The bible seems to have a finger on some short term 100BC-200 human history events. Does that make it divine?

Answer 1

the B.I.B.L.E. is sacred and divine. its the greatest book ever writen. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. live by it, die by it.

Answer 2

The Jewish Torah which Christians refer to as the Old Testament was not translated from Hebrew to Greek until around 300BC. During the next 6 centuries the book went through many transitions in the hands of Jewish and Christian religious scholars. The oldest book of the New Testament of Jesus Christ can be dated to no older than around 200AD, and it also went through many changes until the Roman Emperor Constantine the great (280-337) ordered the Bishops to assemble the books and close the canon during the latter part of his reign. The Latin Vulgate wasn't compiled and edited until the 4th century, and the King James in the 16th century. The collection of phrases and books came about slowly, was re-written and revised by human hands many times for centuries, and there are still many different versions that vary from one to the other. However religious authorities have for centuries spread the myth that the Holy Bible was translated and written directly from the word and hand of God, and have persisted with this myth up until the present day.

By the way, The Holy Bible got it's name from the Greek city of Byblos where the oldest continuously occupied temple in the world was located. The Greeks called any religious papyrus Byblos which came to mean holy book, hence "The Holy Bible".

So, what's my point... well just that hindsight is 20/20, and the truth is, there are no truly infallible or divine books.

Answer 3

No. (I guess you must mean the New Testament, not the Bible. The Old Testament covers events much earlier than 100BC.)

Answer 4

Actually, most of the predictions made in the NT seem to have been fulfilled in 70AD with the destruction of the temple and the Jewish Wars.

Do you have some examples?
