I dont understand this:
Its been proven that the "bible" was written in the 9th century, well after the coming of christ. during the times of the roman destruction, they destroyed ALMOST all of his teachings and made up their own version. The dead sea scrolls and the 10 commandments are the only documents dating between 1B.C and 2A.D.
So why do people ignore this fact and still live in ignorance instead of truly finding the path to God?

wow i have a pretty good answer for you actually..my answer is from a similar question that was proposed, so some of it might not make sense:
OMG..don't you all see that having so many different versions of the Bible indicates a corrupt religion? Many authors, editors, revisers, 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 deleted or replaced with more peaceful ones so that Christianity could not look like a culprit or evil religion in the future. CORRUPTION! For all sixty-six or so versions of the bible, money is an inevitable thing to be easily made--and with so many different bibles, it is hard to know which one to go by and which different “interpretation” to follow.
An imperfect, flawed religion indicates that it is disqualified as being the true religion.
When you said, "I think people are seeing the question they want to asnwer, not asnwering what has been asked..."
Well, that’s kind of like the Christians changing the Bible into what they want their religion to be like (aka allowing more freedoms, making bad deeds seem less impactful, etc.), not seeking the truth or caring about what is really meant for them.
The Bible was once beautiful, but it was changed and adulterated, and therefore lost all its beauty to the greedy “converters” who wanted to win converts or strengthen weak followers by releasing new editions and versions of the Bible that sounded appealing or adhered to the potential convert’s or weak follower’s likes, and get as many converts by any means--even if it means lying or taking advantage of the situation and circumstances.

I don't understand this either. I would like to know your source.
Since Christ died around 30 A.D. we wouldn't expect any of the new testament to be written before then. We have lots of evidence that the new testament was not changed - I have my source listed.
Jesus quoted the old testament. He did not make any corrections. The Dead Sea scrolls confirmed that the copies we had were accurate at the time.
P.S. I see you listed your source. Thanks. Since most of what we have is copies, we need to make sure that they have not been altered through time. In other words - match the originals. Like I said, the Dead Sea scrolls were a good confirmation that the copies were accurate.
Scribes took their job very seriously. They had special paper and ink used for the Bible. They know how many words were in a scroll and the middle word. When they were done, they would count and make sure it was accurate. They would copy it letter by letter and not word for word.
There are lots of ancient documents that we don't have originals, but we don't question their contents. There are tests to guess the accuracy. For example, how close is our earliest copy to the original? How many early copies are there? Do the copies match?
The Bible does very well with those tests. That's one reason to rely on the Bible.

Shall we rely on such a bald assertion that the Bible is fake?
Without providing any evidence of your proof, I'm surprised you didn't come out and say "It's been proven that there is no God."
The Bible a collection of books anyway, from many different authors. Seems hard to believe that there is some kind of "great conspiracy" which wrote separate books just to make the whole thing appear more believable.
Anyway, what do you make of the books that were not included in the bible? Were those written too as part of this conspiracy? Seems like a lot of work to make a "fake book" appear authentic. Make up a fake council to throw out a different fake book that you have written, just to make it appear authentic.

properly, many people think of it particularly is pretend because of the fact Jesus and God do issues "impossible" for guy to do, like the ten Plagues of Egypt and turning water into wine. one could answer to this "paradox" is that technology has many stuff that it does no longer comprehend besides, like the place a thought is saved, yet technology nevertheless believes that innovations exist. merely because of the fact one won't be able to clarify it does no longer mean it particularly is pretend. yet another clarification why people think of the Bible is pretend through historic inaccuracies. Like while the girls people visited the tomb of Christ after his resurrection, there have been distinctive money owed of who surely visited. you are able to counterpoint this via bringing to gentle the account of Hannibal (Italian conqueror, no longer the serial killer interior the action picture). There are 2 money owed of Hannibal of crossing a river to invade and in spite of the undeniable fact that the small print are distinctive, there isn't any doubt that Hannibal crossed the river. merely because of the fact the small print are distinctive would not substitute the main important factor.

Fred, Fred, Fred get your facts straight.
The Word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder, of the soul and the spirit, the joints and the marrow and is a critic of thought and intent of the heart. All scripture is God breathed and is profitable.
The Word, The Bible - is the mind of Christ.
Christ existed before His physical birth.

The Bible is God's written Word to us.
It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.
“Above all you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21. (New International Version)
Breakdown of the Bible
36 human authors inspired entirely by God over 1600 years.
66 separate books
39 Old Testament
Genesis- The creation of the world, sin, flood and birth of Israel
Exodus to Esther- History of the nation of Israel
Job to Proverbs- the books of poetry and wisdom
Isaiah to Malachi- Prophecy or foretelling of the future events to come.
27 New Testament
Matthew to John - Four Gospels representing the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ now with all authority in Heaven and earth.
Acts- Birth of the Church (The Bride of Christ)
Romans to Jude - Letters to the Churches
Revelations - The ultimate future plans for: The Church, Heaven, Hell, a New Heaven and a New Earth.

I guess so. At first, it was written that it's not allowed to drink alcohol and many stuff but unfotunately, people tore these pages. That's why it's wirtten in the Bible to follow Muhammad(pbuh)

Why does that mean the Bible is fake. There is still plenty to be learned from Jesus teaching. Ghandi thought so, so did Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King Jr. Don't those people show that there is plenty to learn from the Bible.
