If you dont believe the Bible becuase it's written by men?

Question

Why do you believe the constitution?It's written by men, is it not?

You dont believe the word of the creator;but you'll believe the words written by creation?Is it just me or does something about this seem backwards?

You believe books from men and women who are scients;but you refuse to believe men and women of the true and living God(Jesus). Does this not seem odd to you?

Sense when did it make more sense to have more trust or faith in the creation over the creator?

It would be like robots having more trust in faith in other robots instead of the human(s) that created them.Is it not the same?

Romans 1:25-Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Answer 1

The Bible is different than the Constitution. The reason I don't believe the Bible is because it has been translated over and over, many words being literally lost in translation. After each translation, one would add more to it. It was being translated so much, it was up to a point where most of the Bible was made by man. I'm not saying it's unholy, but the Constitution can not be placed in the same context as the Bible. Politics and Religion are two farly different things.

Answer 2

You must have read my answer to WWJD's question, "Why do people believe in evolution?"............

So, let's start with the first question, shall we? Have you noticed the difference with the Constitution of the United States and the Bible. 1. The Constitution was written by a group of men attempting to set up governing guidelines, not to tell a story of epic proportions. 2. I don't recall anyone mentioning that if we don't follow those guidelines we're not going to be welcomed thru the gates of heaven. 3. Government today is so far off base from what the Constitution originally laid out, that it is ridiculous.

Next, "You don't believe the word of the creator, but you'll believe the words written by creation?" I'm curious what you actually mean by that entire question, because it doesn't make any sense at all....

OK, moving on........
Those men and women who are scientists have facts and studies to prove anything they write in their books, and if they do not, it is called a theory.

Do please explain yourself with "faith in the creation over the creator" You really are confusing.

Answer 3

1. God did not actually write anything, did he?
2. The books of the bible have been identified with who actually wrote them.
3. The constitution does not claim that it knows who is going to hell.
4.Science has facts as proof that can be seen and touched.
5. There is no proof of any "creator".
6. ARE YOU A ROBOT CREATED BY A BOOK?
7. The bible is not proof of any God, nor is it proof that it is the "word" of God'.
8. Did you even think about how stupid this question really is?

Answer 4

Because the men who wrote the Constitution were not claiming to have inspiration by a Divine figure. They gathered together and debated each and every point of the Constitution and its ramifications upon this country until they were all happy with the final draft. And they gave provisions to change the Constitution as the people see fit. The Church claims that the Bible is "The Word of God" and hasn't changed and cannot be changed. I don't believe in absolutes and no truth is eternally correct for governing people.

Answer 5

That sort of comparison makes no sense.

The constitution doesn't exactly claim to be divine instruction, does it? Further more, the for/against issues of the constitution don't really have so much to do with belief in men or creation as agreeing with the laws laid down in them.

I feel the two ARE similar, however, because I believe that the books of the Bible, much like the contents of the Constitution, were written by religious men and I think that *both* were inspired by God-- but only indirectly.

I think the Bible is a swell story and a book of many logical morals, but I don't think it's God's direct, word-for-word dictation. Obviously you do, my friend, but I sincerely doubt you believe in practicing every single morsel of Biblical direction:

"If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity."

Yeeeah.

Answer 6

What a poor question. People 'believe' in the constitution because it seems to be a pretty good outline for a government. Arguably the best yet concieved. People don't claim that all sorts of strange and magical things happened at the continental congress however. Get it?

Oh, and those robots would do well not to trust us.

Answer 7

I told you already. You can't quote from your holy book; that means less than nothing to people who don't believe in it already.

And the constitution doesn't make claims about the past which contradict known facts.

Before you ask us to believe "men and women of the true living god" you must prove there is such a thing.

In short, I'm sorry to say, you're a poster boy for the dangers and stupidity of circular logic.

Answer 8

I don't 'believe' the constitution. I agree with the principles it outlines. I know the men who wrote it, at least in the historical sense. I know their motivations, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they existed.

The deity described in your bible is unprovable, and frankly, if he exists as described, he's a homocidal, genocidal, infantocidal, hateful, vengeful, spiteful deity who is powerless against iron chariots (seriously -- he flat out tells the Hebrew people that's why they lost a battle).

In short, the deity in your Bible makes no sense at all.

Further, I don't trust a lot of scientists. In fact, I've demanded to duplicate their experiments for myself. For example, I was given an opportunity to personally run the Miller-Urey experiment while I was in college, an opportunity I jumped at and went through excruciating decontamination protocols to ensure that the final analyses were valid.

I don't trust a book, I don't trust the words of anyone. I trust logic, and where the logic is uncertain, I trust personal experimentation.

Answer 9

well let's see the constitution was written by men without any claims of a higher being the constitution doesn't condemn anybody to hell or anyplace else or by any higher being who hasn't been proven or disproven and the constitution was written by men and benefits everybody instead of just the people who wrote it as for the bible the bible just like any other text or scripture was written by men to control the masses of men and women and children and to manipulate them as well and can be twisted to meet any body's point of views way more then the constitution can and the constitution is the best form of law then any religious text or scripture as it is unbiased towards everybody unlike any religious texts or scriptures

Answer 10

words dont mean a damn thing unless one gets the whole picture. Im a pre-law student, and have read the constitution several times. That does not mean i understand every word in it, but i do understand the point of it.

the same goes for religious text. I have never seen the unseen, but i still recognize that even though something is impossible to see, it can still exist. Perception is the mother of deception. Our eyes decieve us.
