Answer 1

I Vegasian 4:23 And the harlot fed him sweet wine, that had been drugged.
24 And the 911 call was placed with urgency
25 And foundeth they him, in the bathtub. Lo, with ice all around.
26 And he cried out with fury and sayeth "Where be my kidney?"
27 For it had been taken

Answer 2

If people knew what scriptural typology was they would know God is directing their lives. If people knew about the DEAD SEA SCROLLS they would know the Bible, for its age, is pretty accurate. If people knew that Jesus Christ fulfilled over 300 prophesies concerning him and that just fulfilling 50 of them gives an astronomical odd of 10X135 power then they would know it is humanly impossible for such an event to occur without God's divine intervention.

If anyone has doubts, the History Channel has some interesting shows concerning how the seemingly miraculous events in the Bible could have occurred by natural means. Quite often the "miracle" actually rests in the timing of an event. There is a lot of truth to the saying, "Truth is stranger than fiction." I think this is why some people don't believe.
Jesus Christ and all of the characters in the Bible are historical characters not fictional. People who deny their historical existence are just ignoramuses.

Answer 3

What makes you think of that they have got been myths, legends or thoughts? What in many cases happens is a typical rely of different perspectives on an identical experience. I see a rescue and make contact with it a miracle. you spot an identical rescue and fact on how fortunate to have the properly suited human beings interior the properly suited place on the properly suited time to drag it off. To you it fairly is explainable. To me, I see an excellent form of little issues that all and sundry got here at the same time and ascribe that to divine intervention. So it fairly is with the Bible and different scriptures. it fairly is a history of activities that truly befell yet being informed from a non secular attitude. The writers observed those activities as divine intervention while the worldly human beings clarify all of it away. faith is all approximately faith. in case you have not have been given faith or attempt to describe faith rationally, without faith, then you fairly lose the full essence of religion.

Answer 4

I think that's a good description. It's a collection of fables, parables, legends, and myths. There is a mixture of true events, fabrications, and exaggerations. You know how a true story can be told and retold until it doesn't even resemble the original story. I think it shows how ancient cultures felt about their place in the world, and it was used to explain the mysteries of the universe.

Answer 5

If you were to take your Book of Urban Legends and try to track them down, you would be unable to find historical confirmation for them.

So far every attempt to track down confirmation for the events, people, and places of the Bible has been successful.

If you can find confirmation of a story, then it is not a "legend", it is a fact.

Answer 6

Sure. Who's to say some of the stories aren't satirical? I don't buy the claim that people 2000 years ago didn't have a sense of humor.

Answer 7

People have been saying for 2000 years that the Bible will soon be obselete and yet it is still the number 1 best selling book of all time.

It contains hundreds of prophesies that have come true and they attest to its divine orgins.

Answer 8

If you mean by saying legend you mean the Truth-then, yes! =)

Answer 9

For people who don;t read the Bible and understand it, probably so.

Answer 10

Yep, I think so. Because it's man made. And man lie all the time. Just ask the Catholic Church
