Is the Bible True :is there anybody with guts enough to tell the trurh?
"Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged.

That sounds like Bernard Shaw.
In my opinion, and I spent many years studying the bible, no, it is not what it is proclaimed to be, what it claims itself to be.
The truth about the Bible is that it is myth. This does not mean it is totally fictional, however what it does is take actual events and uses them as a back drop to the story they want to project. The story usually has a moralising aspect.
This is like Saving Private Ryan. There probably were guys called Private Ryan in the US army. D Day actually happened, Omaha beach was a mess. However the story is still fiction.
So many of the events and characters may have existed. Jesus may have existed however those who needed power transformed his story into a message of power.
In the case of Christian Bible, a Roman emperor needed to bring in some sort of new control to keep the empire together. He chose Christianity. Since then the Bible has been edited, cut, added etc. to fit whoever needs the power.
The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god!!! He took the Jewish religion and basing it on the Mithras religion, organized it into Christianity and then into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely ITALIAN!!
Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?
What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Jewish enemies by turning them into his invented Christianity - so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!!!
