Question

Is Bible the word of bureaucratic profiteers of the church, of whom
have no other agenda than achieving supreme power of the masses

Answer 1

Facts speak for themselves.
A person has to be capable of seeing a fact when it hits them in the face.

Answer 2

well the bible is a collection of books put together either by the vatican (the vulgate) or King James the first (the official version.
One was translated and collated by the church, the other by a freemason!
In both cases, it was down to the compiler what was included or excluded from the bible. Many interesting books have been excluded by the powers that be, but these do throw a much different light on God, Jesus and the creation.
Those that say the bible is the inspired word of God, do not seem to acknowledge the fact that romans wanted to maintain power after crucifying christ, therefore creating the roman catholic religion, and King James was a mason who excluded the very book that masons follow. (original freemason) So yes the bible has been collated in such a way as to control the masses (no pun intended!)
However, more important than the bible is understanding its teachings and this aspect seems to have been kept intact.

Answer 3

No, it is clear from history that the opposite is closer to the truth. Many of the writers of the biblical books were martyred, some of them are anonymous; and the actual book itself does not portray anyone in a completely favourable light. If you want to see the difference in outlook, just look at the book of James, where he tells a church off for treating rich and poor differently.
The only way to use the Bible to control people is teach it in a distorted way, and/or not let people actually read it.

Answer 4

Yes and No.

While much is remaining of the truth, some things are changed according to an agenda. Well imagine that there were not scriptures, how are we going to know about the past? Same counts for history books, but in every book there is a measure of truth and a margin for lies and errors.

God would not tie our behaviour to a book, otherwise we are still living by the Law and traditions.

For those who know God from birth it is like this:

I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbour, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them" (Heb. 8:10,11). "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them" (Heb. 10:16).

In this fashion was Jesus born, and many others with a lesser portion of the Holy Spirit of God. Everyone of them knows what is right and wrong and judge accordingly, even those called as adoptive sons.

So the bible is a good source for studies. And the best source for passing down information about a Jesus who showed us how we should be to come closer to perfection. (God is perfect)

Answer 5

The Lord gave us the Bible to teach us and guide us, however, I do belive that others have come to misuse it for purposes similar to that, the thing with the Bible is that it is easily distorted. You can twist it to say nearly anything you want it to say, and so it has been used to achieve power over the masses. Look at the Pope (not the current one but the previous one). I read somewhere that he told people not to look to God for forgiveness of sin, instead to look to him. Yet God is the only one who can forgive sins committed against him. Just like you can not forgive your neighbor for crimes they committed against someone else. However, the Pope was able to convice people of this, and therefore achieving a sense of power over them.

Answer 6

You should read it. It might open your eyes.

Then, at least, you would not be able to ask such an ignorant and foolish question.

Nowhere does it tell you to go to or to support a church.

On the contrary it tells you of your true state, of God's love and mercy and how to close with God personally and come to know Him.

It thereby shows you it is God's word not man's. If anything it will set you free from man and from man's ways and from churches.

How come you have missed all this?





By the way, who cares about peoples's opinions? Isn't it truth we should seek?

Unless of course you don't want the truth and want to run from it and hide from it. Then you will want to strengthen yourself in peoples's opinions.

Answer 7

Nah, read it. Jesus rebels against authority and there are many things about not "following the crowd", it goes completely contrary to your conspiracy theory. The Bible isn't attractive or a fairy tale, it is very disturbing and convicting. It shows the state we are born into, real life and the things in the heart........

Answer 8

beware that you maybe
Being Deceived?
it's plain in black & white.
1 corinthians 6: 9,
Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor sodomites
10, nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers,will inherit the kingdom of God.

the bible MAY WELL have been translated many times.
from hebrew, greek, aramaic, into english, spanish etc etc.
BUT the Message is still the same.

Answer 9

possibly but the gospels were already known by the time it was standardise into a set but the ones chosen could of been for that purpose although i think it would of been the holy roman empiror constantene who would of done that

Answer 10

I doubt it very much.

If it is I think they need to rethink their strategy.
