why bible is not a logical book?

Answer 1

Logic is one way to understand something, but not the only way. I don't LOGICALLY love my wife, for example.

The Bible isn't LOGICAL, but it does have truth in it. Much like the Qur'an, the Bagavad Gita, and other holy texts.

Answer 2

why question is not a logical question??

Seriously, though, the Bible really is a logical book. It doesn't contradict itself. I had someone give me a long list of supposed contradictions, and you know what? The reason they seemed to make no sense was because the verses were taken out of context and completely misunderstood. You have to look at the Bible as a whole, and you have to dig deep sometimes to figure out the meaning of some passages. The real reason why people don't understand the Bible is because it is Spiritually discerned. If a person is not born again, they will not have the Holy Spirit living inside of them. And without the Spirit's help nobody could understand the Bible. Once you are saved, though, it becomes more and more clear.

Answer 3

Because the human mind, without the help of the Holy Spirit cannot make sense of what is in the bible.

Answer 4

For one thing Joshua stopped the sun.

For another Jesus rose into the sky and became a god.

For yet another, Adam and Eve had a talking snake.

Also, God turned the Nile River into blood.

These and many more stories can be found in the Bible.

Answer 5

Each story in the Bible has a plot.

Answer 6

Jesus was a fraud, who if he performed any miracle at all, was empowered of Satan the Adversary, to test the Jews and see if they understood the prophecies. Those who followed him, including Christians and the so-called "Messianic Jews" are those who failed this test and were led away from G-D.

http://www.jewsforjudaism.org list the hundreds of prophecies Jesus failed to fulfill.

Jesus was NOT a member of the tribe of Judah since he had no biological father (according to the Bible).

Jesus did NOT directly descend from David through Solomon, patriarchally.

Jesus did NOT gather all the Israelites and restore them to Israel.

Jesus did NOT rebuild the Temple (in fact, it FELL shortly after he allegedly died).

Jesus did NOT rule, let alone at a time of world-peace.

Jesus did NOT rule, let alone at a time all Jews everywhere kept perfect observance of the mitzvot.

Jesus did NOT rule, let alone at a time when all peoples everywhere would know and acknowledge G-D alone, and serve him in perfection.

Further, contrary to Christian claims Jesus will fulfill the prophecies at his second coming, why did he not do so? Jesus died, Jesus went elsewhere. Then Jesus returned and hung out for 40 days. As such, Christians are waiting for a THIRD coming, not second.

Worse still, there is not one single prophecy in the Old Testament that the Coming Messiah will fulfill the prophecies in multiple comings. They are quite specific that he gets one lifetime to do them, or fails the test.

Gemma:

The curtain did not tear in two.

If your Bible cannot get such an important fact correct, well, then there isn't much point discussing it.

Further, I'm not Jewish. They aren't my scriptures. But the Old Testament does set the rules for the Messiah, and since Jesus didn't pass the test, he isn't the Messiah. You cannot retroactively reinterpret the rules of the game to suit you. That's called cheating.
