    i think like all religious books and etc the bible has been misread or altered by the religious head for their own good. religion does not suck...the people running it do.

    I think that there is much of the work of God in the Bible, and for the most part, I am grateful for and humbled by the direct quotes from Christ in the new testament.
    Further, I don't think that there is any book that has so influenced the world as the Bible has for so many thousands of years. The Jewish Faith, Muslim Faith and Christian Faith are all founded on the old testament texts, whil Christianity has adopted the New Testament, that has influenced and impacted the world as no other book ever has.
    I am concerned that I so often find what men have written in the New Testament is in such conflict with what Christ actually taught us. I think that most religions (Christian) are a pale reflection of what Christ taught, and there are very very few that I trust with their 'interpretation' of the Bible.
    In the end, I think it is a Holy book that people should absorb into their lives in their own way and in their own time.

    It is actually a compilation of ancient writings of which 20% were actually chosen for the work by a commission from the Roman Emperor Constantine. It was used for centuries by the state controlled church to manipulate European populations. It actually consists of mythology, ancient law, poetry, letters, and various "stories" which probably reflect a distortion of history.

    the Bible is written by what is termed inspired ones in the faith , some were messengers of God or Prophets , parts of the bible are a collection of things found in old scrolls and notes , left behind from the past and over the years carefully assembled by scholars and scribes and people of the faith thorough the ages , so that we the people can come to the understanding of a creator of Heaven and earth and even grasp the concept that he loves us , and promises eternal life to those that believe in his word .
    I myself will stand by my testimony that i have heard this Gods voice for real and believe the bible to be true.
    Hearing his voice is one of my stories here on EP , read it if you wish , well , bye for now

    If you think, you know its a myth.

    I mean, they are lovely parables, but it is so self-contradictory, that it cannot actually be true. Plus, it was written well after the event supposedly occurred, older religions employ many of the same archetypes and even the events (such as the great flood), and then it was a political contingency that decided what went into the bible and what was left out.

    i think it's real, but i find that the most difficult thing is to live my life with a constant acknowledgement that it is real. If only I could do that, then I could probably stop sinning because the Lord would always be in my head. But, unfortunately that is not the case, nor will it be the case until after I am risen.

    Ok, since everyone else is being a smartass here is my answer.

    Yes I do know that bibles exist, so they are not a myth... Damn trolls...

    Any hoot, the contents of the bible however are complete bullshit. Ask a mathematician, there is a section where they claim that pi is exactly 3. Whereas anyone with a secondary education can tell you that it is an irrational number ie, 3.1415926.....
    The reason why the bible gets it wrong is because it is not the word of god, it was written by men in living in the stone age who could not have the techno-sociological means to understand the world as we do today. Although nothing in this world is completely certain, mathematics is the closest thing to it. And the bible can't even get that right. The bible is bullshit, and anyone who believes we should live by it belongs in the stoneage.

    Math does produce certain answers. However for every answer math finds, another question is produced. Your example is proof. This particular "answer" to the question "what is ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter" has not been resolved. The attempt to answer to this question has been carried out to over a million digits, with no end in sight. In the applications that we use pi in, as long as we take it the same part of the answer we have figured out t every time we use it in that application, the exact number of pi becomes irrelevant. In which case 3 is just as good as long 3 is the number used every time that application, as 3.1415926........ You can use 3.14 if you need a tighter tolerance. or you can take it out to 3.1415926 and even further you want or need to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter will closer to being resolved. But is is still not answered.

    As I stated before mathematics is the closest to certainty that humans will ever get. I never said it was certain. Your argument does not justify the bible's validity in any way (though I doubt that you were arguing for the bible's validity in the first place). All it does is state the obvious that there will be always more that can be learned. What you have said about a question being produced for every answer that is made is just natural of any field of study. Also what do you mean that the question hasn't been "resolved"?

    You fail to understand that the disbelief in a biblical god and the disbelief in evolution are not mutually exclusive. So your attack at the theory of evolution does not bolster your position or show that she is gullible.

    I think the bible represents what mankind understood about God at the time(s) it was written. I believe in God. But I believe that my relationship with God is based upon the lessons learned from the men who wrote the bible as well as lessons learned in my life.

    So, if I had to answer the question as posed, I would have to say yes.
