Especially Revelations and the first 5 books of the old testament. Very negative stuff. Very belligerent.

I think it is a reasonable possibility.
Think of all the art/literature that has stood the test of time. All the artists were on some form of drug. Why is it so outlandish to believe that Moses and the Apostle John were dipping into the wine for cheap inspiration?

The origin of the Bible is God. It is a historical book that is backed by archeology, and a prophetic book that has lived up to all of its claims thus far. The Bible is God's letter to humanity collected into 66 books written by 40 divinely inspired writers over a period of over 1,600 years. The claim of divine inspiration may seem dramatic (or unrealistic to some), but a careful and honest study of the biblical scriptures will show them to be true. Powerfully, the Bible validates its divine authorship through fulfilled prophecies. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever been proven false . God decided to use prophecy as His primary test of divine authorship, and an honest study of biblical prophecy will compellingly show the supernatural origin of the Bible. Again, no other holy book comes even close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its credibility, authenticity and divine authorship.

The Bible was written by men who were inspired by God to write what God gave them. I don't believe that Moses who wrote the first five books of the Bible, or John who wrote Revelation were alcoholics - but mighty men who God chose to use for many purposes. The first five books are mostly made up of some history and the law for the Jews, so I don't understand how you feel that is "belligerent". We have laws today too, but I would venture to say that you wouldn't go down to the courthouse and tell the law enforcement officials that they are negative and belligerent. Have you even read the Bible?

NO! God did, He sent so many messengers to the world among these messengers he gave books four to serve as guidance to mankind. Among these four are:
David...............Psalms (Zabur)
Moses..............Old testament (At.tourah)
Jesus...............Bible (Injeel)
Muhammad.........Quran
In the order of their revealations, the latter being an addition to the former. The first three books were subjected to various adulterations & manipulations over the years for these reasons God sent down the Quran as the final revealation and promise to guide and protect it until man cease to exist on the surface of the earth. That is why the Quran still remain the way it was centuries ago, (only one version) though several attempts have been made (still going on) to adulterate it and on every attempt God exposes it and such Quran is destroyed.
Whenever you are in doubt about something in the Bibble read it in the Quran. They have the same origin, that is why no muslim is a muslim if he does not believe in Jesus(pbuh) and the Bibble.

Interlectaulism is not the way to understand GOD
The Holy Spirit leads you to God
And to understand His words is not simple
and that is where you are not understanding
Seek the Holy Spirit to teach the Holy Bible
And especially John the disciple who Jesus Christ Loved and who wrote the Book of revelation and could not be killed by any form of torture that was used against him trying to kill him even by boiling him in oil he was there reading the scripture inside the cauldron
Do really know John the disciple who wrote the book of Revelation?

The Bible is trash.
The Bible is the biggest load of garbage and codswallop ever written by man, and I’m sure it will go down in history as the greatest load of gobbledygook ever to inflict such traumatic mental and physical damage on humanity, but still today, some people sadly believe the Bible to be true. That’s very sad indeed. Very sad.
When people quote various passages from the Bible, for example ...
Mathew 5:29-30 God encouraged self-mutilation.
Isaiah 13:15-18 God allowed women raped and little children slaughtered.
Genesis 6:11-17 and 7:11-24 God is the greatest mass murder in history.
What happens? Religious people pop up from under every stone with the same old garbage. “That was the old Bible, or we’ve changed the meaning, or wrong interpretation, or we’ve changed the context, or the quotes are out of context or or or, excuse after excuse.”
The fact is, they are Bible quotes, and the Bible is full of evil atrocities which religious people continually cover up, yet seem happy to drum into the minds of gullible little children. This is such a shameful disgrace in a civilised world.
If religious people are unable to apply commonsense and logic to develop a simple moral code to live by, then perhaps they could strip out of the Bible the evil, murders, rapes, abuse, and all traumatic references. Granted there will not be a lot left to read, but at least religious people may end up with a decent moral code to follow based on good, and not scare the living daylights out of innocent little children.

Revelation is belligerent? Where do you get that idea. Revelation is a series of visions outlining world events that would lead down to Armageddon. The Bible was NOT written by alcoholics. Get serious.

ok, it form of hurts to artwork out subject concerns like this. in case you ask a question, and you get an answer you do in assessment to, then forget approximately approximately approximately it! and you had to have familiar which you will get greater beneficial of them with this question! So, No. in case you wrote a e book with that come across, you does not supplant the Bible, because of the reality the Bible is the single AND in user-friendly words e book of God, and that's the single e book i bypass to even have faith in, invariably and Ever.

Well, a lot of negative and belligerent stuff happened 7,000 or 8,000 years ago. The authors of the first five books were just chronicling it.
Our own time isn't much different, by the way.

Well, everybody drank wine and beer, so alcoholics are a possibility... byt primarily, I think it was written by space cadets. You see, in biblical times, rye was a staple grain in the middle east. It has recently been discovered that 'rye ergot', a fungus that grows on stored rye grain, has hallucinogenic properties... like LSD, or 'magic mushrooms'. So, there is a very high probablilty that the bible authors (and 'most everybody else) was trippin', most of the time.

Yes.
My reasoning:-
Before purification of water supplies the only safe liquid to drink was fermented as the fermentation killed the microbes.
Therefore everone drank fermented liqids with every meal.
Therefore everyone, not just the writers of the bible, were alcoholics.
OK?
