Could the bible be prone to mistakes?

[KillYerself]

I think insanity exsisted then just as it does now.
burning bush that doesn't burn.
walking on water.
I believe there may have been a man named Jesus 2000 years ago. But how can you go by what primitive thought patterns they had before christ, and in suck detail?
People live by that book.
How can anyone think there aren't any mistakes in the bible, I think that is a little ignorant.
They hardly get the stories right nowadays.

If I had more time, I'd get into how much conspiracy that book is tied into and how its all pretty much controlled by the Catholic church (they have their own damn country, for fuck's sake). Hopefully someone here knows about that better than me... if not, look it up... its actually a little entertaining, and a few fiction books have been written based on the lies of the Catholic Church, and have a little truth to them. Anyways, I just got back from carrying a case of my feeding tube nutritional shit across town, and its way past vape o'clock. I'll see you guys at high noon.

"Bible" comes from the Greek word "biblia", which just means "books". You find the same root in words like "bibliography" and "bibliophile".

Those example have the 'bib' tho. eh...I'm prolly barking up the wrong tree.

Can't help now but think of the bible as the 'book of books'.
Which may very well be as silly as the bible itself.

Yeah, just like the word biblical. In English, the spelling of a word typically reveals more about its etymology than its pronunciation anyways.

Well, originally it was just called "the books", and the Greek word for "the books" became the name of the whole collection of books throughout Europe.

Actually, my username (pronounced own-EYE-run-ought) is also Greek in origin. It comes from the root oneiro, which means "dream", and nautês, which means "explorer". It has nothing to do with the numeral one or the element iron.

Jesus was a revolutionary, not a prophet.

Jesus was no revolutionary. If people actually followed what he said in the Sermon on the Mount, revolutions would be impossible.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

He encouraged his followers to accept the status quo, and to refuse fighting against evil and injustice in the world so that they could be rewarded in a fictional afterlife where God would enact justice. Revolutions are about enacting justice ourselves here on earth by overturning the current social order and replacing it with a more just one. If you resist not evil and love your enemies, if you give to the authorities whatever they ask for, how can you honestly call yourself a revolutionary? How do you fight oppression and exploitation when you do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you?

There is a reason that the overwhelming majority of the revolutionary left consists of atheists vehemently opposed to Jesus' philosophy, and the conservative and reactionary right-wingers tend to be highly religious and, in the West, very supportive of Christianity.

Always an interesting debate. Let me state my standing before I go on.

I believe in Jesus, Mohammed, Buddah and every other enlightened person who has graced the history of humankind with some knowledge for a selfdestrutive race.

I had a friend who was an ancient hebrew professor who studied the bible. I mean the real bible. Not the thing you find on your shelf, in a drawer at a hotel, or the thing the guy is waving in church on a Sunday morning. Anyone ever had their hands on one of the old translations of the bible?

Man's influence on words is a funny thing.

Older hebrew versions of the bible have no mention of Eve. Nor the snake.

Eve was originally referred to as "issa". Translated into english: "woman". Editors of the english bible needed to name her, so they did.

The snake? Actually in the older bible the hebrew word for stick is used.

What did the bible originally say? Sadly man has probably lost it, destroyed it, or twisted its word out of anything close to the words they once were.

As man worte the bible there is therefore 100% chance there will be mistakes and things that have no sense or meaning just like where in the bible it shows that jesus jumped 15 yrs in age i think it was 13 yrs old to 30 yrs old raising the question on what happend to the huge gap of his life? if man can tell us everything that is in the bible why cant they show us the other 17 yrs of jesus's life?

Man wrote many things and said many things that usually become mis information. Back then man thought the earth was flat, and they did not know anything so how can they come up with all this information showing who created life and the world?

The bible in my perspective is just a book full of shit that some guys put together to show what they believe in... I mean in the bible they said that god created the earth in 7 days was it? and they also said he was the creator of everything the suprem being and if that is true then where did the devil come from? Why would god create the devil because if god is all knowing then he would have seen that the devil would only cause destruction and chaos throughout the lands he has created then why creat him in the first place...if he is the supreme being creator of everything then he wouldnt be stupid to create something like the devil unless there was God "and" the Devil then that just proves that God isnt the supreme being

Theres just a whole list of things that man said about god and the bible that i could prove are wrong im just to lazy to type this much due to the fact i am wasted atm

Why do you quote King David he was an evil, evil man, who committed horrible crimes, then blamed them on God, If you read the Bible he does not repent untill after ,when no will accept it was Gods will. He also was a powerful man at the time much of the text was corrupted by him.Nothing by him should be used to defend the Bible. also husband directly translated means owner.

Google video:-Penn and Teller Bullshit the bible.
Well worth a watch.

All the best.

When Cain was made to leave eden. He was a bitter person beilieved he could do what he thought was right not what God said to do and how to act. Thats why God was not happy with his offering(he did it the easy way) It peed him off so bad he killed his brother abel. Cain possesed alot of Gods knowledgs but he also was not adams son he was satans son (see there geneologies in genesis.) not the same Dad but the same mom and where born fraternal twins but by different fathers. This is medically posible ask a doctor..Anyway when cain left eden he went out into the world and distorted Gods Truths He turned astronomy into astrology and turned faith in the true God into Religions of many gods....The end result is the world we live in now...Lies and false religion are prevailing , People dont believe Gods word Because preachers aren't teaching it there teaching traditions of men instead ..Christ said to beware many would come claiming to be of God but are actually of the evil one the 1st murderer a liar or Cain and his dad satan...
