What if someone answered all your objections and complaints or questions regarding the Bible?
How would you respond?

lifelover - "How can you answer to creating and killing millions of people?"
He is the Creator. You got that right. The rest is not true. God is love. He is holy. He WILL judge that way.
"How do you answer how the other gods resurrected before the bibles god did it." The devil has always tried to imitate what God does in order to deceive. The devil had some knowledge about Gods plan of redemption before Christ came. They are poor imitations, compared to the power that Christ walked in. Thats partly why he is sooo much more popular.
"Talking snakes, giants, yes please, answer away! " The power of God.

Are you going to ask "God" to re-write the whole thing from scratch?

The bible first started with 3 men voting on which "letters" they believed were inspired of God. Some they liked and some they didn't. They didn't even know the people who wrote the letters so how can they know whether or not what they wrote was, true or really given to them by "God". The answer is, they don't know, they just picked what they wanted and made it into a bible. By the way the word bible means, collection of books. Until someone can prove to me that God really told them to write these letters then I will have to not believe that the bible is "inspired" of anyone.

I've had this same conversation before, where I had my objections set straight and my beliefs were firm, and then some dude successfully shot down all my arguments, answered my questions and left me fairly speechless -- something that is quite difficult to accomplish.
The truth does not fear investigation, so investigate. See if what he's telling you is true. I can save you some trouble: I've already investigated, and the Bible is true.
It is the only book that accurately predicts future events hundreds of years before those events happened, and not vague predictions like Nostradamus, but crystal clear, precise predictions that have been corroborated by other historians like Flavius Josephus and Ptolemey and Pliney the Elder & Younger.
Jesus IS the only person on the planet who ever said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but through me." Every other world religion teaches, "there are many paths to God," but only Jesus says He is the only way.
I could go on for hours, but I won't. In the end, I realised that my choosing NOT to believe was simply a prejudice that I had learned as a kid and had not actually ever studied it for myself, but was relying on someone else's prejudices and I was merely parroting what they had told me.
Good luck in your investigations!

If someone answered all of my objections I would still see the Bible as nothing more than a book. I can write a book today about a being named "Bob" who did everything God did, that doesn't make it true.

I don't have objections, complaints or questions regarding the Bible, therfore I'd like to know this guy. I'm always willing to learn and pick up on anything to sanction the Bible.

That would never happen. And it's called faith for a reason. But the bible is just a book written by humans anyways. A great work of fiction.

It is extremely hard to change beliefs. If somebody believs in something, then they have their reasons and are not likely to change on account of you pointing out faults in an arguement. They can always respond along the lines of "We all have our own thoughts..." I am an athiest and have contradicted many people who have debated me on theological matters, but I do not go around looking for such debates. I think that practice is an arogant, self-rightious act proving how prejudice you truely are by trying to change others.

You can't answer all objections to the bible. First, there are two many to count, let alone form a cohesive argument against. Second, the bible is entirely dependent on faith, you can't proove that it is correct to anyone.

How can you answer to creating and killing millions of people? How do you answer how the other gods resurrected before the bibles god did it. Talking snakes, giants, yes please, answer away!

Look it's not that I dont believe the bible, I just dont believe some peoples interpretation of it. I'm sorry but I dont like to put my faith in something another person says unless I reasearch it and find it to be correct myself.
