The Bible Is Not Like Any Other Book by Taiw(m): 10:16pm On May 11, 2012
The bible has been in existence for thousands of years and surprisingly it hasnt become outdated. Many scholars not just christians still use it as a guide to success. It contains so many teachings on finances, marriage, love, wisdom, women, men, crimes, e.t.c read d book of proverbs, psalms, ecclesiastes, etc The bible is so rich that its a guide towards a perfect life. Unlike any other book you read and dump,the bible is so unique that every day you read it, you have more knowledge of the existence of life. My point is can the bible ever become obsolete? Many of what is happening now has already been written in the bible. Is this not a sign that there is an "alpha and omega" somewhere? Take it or leave it, the bible (God's words) can never pass away without being fulfilled.Because of its relevance,it has so many translation, and nothing has been added to it or removed from it and nothing of such will ever be. I'm not trying to preach here.i'm just looking at it from a logical point of view. Let me have your say

The bible is outdated, contains evil advice and contains myth


Outdated;
-What relevance does the bible have to the internet? Can you give me verses concerning internet dating or videogames?
-What relevance does the bible have to evolution? Evolution debunks creationism in the bible
-What relevance does the bible have to modern medical practices? Can you give me verses concerning donation of body parts or embryology?

Evil advice;
-Bigotry against women;

1 Corinthians 14:34-35
King James Version (KJV)
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church

-Slavery;

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)


Myths
- Talking snake in Genesis
-Unicorn in the bible; numbers 23;22
-Virgin birth of Mary

The bible is just like all the other scriptural books in existence, dude. There is nothing so special about it. And where did you get the bit about scholars using it for success? Total babble, that.

What do u mean evil advice? Please read the bible again.The golden rule in the bible says love your neighbour as yourself.This alone is a basis for any society to move forward.You said the bible is outdated still yet its the most read book on earth and your generations will still use it as a guide to a moral life
Re: The Bible Is Not Like Any Other Book by Jenwitemi(m): 8:24am On May 12, 2012
The bible said many things of opposing meanings to cover it's behind just like all other scriptures do. What's the big deal? In one part it says don't kill, in other parts it says kill. It is all a fucking mind game.

Logic boy, do you believe their are men of spirit and the men of flesh? This can bring diffrencies in our way of reasoning for the man of spirit thinks about things of spirit and man of flesh thinks about things of flesh.If you will agree with me you are man of flesh, that is what make you think the bible contains evil advice and myth.Here, there is wisdom.

Concerning evolution and other things you made metion here,every human being found them self on earth.When you are a baby you can explain these things you are saying now.That changes of your from baby to adult you are now is beyond your knowledge and that of your parent and that growth you can not stop it or add to it. That scientists or medial personnel become what they are when they fully reach the stage of adult.It was then that they are looking and examing what make their body function.Here, there is wisdom

On the issue of internet of a thing and other worldly materials thing God is not behinde the most of those thing. It is just like a room own by somebody and another person comes to beautify it to confuse people and claim ownership. Christians must be very careful of how they use all worldly things include internet. God is telling us indirectly that this is not kind of world he wishs for us,we are here to work for where he wishes for us.In this, there is wisdom

But you aware that bible says husband and wife are one and that husband is the head of family. What will it look like if you are been control or pointed with accuse finger by some who is not up to your wife?There is wisdom here too.

-Slavery;

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)


What bible is saying here is that, we should be happy in whatever position we found our a servant should not behave like master, respect anybody that is older than you.Don't call yourself what you are not.It is simple as that.There are wisdom in the Bible.

I disagree with some of the things you wrote but yes the bible is a unique book. It’s a unique book given its niche and the effect it has and can cause.

Many of what is happening now has already been written in the bible. Is this not a sign that there is an "alpha and omega" somewhere?

There were some mediums, one of them being a book that fortold 911 – does that suddenly accord that book (and those other mediums) a divine status?

jmoore: God communicates to people through the Bible.
Guide on how to live our lives, the consequences of our sins, and how the world will end.

Thus god communicates to people indirectly?
Once upon a time I asked...is a book sufficient enough to guide many in faith?
A book that is claimed to exclusively hold the infallible truth - yet a book is fallible to mistranslations, misinterpretations and other tampering.

The Bible is a story about God's relationship with man. God is always talking to us through the Bible, all we have to do is listen, by reading his word.

If I wanted to know more about Yahweh or Solomon’s words of wisdom could I not forgo the Bible and read the Torah instead?

Re: The Bible Is Not Like Any Other Book by Kay17: 12:27pm On May 12, 2012
The bible is just unfortunately another holy book claiming to be the word of God. But the first mistake is: its not the word of God, but the word of man pertaining to some God. Thus hearsay and not even reliable to our fallible courts.

what is Torah? Is it not taken from scripture?

It’s the other way around. I only asked that question because the author of the thread claims that no other book is like the bible and that it has unique teachings but technically that’s not true.

The first paragraph in your quote makes no sense. We can explain many things about human life through science. We can explain human growth from baby to adult without god pr the bible. Human beings were not created, we evolved from other animals.


The second paragraph makes no sense either. Are you sayi that the internet is evil? Why are you using it? Look, without science, you wouldnt have medicines or aeroplanes. God and the bible are quite useless today or otherwise, we would still be burning witches.

-Bigotry against women;

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church

But you aware that bible says husband and wife are one and that husband is the head of family. What will it look like if you are been control or pointed with accuse finger by some who is not up to your wife?There is wisdom here too.

There is no wisdom in saying that women should be quiet in churches. Very stupid.

What bible is saying here is that, we should be happy in whatever position we found our a servant should not behave like master, respect anybody that is older than you.Don't call yourself what you are not.It is simple as that.There are wisdom in the Bible.

This is the same stupidity that gave the European Christians to be satisfied with enslaving West Africans. Slaves should be content in being slaves.
