I thought it interesting that another thread tries, in desperation to "prove" the opposite.

http://www.faithfacts.org/search-for-tr … l-evidence

Here's a site with some FACTS, that show the Bible to be quite accurate, in spite of critics, heclers and antagonists, (of which there are plenty on this forum).

Let the attacks begin!

  In the heart of your hearts, if you find that reliable, then good so! Who is the ultimate arbiter of your life and the choices you make? You!
  
  Then why do you need to bring the same question again and again? Is there a doubt somewhere hiding in secrecy?

  This is why your religion causes so many fights. You cannot keep it to yourself - you arrogantly imagine you have answers for every one else.
  
  You don't have any questions do you aka? You think you have all the answers.
  
  And the answer is always "Majik!"

  I have to disagree with you on religion not starting any fights. Religion is what starts all the fights about the Bible. Christianity, on the other hand is the real truth of the Bible - Christ-centered. Has nothing to do with religion. I do agree with ego starting fights. After all, Satan had the biggest ego of all and look what he started. I do understand your comment to Mark, though and I'm not interested in fighting either - I'm a Christian and I try hard to love everyone like I"m suppose to - even in these forums! lol

  If you loved me - you would not speak to me in that fashion. So - I don't believe you - as you are one of the most egotistical people I have come across.
  
  But - you are almost correct - it is people who believe in the religion of ego that you believe in (I am saved, you are lost; I can do miracles, you are just denying the truth that I am trying to share with you) that cause the fights. At the root of this arrogant attitude you display is an irrational belief in majik.
  
  Show me you love me. Go on - because I don't get a sense of love from you. All I get is arrogant self righteousness and a desire to be "right."

  Oh, but he must speak to you in that fashion, and not because of love, but because of the twisted and maligned definition of love Christianity has created. They have diminished the significance of love to a non-emotion, to a status so irrelevant that it has lost all meaning. We can see this in how they consider their own families and friends as secondary and tertiary to their indoctrinated obedience of their gods.

  Actually, you really hit the nail on the head there.
  
  For a believer, the ultimate arbiter of your life and the choices you make should be Christ, and that comes through reading the bible, but for the secularist, then I guess what you say is true.
  
  But that is the real definition of saved or unsaved:
  
  Who runs your life? - when we answer that question, we know the truth about ourselves, and our spiritual condition.

  Well there are options to believe in, and I guess we all form our own opinion on what is our personal 'known to be true', which is sensible, because our eternal destiny depends on what we believe and personally KNOW to be true, being correct.
  
  If anybody has any doubts, best start examining all the evidence again because it's just too important to let go.
  
  We all need to establish whether that which we stake our destiny on is fact and truth or not.
  
  Many believe that ALL roads lead to God, and I like that opinion, would love it to be true.
  
  Christ stated that ONLY He led to God.
  
  That is what we accept or deny, if we deny it, then as long as we are 100% certain we are correct, no problem.
  
  Likewise if we accept that as the truth, then we start living as we are commanded to live.
  
  Live the truth, declare the truth and present it to others.

  I would agree with your thought process.
  
  I just don't think we have the answers...And until we do, I'll keep searching and asking questions.
  
  This type of thinking has been around since the ancient philosophers and will probably be around long after we are gone. We just don't know if there is an eternal existance or not. A good portion of people conduct themselves for if there is...I wonder however, if there is in fact an eternal existance, is it connected to God/s or if we are "good or bad"...or is it just energy that returns to the "pool" until future use...

  aguasilverposted 12 years agoin reply to this
  I pondered that for a long while, before I came to know Christ, it seemed the most likely solution, and I had (have) no problem with that, as being part of the 'pool' would either be equally spectacular if aware of the inclusion, or blissfully ignorant is not aware.
  
  But of course, once I met with Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the concept of eternal existence with personality came to the fore.
  
  I am satisfied in either case, indeed, in any case!

All religion is nonsense, but Christianity is a special brand of BS. Not only does it purport to be the "one true religion", not only does it try and impose it's archaic, puritanical values on others, but it does all of it in the face of overwhelming evidence that the people involved in it's creation made the whole thing up.

Going around preaching about being a "good Christian" (an oxymoronical term if ever there was one) is the same as the people who get obsessed with Star Wars and run around claiming to be a Jedi.

  Care to show WHERE Christ said that?
  
  I have no argument with Muslims, I live in a Muslim country and my Muslim friends are truly sincere in loving their god.
  
  But any comparison of the Jewish scriptures and the Christian scriptures against the Muslim scripture will show anybody that they have different authors.
  
  The Q'uran's author was a different writer from the author of the other two books.
  
  If you read all of them, with an open mind, you would see the differences that confirm that.
  
  Even more relevant, if you asked sincerely for Christ to reveal Himself to you, He will, via the Holy Spirit.
  
  Many Muslims have experiences of this, but need to stay silent due to your apostasy laws, and Christ does not expect us to deliberately declare faith when it will guarantee death, but they hold the truth in their hearts, and like the 700 Rabbi's in Israel who also know Christ, will step forward when the time is right, for at that time their fellow Muslims and Jews will need to be shown the way.
  
  Christ will return soon it seems likely, and when He does, He will be coming for those who can say they believed on who He is, and obeyed His commands.
  
  You know Christ as a prophet, believers know Him as their God, through personal contact, you also can know Him, if you sincerely ask Him to reveal Himself to you.

He Who Triumphsposted 12 years ago
Perhaps if Christians spent more time proving our religion changes lives for the better, people would actually have the desire to listen to our claims. Instead we try to prove it with facts that will be proven "false" or "true" later, just like many other scientific things, like no cure for a hangover. (Proven now: bacon sandwich. That's awesome) People listen to those who have substance, and right now, Christianity is very divided, and not in the good, five-different-slices-on-the-same-pizza type of way. I believe the Bible is 100 percent reliable, and it HAS been proven by facts, but that isn't the real issue here. The issue is that Christianity preaches love and hurts so many--not advocating complete tolerance; there are always consequences--but our history has shown us destroying countless lives, even in the present day. No one could possibly believe a doctor is good at his job when 80% of his patients die. The Church itself must be addressed and stand up and offer an explanation on why things happened this way, and what WE are going to do to fix it. Because otherwise, we will always be trying to be proven false, because people don't WANT to believe in it.

Though all of the statements in this link may be "FACTS" they only really prove that the Bible was written by people. I know that sounds stupid but for example, the fact that the Bible mentions certain places only actually means that the people who wrote the bible knew where those places were and used them in their stories. It does not strengthen the validity of any of the stories about Jesus or any other miracle or holy reference.

  I know from my own experience, and have subsequently found others also having similar. When I was first saved, (born again), I looked back on my life previous to the event, and I could name many "coincidences" where the hand of God was on my life, only I didn't recognize it as such.
  But, once my eyes were opened, it was SSOOO obviously the work of God.
  
  Perhaps you need to see these "coincidences" in your own life as the hand of God working FOR you, without you giving Him credit for it. (I don't know, just saying!).

  For sure. You are right, except for a couple of examples that you may have overlooked.
  
  If you go through their list, you will find a reference to the Hittites.
  These were not known about by historians until recent times, therefore, it was ridiculed as mere fabrications. But, the Bible account was indeed accurate.
  
  Therefore, if it's credible about every detail we HAVE verified, why not ascribe the same level of credibility to those which we have NOT YET verified?

Good forum, @aka-dj.

In my own research, I've found that there is a great deal of hidden wisdom in the Bible.

Too many Christians want it easy and insist on reading the Bible literally. But a literal interpretation is a lazy one. Adherence to such literalness is also arrogance.

"Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life" (2 Corinthians 3:6 KJV).

Everything in the Bible points to humility as the key. The arrogance of Adam and Eve caused the problem in the first place. And Jesus said that the meek will inherit the earth.

If humility is so important, and if hiding wisdom in the Bible elicits the very thing that is important -- humility under God -- then you can be assured that a great deal of wisdom has been hidden therein.

Take for instance the biblical timeline. Science has proven it to be wrong, when you take things too literally. Only ego or arrogance would have us bristle with ego at the idea that the Bible is wrong. But look at the fallacy in that. I didn't say that the Bible is wrong. Only the interpretation. Archbishop Ussher did a remarkable feat of scholarship in 1650 when he published his timeline. So much of his work was groundbreaking and accurate. But everything before about 1400 BC was wrong.

Take his date for Noah's Flood -- 2348 BC. There were too many people on Earth at that date. Three years after this date, Egypt's sixth dynasty started. Thirteen years after this date, Sargon the Great conquered Sumer.

But I discovered a code in Genesis which reveals a timeline compatible with those of science and archaeology. And it reveals the identity of the "daughters of men" in Genesis 6. The Bible proves itself again.

In June 2010, I started Bible Code research of the Old Testament (Christian). On July 4, 2010, I got instructions from God from the Bible Code to do as the LORD asked, to change laws on psychiatry forced medicating. The hospital tried to destroy me using the Bible Code, but the author of the Bible Code, LORD Jesus, ultimately freed me, but I had to obey the LORD's codewords given to me from the Book of Leviticus with unlock code '14'. The LORD gave me keywords to memorize, and in prayer asked me after about 8 weeks of detainment, to fast from 170 pounds down to 118 pounds after two weeks of exercising, to try to do my mission. I thought my mission was to save my wife from medical experimentation and forced weight loss surgery, but it was discovered in 2011 that my wife was not imprisoned for helping me, but rather wanting me to be more compliant to the medical industrial complex, and take toxic medications. Thus, the true purpose of the Old Testament is to expose humanities confusion, including with the inquisition and the Pope killing innocent people throughout history, for religious goals of control of people. The realists attack religion, rightfully, because all religions have strong elements of corruption of God's will, towards the goal of profits called tithing and other so-called 501(c)3 donations that secretly benefit the governments of the world, the Oligarchy, and the false prophet (The Pope).

Therefore, the Bible's Old Testament was written by God to be pretty gibberish that performs in software for Bible Code, to reveal codes of God's will and mind. I mean gibberish because the Bible Old Testament (Christian) was written entirely by God to deceive evil authorities, so His Bible Code could be unsealed starting in 2012 by the masses, through 2099. God also wants to expose humanities confusion, done through the plain text of the Christian Bible.

It has been prophecised that the churches would become lukewarm. The churches have become aligned with Satan, towards suppressing dissent and silencing discussion of politics. God says He is angry at churches of all religions, and that he values the atheists and agnostics being skeptical.

We need atheists and agnostics or the prophets would be without a job. I know, because I am a prophet of the LORD Jesus, and I would have no assignment if the world is not so evil and full of unbelievers. But the evil is not necessarily in the atheists or agnostics; the evil in those who seize the rights of others to make mistakes and live their lives with freedom.

Therefore, the liberty to make errors for oneself and live a life consistent as one believes is good and of God. I know because God told me. I talk with God through the Bible Code messages and through prayer. So, you might wonder, what is the role of churches, then?

Churches need to be reformed to comply with the law of God instead the law of man. The nonprofit 501(c)3 status is the law of man. The laws of God say no killing, rape, theft or destruction of property, nor unjustified imprisonment. As they are now, religious authorities serve the needs of the richest 500 Americans, not the majority or the poor.

The biggest censors of the truth are the churches, second are the schools, third is the media. Many atheists and agnostics see this, and are disgusted by religion. God hates religion more than he hates anything else, when the religions are used to defile His kingdom and the people's of the world. Religion is a weapon, used against all people except the world's richest 1,300 people, to control and suppress knowledge and destroy understanding.

Religion is mankind's favorite means of practicing sin. God requires all people look at this truth in the Bible Code, using any brand of software for this purpose. Ultimately, religion needs to end, and wisdom and enlightenment needs to start, using the Christian Old Testament Bible Codes.

Religion is pro-war as advocated by Satan. Religion is pro-control as advanced by Satan. Religion is pro-death as put forth by the media, churches and authorities. The citations and concerns of atheists and agnostic against religion is often well-founded, legitimate and valid; we need an end to religious traditions that are rooted in habit and foolish behaviors, and remake our world as God describes in the Old Testament Bible Code, of which the 304,805 letters expand into over 6 gigabytes of prophecy.

I am a Christian Prophet, I speak the truth and welcome this post be debated and evaluated by both encampments: The pro-religion side and the pro-reason side. The truth will set you free.

I have to be honest, if there really is a God then the bible actually portrays him/her/it as ultimately being quite evil and sadistic - should we really worship someone capable of such evil?

  The plain text of the Old Testament Christian Bible was written for the first 2,800 years, to become stale at 2012, the year computers have become powerful enough to unseal the Bible Code in appreciable volume. The proof God wrote the Old Testament is in the fact that the Bible Code of the 304,805 characters will perform and produce truth of prophecies of the LORD God, when unsealed. If men wrote the Bible, and not God, then the Bible Code would not produce intelligent, truthful statements about past, present and future events along the time line. Everything in the Old Testament, being written by God, is or was or will be true, the question is, and should be, did the prophecy happen, and if so, will it repeat. History tends to be cyclic, as Wil Durant points out in his epic work, The Story of Civilization. If you have any question about the identity of the Old Testament, check out the Bible Codes for yourself using any one of major brands of software for this purpose, and read books by Michael Dorsnin, such as his Bible Code I, II, and III books. The new testament, however, was written mostly in Greek by men who loved God, but not by God himself. As such, the New Testament won't produce hidden prophecies like the Old Testament's 304,805 characters in Hebrew will do. I have personally discovered that some prophecies in the Old Testament Bible Code reinforce the teachings of the New Testament, and some are neutral with respect to the New Testament. If in doubt, I would favor the truth of the world of God, over the word of man inspired by God. The Old Testament is completely, 100% by God, all letters and all wordings, in the original Hebrew form. The English translations of the Bible Old Testament are generally highly corrupted, and often disappoint, censor and misrepresent God. I know, because God told me. King James was a deceitful person. John Wycliff was, however, a very honorable man, and was murdered by being burnt at the steak for speaking the truth. The Mormons are a confused group, but since they did not corrupt EVERY copy of the Hebrew Bible Old Testament, they are an annoyance to God but not intrinsically evil. Because all religions of the world try to do good, and appease dissent, they do some benefit and some harm to God's plan and Kingdom. The best religion is one rooted in the study of the Old Testament as the only truth, and to question the New Testament except when the Old Testament Bible Code directly affirms it. The Bible Code was written specifically by God to meet the needs of humanity from the year 2012 through 2099, according to my prayers, and affirmed by my research using Bible Code software on three commercial products for searching the Bible Code.
