Would you say that the Bible is "famous" or "infamous" for all the nonsense it contains.And what do you answer

Question

when someone says "What nonsense, give me an example?" If he cannot personally find nonsense on just about every page of the book, is it just hopeless to try to appeal to his intelligence?

Answer 1

It's a good book if you believe in genocide and that women are inferior.

Answer 2

"In 1952, a professor of military history, Sanders, set down three tests which can be used for any historical writing. He named these tests the bibliographic test, the internal test, and the external test. We can examine the Bible with these tests in the same way we would examine other ancient documents.....

Apart from the New Testament, the only other ancient writing which has any level of accuracy associated with it, is Homer. And yet the New Testament has a far higher degree of accuracy than Homer. Scholars universally accept the copies of Homer's writings as being accurate. It is undeniable, then, that the New Testament is by far the most accurately reconstructed ancient document. It passes the bibliographic test with flying colours."


``....Jesus...fulfilled over three hundred propecies (spoken by different voices over 500 years), including twenty-nine major prophecies fulfilled on a single day - the day he died.'' Since many of these prophecies were to do with the place and manner of his death, and even the place of his birth, he could hardly have deliberately set out to fulfil them!....
Just suppose the chance of each one of those prophecies being fulfilled in isolation was a very generous 50%. Then the chance of three hundred such prophecies all being fulfilled is the same as that of three hundred consecutive coin-tosses all
coming up tails: one in 203703597633448608626844568840... - that is, about one in two million million million million million million million million million million million million million million million."

Answer 3

1. Famous
2. The scriptures give more than 1 way to do things frequently. Emphasis is on 'why' not 'how'.
3. No. I will currently also say there are 'tests' given to people currently. Not all people that claim to be 'Christian' have presently in this life 'passed' those tests.

Answer 4

It is not nonsense. You are blind to what I see as truth.

I accept and respect your disbelief. Why do you insist on ridiculing my belief? Why can you not be mature enough to live and let live?

Is it hopeless to appeal to the goodness that I know is in you?

Answer 5

infamous.... it's an enigma so far above people's head no one is going to get it... it serves the devil way more than good and every religion founded on it's belief is lead into unspeakable acts of evil...

Answer 6

It is not nonsense. It is the word of God. God does not stutter and He does not lie. Every page is filled with love, adventure, excitement, joy, history and hope.

Answer 7

No. But evolution is mostly perpetuated in the American, English, and German circles. And used to espouse racism. Hitler was one the most famous.

God bless

Answer 8

Well the Bible clearly states that a lot of the things it contains will not make sense to those who are not saved christians so who are you to say that it does not make sense. It makes sense to me.
