If the bible is false, then how come.....?

Question

Jewish people, thousands of years after, still believe that God gave them the bible. They must have been deluded, but how?

But most religions dont claim to have gotten the bible from God, so the fact that they are older means nothing...

Answer 1

Not a very strong argument.
I think maybe focusing on the fact that it has survived for thousands of years despite direct efforts to destroy it, speaks volumes.
One of the answerers stated that by your logic, any preceding religions must be true.
I kind of agree with that argument, but must override it with the concept that the Bible contains records not only of the first religion,(that of the creator, Jehovah), but that it also details the origins of virtually every pagan belief, that originated in the Bible's record of those who oppsed God.

Answer 2

Tribal stories are not notoriously reliable, but if you do not live in a culture that thinks critically and in particular is missing certain important concepts such as risk and natural law, then you get poor explanations. If you look at Misconception Theory in the field of education you will see how very hard it is to overturn patently false beliefs from childhood, even among Harvard graduates such as why it is warm in New York in the summer and cold in the winter. If you cannot overturn erroneous beliefs on that, how do you hope to overturn the bible when it has such strong reinforcers within the culture.

Answer 3

If the bible is false, Israel doesnt exist, and their history gone.

Long story short, its history, secular history backs it up.
And every time archeologists dig up history in the rocks, dirt or whatever, it always matches the bible in its context, if they are looking for said ruins.

Ive been to the Holy Land, believe me, Isreal, its people are there.
The temple is there, land marks are there.

There is one thing you ought to keep in mind,...Gods word never comes back void...whats that mean? It means, what ever God inspired the writers to write via the Holy Spirit, comes true, past, present and in the future.

God does not run on our time line.

If someone says the bible is false, ask them to pin point what they mean...generalizing doesnt stand...base your argument on specifics.

The only ones deluding themselves are the ones that hate the fact that they are to be accountable to themselves and God.
Ignoring God, and his laws, his commandments, does not mean they dont exist.

Accountability is a nasty word to those that think anything goes.
St. Paul wrote, all is permittable, but not all is acceptable.

The delusion game is from Lucifer himself, the former angel that got kicked out of heaven, cause he was looking out for himself...just like todays me society.

Check your facts, and read read read your bible.
Your going to be amazed at how relevant it is to you, today, here and now.

God Bless your journey

Answer 4

The brainwashed Christian answers are typical and their ignorance of this subject is absolute....
The Bible was compiled over many years and it was all stolen from the early Pagan religions of that time...
Even the Koran is borrowed (stolen) from both Jewish and Christian Myths...

Here is 2 books that will open your mind to the past...
God is Not Great (how religion poisons everything)
by Christopher Hitchens....
Christianity the origins of a Pagan Religion...
By Philippe Walter....

Answer 5

The bible isn't necessarily false (There are a lot of good quotes from Jesus); however, it was written by man years after the actual events. Also, a lot of it is taken out of context.

And as far as God giving the jews the bible, well, they probably were. You can't read sense into nonsense.

Answer 6

If your parents never told you Santa Claus was fiction, isn't it possible you would still believe?

Now consider an entire community of people who were never told Santa doesn't exist. If you were raised in this community isn't it almost certain you would believe in Santa.

Same thing applies for religion.


All you need is one person to lie, and the rest to believe. After that the lie will just be perpetuated through time.

Answer 7

WOULD YOU DIE FOR A LIE?
500 people saw JESUS after his resurrection.
and 120 of them..whre baptized with POWER.(acts.1;8, matt.10:1< luke 9:1)
NOW..when SOME of the jews BELIEVE..they became christians.
them who didn't believe..suffered..NOTE..JESUS cried.
saying..as a mother hen..i called you to me..but you wouldn't..and this temple will be destroyed..40years later it did.by roman/gentile). now judaism still exist..because they didn't hear about john the bsaptist was the spirit of elijah that was a sign of the coming of the messiah..they didn't hear about the virgin birth..Nicodemus..recognized the prophecy of Christ Crucification of ps.22, and Isaiah 53..come to bass before his eyes. the zealots,the scribes, the pharisee.were harden heart.where GOD could not speak to them.and miss the REAL MESSIAH..revelation said.they were deeply grieve and cries.when they found out, CHRIST already came..GOd is forgiving.always.a prophecy of Israel rebirth came to pass, in 1948.END TIME began.

Answer 8

Your reasoning is false.

Consider: If your claim proves the bible is true, than all older religions still practiced must be true as well.

Answer 9

First of all, most Jews don't believe that (only the Hasidic and ultra-orthodox do). Second, because some belief is enduring, generally doesn't make it any more valid. Look at astrology, for instance.

Answer 10

They don't believe God gave them the bible you mo-mo. It's the Torah. Not even close.
