no the Bible is not the only source.
it is in you to find the spirit that you are born with.
the Bible is a good referance but those things are things that you have to find on your own.
the most intresting thing about them is that most of it is metaforical.
most are intangable and it is up to you to find them for yourself.

There are many theories out there about those things you speak of but only one Truth. Think about it. On Earth there are absolute truths. 2+2=4. Gravity makes things fall. Green is green and blue is blue. The sun rises and sets. We will all die someday, that is a %100 percent promise. Truths right? So obviously there is only one truth about life and the eternal time that is after.
Some will say that all paths lead to the same thing, but they are decieved. There is one truth. When people die they will either be right or wrong, woudn't you agree? There is either a Heaven or Hell or there isn't. There is great joy and promise and eternal life ahead for Christians or we will just die and there is nothing else. But what if those who aren't Christians are wrong? What if their Gods are false Gods, what if you don't just rot in your grave for all eternity and thats it. What would you say standing before an all knowing and judging God. That will definetely be a humbling and eye opening and sorrowful experience for all non-christian.
My point? The Bible is a Great source for all your answers. It is also the most trusted, tested, researched and accurate book throughout all History. It can be trusted, I promise. Check it out, and you will be pleased.

nope. There's so many religions out there, each with their own set of truths (which basically say the same thing, in different ways), and each has its own sacred texts. The Baghavad Gita is ancient text that comes from India, and it's very good, very engaging. there's also the book called Autobiography of a Yogi, written by Paramahansa Yogananda, a sage from India. There's also the Koran. There's so many sources, that its impossible to name them all. I personally recommend reading the Autobiography of a Yogi. It's a very inspiring book, and he has a lot to say. I find that its almost like I'm reading the book for the first time, each time, because there's just so much in it that it seems one can never fully get everything the first time. You just keep going back and finding stuff you missed. I've heard that from several people who've read it, actually.

The Bible is not the only source of information concerning these things. But, the Bible is the only reliable source of information concerning these things. Only the Bible was directed by God. All other sources are man-made. Yes, men wrote the Bible, but they were guided by God in the writing.

No. Learn as much as you can from many different sources as you can...including the Bible. It will give you a more balanced view. Read books on spirituality; which embrace many religious views. We all contain wisdom inside of us and our answers are contained therein. Sometimes, you must search your own heart and soul for answers that are right for you. It is very important to think for yourself and not always take the word of another...but rather to seek knowledge from many different sources. You will discover there are Universal Laws that apply to all of us.

No, you also have Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter books. Plus you could watch the Pat Robertson show on TV. Or read a lot of Stephen King. Or maybe just talk to anybody you see walking along muttering to themselves. They might be possessed by demons and give you some inside information.

I think the bible is the last source. Hell you can forget. For the other things read the great philosophers Plato, Socrates etc.

Soul searching.........
You do not need anything but the windows to your soul and the doors to your heart open
Many are blind to gods words of simplicity
The eyes are the window to the soul and the heart is the path to the soul
Look within and you will find, turn the light on;)

There are so many different religions on earth. Try the Qumran for example or ask a Buddhist or read about Hinduism or Taoism or Shintoism.
