Doesn't your holy, holy book contain different stories concerning the birth of Jesus. Did your god "inspire" people to write different scenarios for this "event" ??
It's another no brainer, lol. 🙄

Bibles aren't allowed in schools anymore but are encouraged in prison. If kids were allowed to read it at school, they might not end up in prison. 1 in 33 are in the criminal justice system. Average taxpayer dollars per prisoner per year Burdenis this $32,179.

Originally posted by wolfgang59In some cases it is the interpritation (sp) of the bible that comes up with different literary forms. But in some cases (i.e. J. W.'s, and some Methodist's and others) it is what suites thier church, as to how the bible is written.
If it was all so crystal clear why are there different
bibles? Why can't the holy books be agreed upon?
ANSWER: Because men chose what to put in the bible and what
to leave out. [b]Even if you believe in a god there is no reason
to believe all of the bible is god's word (or even any of it)
edit: btw: What do you consider the bible? Which one are we talking about?[/b]
You are right, and i can understand the Atheists with all thier questions.
Belief in God takes faith.
Understanding God in the basic form may or maynot come from reading scripture. Understanding God come from loving. Loving is central to all God is.
When we reach out to others in thier time of need. God is present too. When we play with our children, or just be with our family. In all these actions, God is there too. You may not know that He is, He just is there.

Also, I was talking to a veteran about prisoners the other day at the clinic I work at. He says that prisoners get the real drugs and not the generic. I find that really stupid and wasting of taxpayer money. The prisoners can just have the generic drugs they don't need the real normal powerful drugs. Same goes for senior citizens too. And also for all those poor people on government subsidize medical insurance, And that includes myself.
Originally posted by josephwThe claim that the bible is 'inspired' by 'god' is a risible nonsense peddled by the misguided to the gullible. Clearly these people feel more comfortable knowing that they have persuaded others to agree with their delusions, but really, scripture should only be regarded as a source material by historians. It is laughably irrelevant as a source of moral guidance or material insight. That men still fritter away their lives arguing over the nuances of parables written in a different and long -dead world is just sad. If there is a god, and he wants you to know something, I reckon he could come up with a better way of getting his message across, don't you?
The Bible is a book that contains 66 books which is the Word of God.
What? Did you think God would take up pen and paper and write the book directly Himself? No. God inspired 40 men over a period of about 1500 years to write what God intends for man to know about Him and His purposes.
It's a no brainer! That's how it works. The sooner you get that int ...[text shortened]... head the sooner you can stop making erroneous statements about something you know nothing about.
(edit) No-brainer. That's what you'd have to be to accept somebody else's word that the bible represents the word of god. Think for yourself man!
