What if some old peasent decided to write a Bestseller tale about Good Vs. Evil, and he just happen to call it The Bilbe??? And the peasent's only intentions were to get money by selling The Bible.
I have'nt asked a question in a while, so this was all i could think of!!!

I'm pretty sure peasants didn't have the money to write books or buy paper, or mass produce books for resale when the Bible originated. Even if a peasant had, I doubt it would have sold well enough to those that had money to buy books (they would have been very expensive considering paper was rare). The rich most likely wouldn't have bought books written by the poor. The Bible isn't a book about good vs. evil really. The devil is hardly even mentioned. If it is all false and I've lived as good a life as I am living now because of it and nothing else, who's been hurt? If it is true? There's my question to you. It sounds like you've never cracked the cover. You should give it a try. Your questions will sound more informed and enlightened.

You, I, we have a way of verifying the truthfulness of everything we read. Sometimes we need to dig deeper. But there are times they are too open for us not to see it.
When a child knocks thru your door begging some food? Will you give? I guess you would. So whats the truth? Something in you just can't say no. Something in you just let that compassion out for the child. Something in you just love giving the child he needs. You don't have an idea what it is. Then by chance, you read the bible or Koran. You have encountered few verses that totally matches that experience you have with the child. Now you ask yourself is the Bible/Koran telling the truth or false now that you can verify it with your own experience.

First off What If is Fiction.
Second off the Bible is Truth and science is proving it every day.
So is history and historians.
Just recently a discovery was mad with letters that were written to the governors of other provienances of the Roman Empire about this up start man call Jesus. Who you say? Jesus a Jew whom preached peace and Love and about his God.
Nope, What if can’t hold water here.
Jesus was a man and he is God come into flesh to see what Life was like as human so in judgment he would not be mistaken when he judges man. Period. He came to give us life not death.

The bible has been dated by historians, not theologians, to go back to Jerome in around the third century. He was a Catholic priest who put together the book we know as the bible. Many of the books of the bible have been dated by historians to go back before Christ, so a peasant couldn't have written it. Further, peasants tended to be uneducated and unable to read or write. They also were so busy in the fields and trying to stay alive that they wouldn't have had time for such and endeavor. Back to the drawing board!

All I can think of is ANARCHY. People that live by the bible and study it daily would no longer have anything to believe in.
I've thought about this before and this is what I came up with.
People need something to believe in because people need hope. Without hope, they don't care about anything because they think life is just a big waste of time.
Some would continue to live by it and say it is true(as they do now) and there would be others who would feel betrayed.
Who wants to be told not to kill because you will go to hell and know that there is no hell? We would have to find something else for people. Vice versa..who would want to do everything in their power to go to heaven if they knew there was no heaven?

For myself, my life would still be better for my faith. I think of the Bible as the witness of the people of faith who have gone before me, their thoughts of God, their experiences and struggles. So I don't really read the Bible as "true or false." When you read a biography you read about someone's life and maybe your life is enriched. I do give scripture more authority than a biography, so that comparison only goes so far...but it's a start.

If you live by the bible and the bible results to be false you would have lived in a very honour and glory way.
The real question is what if it is true?
Come on, you know there is a God and a Devil.

Well just for the sake of your question, if there wasn't a God, per say,
I would of still lived a better life reading the bible, then without it. God and the Holy Bible has changed me in many ways, and all for the better............

Your conscience and faith will guide you with wath is right and what is wrong. That's a gift that noone can take away from you. Would you believe in everything you will read? You are the judge for yourself because you are equipped with conscience if not....there's must be a strong reason within yourself for what to belive and not what to belive.

I would never be able to belive that everything about GOD and the DEVIL were false because I belive that JESUS died on the cross for our sins and that GOD is our heavenly father. As for the Devil I also belive that he was an angel and that he wanted to be GOD! So whoever is putting this crap in your head don't belive them!
