I have read thousands of books. Do you agree the Bible is the worst-written, most innacurate of them all?

Answer 1

Yes, who can actually believe Noah's Ark and all that garbage!? I'd rather start worshipping Snow White and the Seven Dwarves!

Answer 2

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye,
All The Earth and The Inhabitants Therein.The Bible is a CLOSED BOOK, yes, you heard right, a CLOSED BOOK. Unless, of course, you believe that He is, (God exist.).

Wait a darn second! What do mean, A close book? I mean, to comprehend the Book you must be enlighten, receive enlightenment from God. God is a spirit and people which come to God must believe that He is. That's called "faith."

Fellow pilgrims hear me, we as mere morals have finite intellect, finite reasoning and finite comprehension capabilities. We, you, me, all humanity are unable to fully, completely encompasses, understand, and comprehend an Infinite Being. The finite cannot encompass the infinite. There is nothing really difficult about the thing. Ask for understanding and in His time it will come. Oh, by the way, the Bible is the worst-written, most inaccurate piece of writing in the history of man on earth for the faithless and unbelieving soul.

NO

The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version

With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company

IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.

Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.

The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.

The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.

The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.

One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.

The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.

Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.

Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Answer 4

Since you are such a connoisseur of books, have you read Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell? Have you ever done a web search on fulfilled Bible prophecy which by the was has been fulfilled with 100% accuracy, have you used a good study Bible and checked all the cross references and read the references in the foot notes. Have you checked out History and the Bible or archeology and the Bible? Or did you just pick up the Bible and try to read it like a book with out checking details.

Answer 5

No. You could not possibly be more wrong. For you to make that statement proves that you have NOT read the Bible in it's entirety. The Bible is God-breathed, without error, perfect, complete, and sufficient. A popular thing for non-believers to say is that the Bible contradicts itself. The Bible does not contradict itself. You cannot take any line out of context. Not in any written material, for that matter. So why do you think it's inacurate? Can you answer that? How can the Bible be the worst-written book when every word was written by God, Who, by the way, also made you.

Answer 6

I did agree with that until I read the #1 best seller year after year. It's collection of 66 books written by 40 different authours over a period of 1500 years has incredible consistency and unity of theme & purpose. I also read "The Signature of God" by Grant Jeffrey that provided scientific back-up for the bible.

Answer 7

If all you look for in the Bible is bad, that's all you'll find. The truth is the Bible has been proven true and accurate in more ways than one. Two things are prophesies written hundreds of years ahead of time, then fulfilled exactly as written. That is something humans can't know without some kind of divine guidance. Another way it has been verified is by various old scrolls which have surfaced in the last 100 years (like the Dead Sea Scrolls). It verified, for instance, Isaiah's writings.

However, I doubt you want to know about these things. Like I said, you'll find whatever it is you're looking for. No doubt about that.

Answer 8

Nah. There've got to be more inaccurate ones out there somewhere. ;-)

Actually, if you treat the supernatural stuff as just mythology, the Old Testament from about the book of Ezra on is supposed to be fairly accurate historically. In other words, the stuff actual political history of that region may have actually been recorded fairly accurately.

On the other hand, there is no archaeological or historical evidence (the Bible being a book of mythology, as opposed to history) that David or Solomon ever existed. Not a single inscription on a coin or a single letter written by one of them or anything.[1]

Answer 9

You have read the bible all the way through? It is still and always will be the best selling book ever. It is the most reproduced book ever. It is the most studied book ever. And yet the Bible still stands strong. So the real answer is you have never read the whole thing from front to back.

Answer 10

I don't know if it's the worst written because I haven't read all the holy texts out there. But I agree that it's definitely not one of the better ones.

Answer 11

I haven't read too much of the bible. It does nothing for my spiritual journey. It was written by man, years after Christ died. I am sure some of it has worthwhile content, but a lot of bs too.
What about the Koran though? At least the Bible doesn't encourage beheading people of other religions.
I am not a proponent of the BIble, but I am also not going to just slam it either. Christians can be annoying, but they aren't flying planes in buildings.
