" I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6)
You'd better learn Scriptures, friend......your eternal life depends upon it.

The bible was written in Hebrew and translated to English by persons of power who used beliefs to control populations before there were actual national borders. Also, do you really think that "back in the day", English was written and read the way we read and write it now? But for some reason, in the 1400's in Shakespeare's time, it just happened to be "different" and then someone decided we should go back to the way it "was"? (ENGLISH AS WE KNOW IT DID NOT EXIST WHEN THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN). The bible was NOT 1 book that was written by many people, it is a collection of scriptures and only the ones that were deemed appropriate by the "people in power" were edited and accepted into this "Holy Bible". There is no better way to have laws that are self-governing than to go right the core and tap into humanity's need to believe in something.

The Bible is God's Word. God Almighty is the AUTHOR of His Inspired Word, the Bible.
All 66 books were written by God's people, prophets and apostles. The Words were delivered to man through God's messengers, His Angels.
It's all in the Bible.
It is ALL true.
Oh yes, even the bad things are told out. Nothing hidden.
Even King Solomon,known as the wisest man who ever lived, fell from grace because he had so many foreign wives that he took up worshiping their gods to please them.

When you read The King James version of the Holy Bible, you are reading past, present and future. After all, The Bible was written by men inspired of GOD! And if GOD inspired men of old, be it far from me to question that authority...And the only reason or way that you will go to hell is, not to ask GOD to forgive you of your sins. And if you choose to go, you will be an intruder into Satan's realm. Hell was prepared for Satan and all his angels, but after sin entered into the world, it became a place for ALL sinners and the ungodly, and that is only the first death. The second death is to be judged and to be cast into outer darkness, and the lake of fire and brimstone, where the worm dieth not for all eternity. My, My, that is a terrible, and horrible thought. Just imagine how merciful GOD is while you yet live, He will save you and you will spend eternity in Heaven with Him.

Hmmm I don't really think so. Historians know that David had humble beginnings, so they still have to answer how a simple shepherd becomes king of an empire......... David apparently did something incredibly to gain attention.
As far as Noah, since every world culture seems to have a story of a great flood, it seems obvious that at one point the world was flooded.

David had a man killed in order to steal his wife; Moses ordered the massacre of thousands, including women and children; Noah got drunk as soon as he grew enough grapes to make wine; Lot had sex with his own daughters; Jacob was conniving and manipulative; Samson had a vicious temper; Elijah cursed some boys and called two bears to tear them apart just for making fun of his bald head; Jesus was rude to his own mother, vandalized a temple, and demanded that people hate their own families to follow him. If the stories are meant to be inspirational, then I am inspired to be the exact opposite of everything the people in them represented. And if they aren't meant to be interpreted as truth, then we can safely disregard them as fables, anyway, and learn to live by higher moral standards.

I believe they were written as real history. Of course, depending on the specific example, some were intended to be allegorical. And, depending on what you mean by inspiration, the stories do have inspiring qualities to them.
God bless.

The Bible is the inspired word of God who is truth.

Is that your assertion? The Bible is a credible historical document, and evidence of many of the accounts in the Bible have been proven w/ archaeology. Not that I needed that to believ them, but it may help you.

Oh another idea to discredit the Bible from another Bible scholar. Why is it that people who have never even read it let alone study it for years think they are such authorities on it.
