wouldn'thave any peace at all.

The bible was not even written by anyone important. Jesus didn't write it. Neither did God. Plus there are so many versions and has been rewritten thousands of times and each person adds their own perception and translation.

Grandma Susie seems to have a handle on this one very well.
But in answer to your question,,, WHY NOT believe the Bible
when it is in the third person. Does verb conjugation have any
thing to do with the way a person postulates his or her belief
system? Clue me in here.
