If God wanted us to believe the bible why did he make it so far fetched?

Question

Noah's Ark, Adam and Eve, David and Goliath, Sodem and Gamora, the rapture, the second coming.
Why should I trust far fetched stories that ancient people wrote?

Answer 1

God doesn't want you to believe.People who made God up do.

Answer 2

1. Every culture has some story of Noah's Ark
2. DNA has given us a cell that will not divide and they call it Eve the mother of all living.
3. The have found huge mounds containing bones of giants
4. Soddam and Gomorrah like Noah's flood was God's judgment to destroy sin from the land.
5. The Rapture - caught up to meet Christ in the air-can't explain except for what the Bible says because this has not occurred as yet.
6. Second Coming-not occurred as yet but Jesus will split open the eastern sky put one foot on Mt. Olives and one on the sea and a great earthquake will occur in Jerusalem.

Trust far fetched stories - I trust God. I've heard His voice and I know it. I called on Him as He said in Jeremiah 33:3 that He would show me great and mighty things. He awakened me one morning and showed me a great light.

Get on your knees and ask Jesus into your life and tell him that Jeremiah 33:3 says that He will show you great and mighty things and you are asking Him to fulfill His promise. Wait on the Lord and He will show you something in His time.

These interactive yahoo sites are full with the members of Extreme and Radically motivated people . They do not seek the truth but a way to discredit all but the Faith they want to belong to.Notice how they attack other Faiths but always omit any reference to what they themselves believe to be unquestionable. Substitute the word "Bible" in the question for say the Quran == and observe the fall out.

Answer 4

It wasn't God who made the Bible so farfetched, it was the people who revised it. Consider my answer to a similar question:

OMG..don't you all see that having so many different versions of the Bible indicates a corrupt religion? Many authors, editors, revisors, etc. of the Bible only changed/deleted/added verses to appeal to Christians so they would remain faithful (in other words through lies) and to appeal to people who are interested in converting (the same way). Converting through lies and putting in what people WANT to hear is corrupt. For all we know, the all-loving peaceful Bible could have had some ugly verses that were dleted or replaced with more peaceful ones so that Christianity could not look like a culprit or evil religion in the future. CORRUPTION!

I've explained this too many times, and I have a great argument for this, but I'm tired of doing it so much so consider yourselves spared :)

Answer 5

Perhaps God chose me to be an atheist?
— Stanislaw J. Lec, (1909-1966)

You could also rephrase your statement as...

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
— Galileo Galilei

Reason is God's crowning gift to man.
— Sophocles

I find every sect, as far as reason will help them, make use of it gladly; and where it fails them, they cry out, it is a matter of faith, and above reason.
— John Locke (1632-1704)

Answer 6

there is something in there related to the guy who "says of their heart that there is not any God". That individual is categorized as "a fool". this does not recommend an ignorant individual, yet frequently has to do with morals. Scripture has a minimum of three styles of "fool" in techniques. One basically is ignorant, and does no longer understand. This leads to making many ethical blunders, including attempting behaviours that scriptures advise we no longer attempt. the 2nd is one that leads others to persist with them of their blunders. A drug broker or serial monogamist may well be an occasion of this form of fool. The third is one that is particularly-known with the fact, yet comes to a decision to obfuscate, cloud, fog or deny the fact. those are the fools the observe is cruelest with. They mirror with joyous abandon the "spirit of the age", it particularly is a spirit of insurrection against a holy God. that's the spirit of "anti-christ", the very breath of hell. some examples? basically seem around, that is not any longer too perplexing to discover some. they could be as obtrusive as Maralyn Manson or as diffused as a piece of writing interior the Huff Po...yet they're all around us.

Answer 7

"God" did not make the bible.
I do believe that it was divinly inspired, but the ONLY thing written directly by God was the ten commandments.
The Bible is a collections of stories, put togetter as a guid to life.
Most of the fables were written in relation to peoples lifestyles back then, as a way to explain God.
Not to mention, the "Bible" as we know it has been translated THOUSANDS of times!
Plus, some books have been ommited, some have been flat-out altered, and others simply lost.
There is NO WAY you should ever soley believe in one version, of one Bible.
Look around, know history, as well as religion, and you will have a little closer idea of what the Bible really is.

Answer 8

Because it is God's word and we are commanded to read it. It is our road map to life. That's the reason so many people's lives are messed up. They don't read the Bible and try to live their lives the way they want and wonder why they have so many problems in life.
I don't believe the Bible is far fetched, and it is easy to understand.
Why question it of the Lord, He knows what's best for us and if it was wrong He wouldn't have commanded us to read it

Answer 9

I'm always amazed at people who say this then turn around and profess a belief in UFO's and aliens from Altair-4, or something equally as inconsistent. I'm not saying you personally, but I have encountered some real "winners" over the years who remove all doubt as to their mental status.

Answer 10

The characatures written into the bible are actually repetitions of the pantheons of gods that existed in Greek and Roman Mythology. Noah represents Uranus who along with Gaia, conceived the three children: Cronos, Titan, and Iapetus to inherit the earth. In Christianity/Judaism those three sons are called Ham, Shem and Japheth respectively.

Iapetus was the father or Prometheus (Forethought) and Epimetheus (Afterthought)

I beleive in god, but I am not a follower of Religion. You won't see me holding someone else's banner of "God" as they march to war, I see understand and see "God" as I see him. Not how some money hungering thief wrote and ordered me to see him in some stupid (insert "Bible" "Quran" "Torah" etc here)

I beleive shamanistic societies had the ideology closest to the truth when consuming psycadelics and seeing the divine first-hand. I beleive religion is societies attempt to rob the masses of a firsthand experience with god.

That's why these stories are far-fetched. They have to be pretty damned far-fetched in order to scare you into tithing to them, and putting your life and soul on the line for. Trust what you see firsthand, eat psycadelic mushrooms, meditate, talk to god as you see him. Everyone is full of ****.

By the way, to "Purple Aura" doesn't one of your commandments tell you specifically not to bear false testimony?

Answer 11

What's so far fetched? We ARE talking about an almighty God here.
There is nothing too hard for Him.
