HERE'S WHAT I THINK

God Did Not Write the Bible

The belief that God wrote the Bible is belief, not fact. I am dubious anyone has ever had a vision, that a blazing bush ever spoke to Moses, and that God used the prophets to speak for him/her/it.

The Bible is a patchwork quilt of ancient scriptures -- written by people who believed the world was flat, women were inferior, and Methusela lived 900 years. Today's Bible was strung together centuries after any of its authors or subjects walked -- or supposedly walked -- the Earth.

It is literature, not God's word.

God did not write the bible...ur right about that, but God gave the words to his prophets to write the bible for him!!! Prophets like, MAthew, Mark, Luke and John! other prophets names, Daniel, Zephaniah, Haggia, Solomon, and the great Peter!!!

Luke Baker says:

When people tell me that GOD wrote the bible I ask them to open it up and read the very first words in the new testament.. it says The gospel ACCORDING to Mathew.... this repeats for all the other gospels...According to Mathew,John Etc can only meen that the words written by Mathew,John Etc. is an account of the story as seen through their eyes or understanding

No way, Monkeybrain!

God wrote the Bible and it is a fact.I don't know who put such
a topic in my len.Something that shouldn't be here.Since I
can't remove it, I have to stand up and proclaim that God
wrote the Bible.I think that it is good to encourage anyone
to learn more from the Bible before they keep on express their
subjective opinion without knowing what they are opposing about.
It is just like someone who doesn't even know what a particular
movie is about but keeps on telling everyone that "the movie
is no good" and hate anybody who went to see that movie .I
think we can only encourage this kind of people to first go
to watch the movie with an objective and learning attitude.
Then we can discuss with this kinds of people together.If not,
all you can hear is someone keeps on pouring out their critical
words along with their negative emotion towards the Bible.
It is not a meaningful dialogue if so.Again I proclaim that
God is the author of the Bible.

GODCHASER says:

God...ina way...did write the bible...no, he did not sit down and write it in heaven and then drop it down on a parachute!!! But, he gave the phrophets things to write in the bible, he told them what to write!! oh, and by the way, Moses really did get talked to by God...through the bush, and people really do have visions!!! U BELIEVE that people do not have visions or get spoken to by God through a bush, but U HAVE NO PROOF!!! I on the other hand...have proof...its called the BIBLE!!!!

Hi Reg,

I used to think that way, too. But I've changed. One day I went to a speech about the credibility of the Bible, and the speaker mentioned a few things I didn't know about:

1. The prophecies in the Bible: Things foretold hundreds of years ahead of time actually happened. There are so many examples in the Bible and I couldn't say it's coincidence.

2. Consistency of the contents: there were about 40 people totally who wrote the different parts of the Bible, and the time span was more than 1,000 years, and yet the contents they wrote are consistent with and relevant to one another. It sounds reasonable to believe that someone is behind all these writers.

There are more evidences supporting the credibility of the Bible. Now I believe that the Bible is God's words. If I am wrong, it doesn't really matter. But if I am right, we better take His words seriously, because the consequences of our responses will be eternal.

Blessings.

Steve

PS: I read some books by Lee Strobel (leestrobel.com), and I think they are helpfu.
