since when was the bible non-fiction?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I don't think the Bible is fiction or nonfiction. I think that it is a collection of myths or legends that have been collaborated into a religion. Some of the stories have artifacts that are being found because they may have occurred but not completely. Things like this happen all the time. People don't understand somehting so they come up with a supernatural being to explain it. This happened to be god and his apostles or whatever they are called. All I know is that it was created by people and they decided which stories should be in it or not. There is archeological proof of that because other gospels are being found that are not in the Bible that are clearly written for the Bible.

Well, Mr. all knowledge tell me this. What makes you think there is no proof. Take the end times for instance. It's happening right now, right before your very eyes. And also, the Bible predicted that there would be tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. I'm sorry, but will you please just look at the Bible and stop saying all the stuff your friends say? How about you check it out for yourself. Thanks.

The end of time isn't happening right now. Time is a measurement, and so it doesn't end. Thats like saying we won't be able to measure in liters in 100 years. The bible predicted that there would be tsunamis, and earthquakes? Well I predict that there is going to be an earthquake. So the next earthquake that happens anywhere will be my prediction, which makes me obviously right. Anybody can predict anything and someone will think it's right.

I can write a book about the Empire State building and guess what 4,000,000 years from now scientists can find proof that it was actually there, doesn't mean if I say that some fairy lived in there eating apples and throwing sno-cones at people will be true. I believe that there were men who wrote the bible, that it was purely fictional work, and that they wrote about buildings and places that were around at their time of living, and I do believe there was some dude somewhere named Jesus....now I don't believe he had magical healing resurrecting abilities and had some father who could control our eternity.

Every Christian in here needs to chill out. It's not about being right, proving yourself, or anything like that. Stop calling people idiots. The reality is that Satan has done a good job, a very good job, of building up humanity's wisdom and feeling of security in what we know. But God has said, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent." And it also says, "God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish." You cannot find God through argument nor lead people to Jesus with proof, but only with love. Now, some will wonder, why am I quoting the Bible, if it's written by man? How am I using it to back all this? I believe it is the word of God, transcribed by man, dictated by the Holy Spirit. This doesn't make sense to some of you. Not only do I believe it, but I know it. This makes even less sense to you. Imagine I have a letter my friend wrote me. I didn't see my friend write it or hear him say it, but I know he wrote it.

You, sir, are unnecessarily rude. No, we can't really trust our mind. Our wisdom is biased and foolish and in the end shall perish, but true wisdom comes from God.

It is his plan. This is what you need to go through. Everybody has their own plan. It is sort of like when your fr4iends give you tough decisions. But, with God, the shit you go through will end up getting you where you should be. It is damn-near impossible to get off God's track, unless you sin, of course. Because God can't be with the sinners in the end. Which is why you go to Hell, I believe.I haven't really had time to read the Bible. So, I go off what I get told by my Christian friend, who has, in fact, studied the important parts of the Bible.

god hasn't chosen a path for you. You chose your own path. For one there are many things that you can do that is actually right and to god it's considered a sin. Like being homosexual you can't help it if you are a guy/girl that likes the same gender. To god that is a sin. So I don't think that god choses your path.

Here is a quote thatmy mother has on her computer desk: "One night, I had a dream. I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and across the skies flashed scenes from my life. In each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One was mine, and one was the Lord's. When the last scene of my life appeared before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand, and, to my surprise, I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. And I noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. I asked the Lord about it: "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But, I notice that during he most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of pfootprints. I don't understand why you left my side when I needed you most." The Lord said : "My precious child, I never left you during your time of trial. Where you se eonly one set of footprints, I was carrying you."

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I believe that will answer your post. God loves all his children, no matter what they do. He understands we are human and we make mistakes. God created moral standards, and by going against those, THAT created sin. God did not. But, the penalty for sin is death, so Jesus came down to earth, a sinless man, and he died so we could live. He payed the price for our fuck ups. There are quite a few sins. Lying, Lack of Integrity, Homosexuality, Bad-Mouthing those we differ, and then there are the seven deadly sins: Lust, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, Wrath, and Greed. All you have to do, though, is do the best you can to avoid those sins, and if you do, God and Jesus are the BEST forgivers known to exist by those who believe in them. :)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

But you can't control homosexuality, it just happens. And I think that if god does not like that and thinks it is a sin then he shouldn't have created it. If what the bible says is true and god created everything then why would he create sins that he doesn't like or even the possibility of it. Plus everyone dies at somepoint whether or not you have sinned or not. I think that if god and jesus can't forgive you for loving someone and being kind to them and having them love you back regardless of gender and you believing in them then they are not the "BEST" forgivers to exist.

Yes, just like the THEORY of evolution hasn't exactly been proved. To believers, God is like the air. You can't see it; but you feel it there. And we also believe that God is loving and forgiving. He didn't exactly create atheists. Do you know that story of Adam and Eve? How they became sinners by eating from the tree of Good and Evil or whatever? We believe that's why there are so many different, imperfect people in the world. But yet, God wouldn't destroy us like he did in Noah's Ark. Not again because he loves us all the same way whether we believe in him or not. It's not something anyone can really understand. That's why people choose to become atheists. Believe me, I totally respect Atheists so don't think I'm getting all up in your face trying to shove my religion down your throat.

There really isn't any historical proof. There have been only four historical accounts of vague accounts someone called "Christus" or "the Christ", and one of those has been found to be a fake. And there really isn't any proof that artifacts archaeologists have found are truly pieces of things like Noah's Ark- to be honest, it will probably never be proven. Many of the stories in the Bible were also basically ripped off of religions that came before Christianity. The Egyptian religion, for example. The Bible has also been translated many, many times, and as a result has man mistranslations. Some stories have been found to have astrological backgrounds, as well. Please, I would appreciate it if you also did your research.

I think that everyone has the right to believe what they want about God and be accepted by others. But with this right comes the responsibilty of making sure you accept the beliefs of others and do not knock them down or disregard them. Because of this people shouldn't try and prove that their belief is better, and just carry on believing their own thing, not minding what others think of it. I personally agree with the theory of evolution but I'm not declaring that this post is false or flaming others for their views. In my opinion, people who are extreme about their religion and dislike other people having a different view tend to be untrue to their faiths as these are often the people who start religious wars to make them seem better than others.

After the flood, God said that nobody would be able to live about 120-something years old. think 2 or 3 people have beaten that, but before the flood, people lived up to one thousand years old. God knew that was a mistake. Thus causing the flood, destroying the world. And, no, Noah had to adventure. I guarantee that alot of animals have been left out. Maybe there was, in fact, a unicorn. Maybe Noah couldn't get it. But, of course, God gave Noah fair warning.

quote from best author ever. "Do you believe in God, Andrei? No. Neither do I. But that's a favorite question of mine. An upside-down question, you know. What do you mean? Well, if I asked people whether they believed in life, they'd never understand what I meant. It's a bad question. It can mean so much that it really means nothing. So I ask them if they believe in God. And ... See Moreif they say they do—then, I know they don't believe in life. Why? Because, you see, God—whatever anyone chooses to call God—is one's highest conception of the highest possible. And whoever places his highest conception above his own possibility thinks very little of himself and his life. It's a rare gift, you know, to feel reverence for your own life and to want the best, the greatest, the highest possible, here, now, for your very own. To imagine a heaven and then not to dream of it, but to demand it."

I'm just gonna say this. In almost every fictional novel, there are events that have really happened. You can't justify saying something is fact because parts of it are. There's a book filled with utter nonsense which would be almost impossible to prove, and yet because it is paraded as fact, people believe! Nobody meant for the bible to be interpreted as fact. Just as parts of the bible have been proven correct, other parts have been proven false: For much of the bible to be correct, the age of the Earth would have to be much younger than the age science has proven. It's symbolic. I support many of the rules of the Christian faith, but when they start babbling like this, I can't just stand by.

*sigh* I'm not even going to bother voting. It would be pointless. Yes, some occurrences have a piece or two (perhaps more) of evidence, but that does not mean it's utter fact and should be shoved down anyone's throat. There are other religious texts with the same amount of evidence towards their religion. Does that make them utter fact as well? no, not likely. How about, before posting inane "YOU GOTTA BELIEVE IN GOD!!!!!" posts, you actually consider that not everyone is comfortable in your religion?

1000 years from now, they're going to read Harry Potter and find a castle in England and think that Harry Potter is real.

There's a genre called "Historic Fiction". You have a fictional story, with historic people/places/events. Example: Forrest Gump
