In the war between heaven and earth, the devil has been competing. The devil is everywhere. Maybe all the unbelieveable stories in the bible was a product of the devil because he knew humans would grow increasingly more logical. Nowdays, unrealist biblical stories is the main reason people do not belive in Jesus and the bible. Could god be telling me think of my own ways to find him?

I think the devil laughs at the fact that mankind messed that one up without any help from him whatsoever.
(I picture him sitting in the back pews rolling his eyes and smirking during fire and brimstone sermons.)

Though the Bible has been rewritten so many times into different translations, the only way satan has touched it is by corrupting mans interpretation of it. Stick to your bible. Seek the truth and you shall find it. God said he knew who were his servants before the beginning of time. Use a KJV and a New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures. Cross compare the two. Silly stories? Like Noah's Ark? They are still finding sea shells on the top of the worlds tallest mountains. Did you know the bible described the world as round before scientist ever decided to debate that. It spoke about the atmosphere around the earth long before we knew what it was. Everything for told in that book has happened thus far.

As humanity becomes more intelligent they realize that the Bible, God, and the Devil are all just fictional stories that people made-up because they needed to believe in an all-powerful being to explain what they could not. It was kept going for people in power to keep the masses ignorant, obedient, and in line. The world will be a better place when religion is found only in the history books and museums.

Yes,, well no not the devil, but people who wanted to change it
1 john 5:7 is a very good example
go and look it up in the bibles, one bible has scripteral evidence for the trinity the other does not.
Clearly the trinity scripture was later added by people, showing it is clearly possible
The earliest attempt to alter New testament scripture is the book of 'MATHEW' itself. This author copied straight from the book of 'MARK' and added the virgin birth along with a few other ridiculous claims and gave more references to the old testament. He improved the writing style of Mark, and fixed many 'errors'. And made the Jews look worse.

Actually, the original text is still available but has its intepretations, but I tell you this much its not far off. If you're really interested you'll definitely need to learn Greek.
Check this out though...interesting read.

In my opinion, people have doubts in the Bible because they want it to be a novel and its really not. Its a collection of different writings, letters, and instructions from God, Jesus, and his disciples. It seems people always try to twist things so they can think they are all okay even though they are truly hypocritical, and aren't willing to go through the daily walk with him and commune with him and his suffering.
Again, in my opinion, people take Christianity far too lightly in some cases and far too seriously in others. Many religions let too many man-made traditions creep it, making the whole thing completely ridiculous and impossible. Others, have no accountability and end up causing bitterness, hurt feelings and hatred. Maybe someday these factions will be eradicated but for now you must use wisdom and judgement.

It depends. First of all, we know that other books have been written to make it look like it should fit in the Bible, such as the infamous book of Judas, but the Bible we know today is unique in the fact it WAS written with many writers, yet has conformity to it. From what I know, I don't think the Bible was ever touched by the Devil. Good question!

No,..........even if men changed it, and i think certain words have been changed, but not whole stories, if you pray, study the Bible, and accept Jesus into your heart, the holy spirit will guide you, to help you see the truth. The Bible talks about that those who thirst for knowledge, about your eyes being opened, about giving you answers and understanding, either thru love of God or fear of God. I was first won by fear, (after examining the Bible, and comparing it to my life, and the world) because God warns us of everything ahead of time, (prophecy). I realized I worshipped idols, and meddled around in things that were evil (drugs, drunkeness, sorcery like things, that lead to bad things happening in my life) My eyes were opened, and God knows how much truth we can take in at a time. first by fear of God, i gained understanding, and stopped playing around with things that were bad, then as i got to know more of Gods words, I have a love for him, that grows as long as I do not turn away from him. It is all very freeing. I say, Let thy will be done. As for the devil competing, know this, that everything God does, the devil has a counterfit. this goes for false doctrines, false profits, false teachings, false witnesses, false religion, everything. that is why the bible says to test the spirits. If a man is telling only part of the truth, then he is not of God. but you can not test the spirits if you do not read the bible for yourself, and pray for the truth to be in your own heart.

Nope--- The ESSENTIAL TRUTH is still there!
Even the much altered JW and RC Bibles contain enough to tell THE STORY!
1 GOD became a man !
2 HE was perfect in all ways !
3 HE was seen by angels as HE was
originally (THE GOD), and as a man !
4 HE taught the non Jewish ( as well as many Jews) !
5 HIS teachings were (and are) believed by MANY people !
6 HE returned to HIS place - we call that place heaven !
This is The Entire Story required to become
A TRUE CHRISTIAN.

The only thing that works is the question "Could God be telling me think of my own ways to find him?"
Yes this is why there are so many different religions in the world!
