Zone1 But the Books of the Bible Were Written After the Events Took Place, Proving Its Not True

[BreezeWood]

Why do you care that you don't have the original texts?

... judaism, hereditary idolatry - apartheid heaven is not what jesus and those that died w/ him believed in - that is why they were crucified.

what exist are forgeries and fallacies madeup for particular agendas and nefarious reasons. religions of servitude.

the 1st century events were a new religion - liberation theology, self determination what jesus taught ... you are implying to worship the crucifiers instead.

Some people, like me, they can't be reached because we link facts to truth. Facts establish truth and it just so happens that the Bible is short on facts. That puts a lid on the whole faith thing.

Then you are not interested in reading novels or any other fiction--you only read non-fiction?

Reading and faith are not the same thing.

 

[surada]

The OT is cited in the NT, and the NT follows the OT and Torah teachings extensively, so yes, it is.

Nope.Dead Sea Scrolls are from approximately 150 BC.

Reading and faith are not the same thing.

I am not referencing faith, but truth. Fictional stories are not known--or even read--because the reader has an overwhelming interest in facts. Readers are seeking the truth(s) the fiction unveils. The best stories uncover hard truths.

The opening verses of the Bible talk about what happened on days one through six. When the reader imagines that this use of 'day' means a 24-hour period, and further knows for for a fact our solar system took billions of years to create...what should that reader do? The lazy thing is to close the book because the story does begin by relating the facts as he knows and understands them. There! Absolved by facts from further investigating either faith or truth. He joins one-third of Bible readers--some of which who move onto faith/truth believing in a literal six-day creation. The lazier portion of that one-third become atheists, smugly justifying their choice by pointing to proven facts.

Beginning a couple of thousand years ago, the Bible has been summed up with these words: Love God and your fellowman. For atheists: Love goodness, and your fellowman. I propose the following cover for all Bibles.

THE HOLY BIBLE


Summary
Love God/Goodness and your Fellowman

Oh no. I love me a good novel. The Bible just isn't a good one

The Bible is a collection of novels, books, songs, poetry. Bible is from the same root as "Library". Do you love every book in the library? If not, why put the expectation on yourself to love every book in the Bible?

 

[Clyde 154]

The new testament isn't in the dead sea scrolls.

But some of the Dead Sea Scrolls contents are used in the New Testament. Text defined as being a quote from Jesus Christ are direct references from the "dead sea scrolls and the book of Isaiah. (Hebrew text translation also found in the Dead Sea Scrolls). Example Mark 7:6-7, Jesus is quoting from the Book of Isaiah 29:13 when He states, "Well......did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites as it is written.........."

The majority of the N.T. is written in a Hebrew to Greek translation (Septuagint)........but these quotes prove that nothing is lost in the translation.

I read the Bible. That's why I'm an atheist

I read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. That's why I am not a butterfly. I read a law as well which explains why I am not a lawyer.

This explains why I reject you being an atheist because you read the Bible.

A lot of Christians think that atheists are atheists because they don't know what the Bible says. That's not the case. I'm an atheist because I know precisely what the Bible says.

Actually you're an atheist because you don't understand what the bible says.

Just like people who don't understand the law, don't become lawyers.

I'm an atheist because the stuff in the Bible is an insult to intelligence

Perhaps I should be more serious. My lighthearted point is that books often reveal who we are not.

Before I was of an age to even begin reading the Bible (outside of Little Golden Books) I heard, "Seek and you will find." I developed this bias that reading the Bible before seeking and finding God can be compared to putting the cart before the horse.

In first finding God and then reading, the Bible made no sense to me...until I discovered etymology and original languages. I suspect you read the Bible in modern English through the lens of modern Western culture. I am guessing you could not relate to it and concluded as you cannot relate to the Modern English and Western Culture portrayal of God you judged yourself to be an atheist. If you were to have an experience of God....I have a feeling you might be interested in delving into the Biblical portrayal of God. (On the other hand as that takes decades of study, maybe not.)

Grin. Bingo.

I can't "unknow" what I already know from living in this century. A mud made man and a rib made woman, stuff like that. Gimme a break

not reading past the first forgery works as well ...

Then God said, “Let us make life in our image, in our likeness, the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky the livestock and all the wild animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground.”

the above is a correction they made and taught in the 1st century, problem is there are forgeries and fallacies on nearly every page of the desert religion documents.

- moses lives in turmoil for the crimes he committed and would be more than happy to see true heavenly revisions to those documents that would set him free.

Where did life originate? Do you believe it popped out of thin air? Or...did cellular life begin in water and mud? Could it be that the way you read the Bible resulted in you thinking that it was describing things happening in a blink of an eye--a genie at work?

I don't know how life originated. I'm not cool with plugging the holes in our knowledge with a God

She's just a Muslim troll, trying to sound like she knows something, but just parrots some of the usual pseudo-scholar rubbish popular with Xian haters.
