if the bible 's veracity was put to the test in a court of law, does it go free, or hang by the neck til dead?

Question

i can see it swinging in my minds eye right now...

Answer 1

The Bible is hearsay. That's not valid in court, and there is no evidence external from it to support it apart from even more hearsay and non-verifiable anecdotes.

Schwing!

Answer 2

If I were the judge or member of the jury I would ask for the results. What has the Bible brought us in a positive or in a negative way? What are the lessons of the Bible, what is its meaning? we should go for witnesses on the part of the Public Prosecutor and of the part of the defense. It would definitely be an interesting trial. I suggest we have the trial of the Bible's veracity, and also submit other sacred writings, like the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, the I Ching to the same process of law.

Answer 3

One of the first internal evidences that the Bible is truly God’s Word is seen in its unity. Even though it is really sixty-six individual books, written on three continents, in three different languages, over a period of approximately 1500 years, by more that 40 authors (who came from many walks of life), the Bible remains one unified book from beginning to end without contradiction. Another of the internal evidences that indicate the Bible is truly God’s Word is seen in the detailed prophecies contained within its pages. The Bible contains hundreds of detailed prophecies relating to the future of individual nations including Israel, to the future of certain cities, to the future of mankind, and to the coming of one who would be the Messiah, the Savior of not only Israel, but all who would believe in Him. There simply is no logical way to explain the fulfilled prophecies in the Bible other than by divine origin.

Then there are external evidence ... Because the Bible details historical events its truthfulness and accuracy is subject to verification like any other historical documentation. Through both archaeological evidences and other written documents, the historical accounts of the Bible have been proven time and time again to be accurate and true. In fact all the archaeological and manuscript evidence supporting the Bible makes it the best documented book from the ancient world.

No matter how its opponents try to attack, destroy, or discredit it, the Bible remains just as strong, just a true, and just as relevant after the attacks as it was before. The accuracy which has been preserved despite every attempt to corrupt, attack, or destroy it, is clear testimony to the fact that the Bible is truly God’s Word.

So a court case can be made for sure! In fact I would love to see one!

Answer 4

The Bible's veracity is proven absolutely flawless! For those who would say the Bible is not the Word of God, or that the Bible contains numerous errors I would say this: Paul could say in 2nd Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God." That's the Greek word, "theopneustos" meaning "God-Breathed." Every single word was given from God to 40 different men, and 2nd Peter 1:21 adds: "for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." Now that was the Old Testament. The New Testament wasn't in existence when Paul used these verses. He was telling the churches in his letters what had happened in the past, but in John 16:12-13, Jesus talked about the coming of the New Testament. He says, "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come."
That's the New Testamant. And we can say with John 17:17, "Your Word is Truth." Today, we have 66 books written by 40 different individuals on 3 continents covering a period of 1,500 years and there's not one mistake, regardless of what some of the critics say. They haven't studied God's Word enough to know the truth. Among the writers we had kings, poets, philosophers, prophets, scholars and fisherman. And I want you to know we have all of the Word of God today. Someone says, "Yes, but we don't have the original manuscripts" Who said so?
We have copies totalling 24,800. Now, how do we know that they're right? Well, if you take 20 items and you compare them and 19 state one thing and one doesn't, then the one is in error. We've got 24,800 manuscripts that exist today to compare one against another and we have another 80,000 quotations from the church fathers, enough to put the entire Bible together with the exception of 11 verses. Take the 80,000 quotations from the church fathers and the 24,800 manuscripts for a total of 104,800 and you have all of God's Word dozens and hundreds of times. This is so because God's Word is literally flawless. After computers have compared millions, or even billions, of letters in analyzing the 104,800 manuscripts the texts are basically flawless. So, don't listen to the critics. The Bible is God's Word without error! Read it; learn it, live it; love it; be changed by it!

Answer 5

Matthew 12:36 - But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Can you see the fire and brimstone and the worm that never dies also?

Answer 7

Let me introduce you to Truth and Metaphor.
It goes free.

Please re-read it with wiser eyes.

Answer 8

It would be prosecuted on all charges--it lies---it's moral standards are deplorable-(fancy having to stone your teenage offspring to death for back answering you!!)--it's God is guilty of ordering murder--genocide--abortions-(by cutting open a pregnant woman's stomach with a sword & dashing the fetus against the rocks).It's God orders that if your wife is not a virgin on her wedding night--stone her to death--just check out these links to see how despicable this Judaic/Christian God really is!!!

Answer 9

I can see it swinging and choking until it turns totally blue. With a jury of 12 members, 13 of them would declare it guilty of deceit and fraud.

Answer 10

I think it gets nailed to a cross until dead. Then a spear in the side to make sure. Then when the final judgment is handed down from Thee God all knees will bow and every tongue will confess that he is Lord and his judgment is just. How will you do?
