alcuin: A book of fables. How can someone believe in the tower of babel? If God was so pissed with men that sought to build a structure to reach the sky, I wonder what he will do modern space scientist.

The world was flooded in 40 days by rain? Today rain falls for over 100 days in some pacific islands.

Virgin birth Now seriously, if ur wife approaches u today and tells u that she's pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit, would u believe.

How can a reasonable person believe in a book whose writers never saw what are writing about. Paul never saw Jesus. Matthew, John, Mark, Luke are pen names of unknown writers.

Pauls case is more interesting. Can u imagine Adolf Hitler after killing millions of Jews, taking a stroll to Berlin and said he has changed and started writing Jewish scriptures and expect the Jews to take me seriously?

Let me stop here

BrotherJohn:

Some people are just too sick that only God can help them! I think you're one of them, was this thread for picking out what you claim to be bible mistakes? Why can't you just start another thread instead of hijacking this one?
Here again!
We have a 'holy person' spitting fire and throwing stones with his mouth. I guess you just opened your church, so you don't like your flock of sheep seeing my post. I understand bro! Take it easy. The bible is not your dad's book. So don't abuse people who are critical of its 'authentic and divine' origin.
I heard one paul or was it peters who had too many bottles of rum one night, picked an ink, and contributed his quota to the building of what is called bible (actually book in greek) today. Stop reading that book, read science books instead. Don't get your brains warped in fairy tales. Bible is more for kids and hypocrites.
And talking about sickness, it takes the sickness out of a person to argue or defend what he cannot deny. If you see me on ground, I assure you, you'll address me as 'sir' I won't tell you why.

benarex: Study shows that the Bible is also not complete. There other books not included. However, those included are adequate for the edification of God.
What study if I may ask? The Bible is Complete.
Basically, those other books not included in the Bible were left out for a reason, I.e were not God-inspired.
2Tim. 3:16 says, is "All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

In other words, the Bible is complete and adequate and reveals to us all God wants
us to know.(I agree with your last statement).
The Bible as will be seen is absolute and complete and covers any subject or
circumstance a man might encounter addressing matters directly or through guiding principles. smiley smiley

Op, listen up, there you wrote ."it is up to us to turn back to God" is a total wrong english sentence, rather the exact sentence is "it is up to us to turn to God" if you say turn back to God means .we are giving our back to God. That is what it simply means, Thank me later.

My own concern is that youth of nowadays have resulted into deep criticism of the BIBLE which is totally uncalled for. They want to be successful in life and they hav totally forgotten that it is only GOD that can make one successful in life , I wonder why americans use "in GOD we trust" and they remain the most powerful nation. Well it takes a spiritual man to understand that this world is more than the physical. Later some peeps will say the rich men in the world dont believe in GOD but hv they asked themselves what these men do in the corner of their room. Lest I forget, I was once an atheist.

"The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times." - Psalm 12:6

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." - Romans 10:17

.
Muhammad is a prophet jesus is d son of God
Islam is a religion Christianity is a faith
Islam say servant, Christianity say son
Islam say miracles are for God alone, christianity say ye can do All things through christ
Islam say condemnation, Christianity. say salvation
Islam say holy war Christianity say peace
Muslims say God is powerful ,Christians show them how powerful he is 1 john 4:4

Muslims worship 5 times a day they call it dedication
in Christianity d devil will try to stop u from worshiping God, bottom line, d devil has no business disturbing anyone doing his willl....

he that is above is above All, Christ is above
let me illustrate Trinity,
God is like d body of d sun,jesus is d light of d sun ,d holy spirit is d heat u feel that's what we call TRINITY..

the reason for doing that is simple and summarized in the BIBLE.
.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Youngsage: Some of us find the Bible difficult to
comprehend and tag it as complicated.
On the other hand, some of us feel we
know the Bible inside out. Well, this
article lists down some Bible fun facts
that will challenge our knowledge of the
Bible.

The Bible is a unique book, as there
hasn't been a book like this ever written
before. Written over a period of 1500
years, it has been written over 40
generations by over 40 authors, from
different walks of life like poets,
fishermen, kings, shepherds, peasants
and scholars, under the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit.
This shows how God
does not call the equipped, but equips
the called.

Well, we all know that the
Bible is the best selling book of all
times, having sold about 6 million
copies, in over 2000 languages
and
dialects, however, do we know that

the Bible is the most shoplifted book in the
world?
