Answer 2

You need to go do some study yourself. How could you trust the ulterior motivated answers your are going to get here? My belief is that it is a fictionalized account of an amaglamation of the beliefs of the time. That doesn't mean it doesn't contain some deeply insightful information. I just recently read the Gospels that didn't make the canon, the Gnostic gospels and found them quite weird, beautiful, and uplifting. I can suggest some reading but it will reflect my own tendencies.

"The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man" by Robert Price

"The Jesus Puzzle" by Earl Doherty

"Who wrote the Bible" by Richard Freidman

These are books that are critical of authenticy and literal/truth interpretation of texts. To be fair you should also read some conservative scholars as well. Josh McDowell comes to mind.

Answer 3

All true, every word. There really was a guy that walked around on top of the water, that fed thousands of people with a couple of tins of sardines and a box of crackers. He really was able to turn dirty dishwater into fine wine. Am I laying the sarcasm on too thick or should I try harder.

Answer 4

First of all, I would advise you to seek God's forgiveness for ever daring to call the Holy Word of God lies at all. Just because you choose not to believe it, does not make God's Word a lie, or any part of it a lie. Jesus Christ said Himself while on this earth, and I quote from the Word of God, "Thy Word is truth." God has never told a lie, and He never will do so. There is nothing ever been written in the Word of God, that He will not prove to be truth to you, if you give Him a chance to do so. One day you, me, and every other human being will stand before God and give account of every word that we speak while on this earth. And I assure you that I do not want to be found guilty of calling God a liar; and I do not believe that you do either. You may think that it makes no difference now, but one day it will make a difference; and that day will not be very long in coming. So I recommend that you seek God's divine forgiveness while you still have a chance to do so. May God have mercy upon your soul.

MY FAVORITE WOULD BE HORUS(the son of the first Holy Mother-ISIS-)THEN THERE'S MYTHRA,AHURA MAZDA etc. THEN YOU DECIDE.

Answer 6

Should not a divinely inspired book for all people contain timeless advice for living? The Bible reflects an understanding of human nature that applies to every generation of mankind, and its principles are just as practical today as they were when first stated. This can easily be seen in a famous discourse given by Jesus Christ, the Founder of Christianity. It is recorded in Matthew chapters 5 to 7. This address, known as the Sermon on the Mount, shows us not only how to find true happiness but also how to settle disputes, how to pray, how to view material needs, and much more. In this discourse, and throughout the rest of its pages, the Bible clearly tells us what to do and what to avoid in order to please God and improve our lot in life.

Another reason why you can put your trust in the Bible is that when it comes to scientific matters, what this ancient book states is accurate. For example, at a time when most people believed that the earth was flat, the Bible spoke of “the circle [or, sphere] of the earth.”% (Isaiah 40:22) And over 3,000 years before the famous scientist Sir Isaac Newton explained that the planets are held in empty space by gravity, the Bible poetically stated that ‘the earth is hanging upon nothing.’ (Job 26:7) Consider also this poetic description of the earth’s water cycle, recorded some 3,000 years ago: “All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.” (Ecclesiastes 1:7, New International Version) Yes, the Creator of the universe is also the Author of the Bible.

The historical accuracy of the Bible agrees with the fact that it is inspired of God. Events covered in the Bible are not mere myths. They are related to specific dates, people, and places. For example, Luke 3:1 factually refers to “the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was district ruler of Galilee.”

Although ancient historians almost always reported only the successes and virtues of rulers, the Bible writers were honest, openly admitting even their own mistakes. For instance, King David of Israel confessed: “I have sinned very much in what I have done. . . . I have acted very foolishly.” That statement is candidly documented in the Bible. (2 Samuel 24:10) And the Bible writer Moses himself recorded the incident in which he did not demonstrate reliance on the true God.—Numbers 20:12.

The Bible has yet another mark of divine inspiration. That mark is its fulfilled prophecies—history written in advance. Some of these are prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. For example, over 700 years before Jesus’ birth, the Hebrew Scriptures accurately foretold that this Promised One would be born “in Bethlehem of Judea.”—Matthew 2:1-6; Micah 5:2.

Consider another example. At 2 Timothy 3:1-5, the Bible states: “In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power.” Does this not describe the attitude of people in general today? These words were penned in the year 65 C.E., over 1,900 years ago!
