the only reason we have a bible is because some scholars wanted to scare the be-jesus out of people so the could collect taxes on time and gain power. people have an illusion that they are going to be saved. from what? dying, disease, famine? back in the day, people invented idols and deities because they could not explain thunder, lightening, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, titalwaves, locust, and whatever else came along.thank goodness for modern civilizations that can explain all these phenomenons. and for those who have seen the other side...psycidelic drugs do wonders.

I read stuff by Dr. Seuss that makes more sense than the bible, and sometimes it doesn't even have to rhyme.

1. What's your question?
2. Are you SURE?
There is no way to prove that ANYTHING you say is correct. However, you're wrong about several things. First of all, the Bible was not written by a bunch of scholars. It was written by more than forty different people, all at various educational levels, from kings to fishermen.
Secondly, many of those who wrote the Bible were killed for their beliefs.
As for the events recorded in the Bible, all historical aspects (people, places, other events) were recorded VERY carefully. Why would a person record historical events, if all they're going to do is add a fairy-tale aspect?
And no, science has NOT been able to explain away all the events in the Bible. There are some who say that certain things are impossible, but they have not been able to prove that they did not happen. Not one thing in the Bible has been disproven. NOT ONE. For more than two thousand years, people have tried...and failed.

This is an old and very common argument that just doesn't work.
There is no evidence that anyone paid taxes because they were afraid of God. No one who loves God/Christ is afraid...so that doesn't really work. It's only non-believers who believe that we are all scared into believing. As a Christian, I can tell you that is just not true. I do not pay my taxes because I'm afraid of hell...I am afraid of penaties and intrest though...
You are right the pagan God's were frightening. They were always angry, and people were frightened of them. But that is not the God we know and is not what Christ taught.
Modern civilization has not been able to explain all these things. They have made stabs at it...but they have not explained the virgin birth, the resurrection, nor the miracles that Jesus performed. There are many miracles that happen still...that no one can explain. If any non-believers were really interested in finding out the truth...then they should go and see the miracles for themselves. They should go and check it out to find out if they are true...my guess is that you are too afraid, afraid that you will become convinced of God, of a divine perfection that they will be drawn into loving.

John 20:31 - But these are written that ye might believe, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name. Prove that the bible is not fiction, not false but real. Saved from what? Save from sin - read Genesis and then St. John 3 in the bible. The scripture also says: Proverbs 16:25 - There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. What you said seems right your eyes but its not. The bible is real rather you want to believe it or not - and because of your statement doesn't mean that the bible is of no-effect in the lives of many christians who truly love Jesus.

You need to study history. The Bible is the most contested book ever written and it has withstood the test of time. You are confused. Over 500 eye witnesses to the resurrection of Christ and if Jesus could have been explained away, the Romans would have done it. Instead they had to kill the Christians to try to get rid of them, yet they live today. More numerous and more steadfast in their belief than ever before.
I can write a whole book on what modern civilization doesn't know about all of your phenomenon examples. Evolution has been a lying experience of falsehood and confusion.

Supposeth that of yourself?
If I was to tell you that you had a backbone but you did not believe me, does that then mean you have no spine?
If you tell me of a man named Simeon that lived in Germany, thou I have never seen him nor heard him with my ears.Would that mean there is not a Simeon in Germany?

All things Denote a supreme Creator.. All things are prepared for the use and benifit of man 2 lol..or else you would have no house no bed no clothes no soft pillow no computer to type on and no frigging nothing in fact u wouldnt even live very long in your ignorant state if u could of somehow made it this far without a guiding spirit to keep ye from destroying yourself..Ye ought to repent for ye have Reviled even the Great God thine own Father.

Maybe. You can argue anything made by man is just fallacy. Buta true believer cannot deny what his heart tells him. You cant take away strong faith. Do you think the only christians in the world are the ones who have bibles?? Lets say the bible IS fake. There are those who have submitted themselves to God without ever reading a bible (or any book) AND still follow the same christian principles.

The Bible is not a fake one. It is God's Word and message to mankind. It is God's love letter to us. Through the Bible, we learn the way to heaven. Jesus is the way to the Father. Read the bible. It is true. You will know it because our minds are made for the truth and the truth shall set you free. If you read the bible you too will be free from the ignorance of not knowing the truth. Read it while there is still time. God bless you.

Well, since you don't believe you have a spirit, so you aren't spiritual, and you are certainly bashing the christian religion, unless you belong to another religion, you don't belong in this section anyway. Staying in the appropriate sections of YA, so you're not exposed to those of us who apparently upset you by our beliefs, will make us all very happy. You're not even asking a question, just bashing for the sake of bashing. Please feel free to leave at any time.

I'm so sorry that God has not touched your heart. The Bible is not a fake and that is a blasphemous thing to say...John 3:16 (For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son...)...THIS WAS NOT WRITTEN TO COLLECT TAXES. Yes...To be saved not necessarily with the Bible but through the blood of Jesus! Fasting, Praying, Faith, Reading the Bible, Congregating, and Repenting lead to Salvation not from death, disease, or famine on this earth but of our souls for eternity from damnation of the fires of hell which are very real.

Have you read the bible? It was not written within a year. There is no contradiction in this book but from Genesis on foretells of what's to come a thousand years later which is exactly what happened. Yes, I have a hope. Don't you? It all ends when you're dead? How sad is that? Why live and do good, might as well kill everyone. Why do they even have jails and prisons? Where do we get this idea that there is good and evil that coexist on this planet?
