Answer 1

The bible is a book of mythology.

The bible was "written" by unknown people over the period of hundreds of years and was not consolidated into a "book" until the end of the 4th Century.

Answer 2

I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God--that is the Great I Am, by the way--written to guide and advise His people.
First, if it had just been written by a really nice person as a how-to, there are a number of things I'm pretty sure they would have left out. Like all the do's and don'ts, and a lot of the earlier rules about food and cleanliness, which wasn't a big field in those days.
Second, if you bothered to read the Bible, you would see that the emphasis is always on spiritual growth, on elevating the spirit over the flesh, which we all know to be weak--witness the almost universal failure of humanity to stick to a diet. This argues for the author--however removed--being more a spiritual than an organic entity. Which the Pentateuch--first five books of the Bible--clearly states, though that was not a concept natural or comfortable for the people of that age.
Third, there are a number of prophecies made in the Old Testament, that didn't come true until nearly the Birth of Christ. Most notably the one regarding Tyre--which was partially destroyed several times before Alexander the Great tore it down to build a causeway. Though the location is prime land in its part of the world, it has never since been inhabited by people at all, as per the prophecy, since 300 BC. Another is the destruction of Petra, the City of Stone, whose disappearance was so complete that for hundreds of years it was regarded as merest myth, though the Bible clearly mentions both its existence and its hubris. Petra was discovered recently by archaeologists, right where it was deduced to have been, and was in fact, one of the locations used in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Since both of these prophecies were made centuries before they took place, and in the case of Tyre, nearly a millenium, somebody had to know the particulars. Either it was God, or some yo-yo in a time machine. Personally, considering the 'butterfly effect,' I favor the likelihood that it was God.
Of course, as He also warned us, there are none so blind as those who WILL NOT see.

Answer 3

The Bible is a collection of many books written by many authors over a long period. The Old Testament is divided in books of history, teaching and prophetical books.

The oldest books especially, but also later books, were first past on by word of mouth and later put in writing to prevent distortions.

The New Testament consists of the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostels, the Epistles and the Book of Revelations.

Jesus said that we can find The Truth if we search the Scriptures (the Old Testament. He also tried to convey that Truth to his listeners by quoting the scriptures and explaining their meaning, often through parabels.

Other than some original "documents" there is no "proof" as to the authenticity of documents to be written by or for certain authors.

It is possible, however, to test the correctness of these books by living according to their basic teachings and judging the results.

Jesus stated very clearly that the two "first and foremost commandments" are:
to love God… and to love our neighbour – even if that neighbour is your enemy! Those two are the basis for all other laws. Any interpretations deviating from those two are invalid.

One of the hardest things to follow for us imperfect humans is to willingly think and act with compassion and forgiveness towards the “other”. Yet it has been taught by a number of “religions” including Islam.

But the concept appears to us as “not logical”, “impractical” or “unrealistic”. So we find excuses or make “interpretations” or pick more “logical” parts from our holy books to “justify” our actions, and forget about the basic truth.

That’s why we have Jihad and why we had “holy wars” and why we are still condemning and fighting “the others” (infidels or whatever!). That’s also why we have various fractions of Muslims or Christians or Jews or Buddhists or Sihks etc., though they ALL teach the wisdom of compassion and forgiveness.

Just imagine! If all humans would willingly (not because they have been told) act out of compassion and forgiveness toward the "others" there truly would be peace on Earth! - No, I'm not perfect either!

The Bible has the oldest teaching on compassion and forgiveness.

Try it! and judge by the results! You may get to like it.

Answer 4

“The 66 books of the Bible were written on three continents. In three languages. By about 40 different people (kings, shepherds, fishermen, priests, and a physician). Over a period of about 1500 years. On the most controversial subjects. By people who in most cases had never met. By authors whose education and background varied greatly. Yet all 66 books maintain harmony with each other…as if written by one great mind. And indeed it was.” 2 Peter 1 verse 21 “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy spirit” Critics of the Bible have tried to say that certain “historical statements” in the Bible are not accurate but archaeologists have uncovered many discoveries that have proven the history of the Bible as accurate. The principles and the prophecies of the old testament as well as its history holds for us today as much relevance as it did for the Israelites in Jesus day and it blends perfectly with the new testament.

Answer 5

The Bible was written some 2000 years ago by 40 different authors over a period of 1600 years. It is amazingly consistant. Every detail of history is completely accurate, it is the only book ever in history to root itself in hisory and remain without error. The
bible contains more than 2500 phrophesies of which 2000 have already been carried out.

The only explanation for the Bibles consistnt message, historical accuracy, and perfect phrophetic record is devine transcendent source.

You think about that.

Answer 6

The bible is just a story thats all-there may well have been a man called jesus but i think he was a visionary, no one can turn water into wine and feed so many thousands of people with a couple of loaves and fishes. As for god creating earth in so many days and the garden of eden - come on what a load of dog crap.

Answer 7

Bible, I thought it the worlds most boring book till I failed to read Solzenitsin (or something) s Gulag Archipeligo despite several attempts.

Nope the Bible is four pamphlets, Matt, Marky, Lucas and Johnathan, detailing the life of the Jesus dude, sandwiched between a history of miscellaneous Jews who seemed to come down from the Mountain in their Triumph, at least 2000 years before Triumph Car production had even started, and the rantings and miscellaneous and less than hilarious acts of Jesus's mates after he had gone. The four Gospels are the real core of Christianity, and in them we are exhorted to follow Jesus's example, and then relates how he used to gate crash weddings, chuck the money lenders out of the synagogue, and go fishing with the lads together with a few other tales like where his mum forget to book a room in Jerusalem at Christmas and they ended up kipping in a stable.
It has also got 150 or so of the most boring rythm less, pointless, songs known to man the Psalms.
I reckon it needs a re think, chuck the old testament and just keep the gospels and up date the jargon, Mates, not Diciples, and move the tale to somewhere less volatile like Oztrailia.
Anyway for all its faults it sells very well except in Islamic countries where I understand the death penalty for owning one is a disincentive for potential purchasers, The bible sort of gives guidance ,the guidance Jesus wanted his followers to have, love God, Love thy neighbour, forgive sins etc in contrast to the Qur an or Koran which stops you eating pork scratchings and drinking Castlemain 4X and tells you to wipe your backside with your left hand, Christians, lacking this guidance would probably opt to use bog roll (Incidentally who owns the BogRoll trade name)
I dont really care who wrote the bible, but if everyone in the world had a copy it would not make any difference to the author or his descendants as it is out of copyright.

Answer 8

The Bible is a symbolic, not literal history about man and his relations with a God and his fellow man. Man has created many Gods over time because he does not want to die, but have everlasting life. Most wars have been fought over the way we worship this God that man has created. We are only immortal through our grand children.

Answer 9

Douglas Adams once wrote about the Bible. That the missing first page of the Bible was found:
Dedicated to Judy, With Love
All characters in this book are fictional. All resemblence to anybody living, or dead are purely coincidental.

Answer 10

The bible is a collection of stories, fables and folklore written over many hundreds of years and compiled by various people to form a historical religious story of those events through the ages.

Answer 11

The Bible was written by people (several authors), not a person! The books that make the Bible were put together by the Vatican.
