Do you think the Bible was invented to?

Jesus didn't bury fossils. Satan buried fossils. Get your facts straight.

The bible, Jesus [ who was before the fossils ], as Jesus was with God before the world was, John 17:1-26, the fossils, the dino's, the angels and space, Job 38:4-7,30-32,

the earth and all we see in it and above it, is all real, we really are born dying which is inherited sin, we did nothing, 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53, the good news is God has not wiped us out, but allowed this short life, and gave us a promise of the real one, it is all real.

The Bible was written by about forty different writers over a 1,500-year period. Most of these authors did not know one another other because they lived in different locations or at different times. Even though widely separated by distance and time, the authors presented a consistent message. This unity could never have occurred unless the authors' words were inspired by God. Men do not naturally write with the harmony and unity found in the Bible. Men commonly build their own new views and tend to destroy the arguments of others when they write. This is so even when they live close together in location and time, and even more so when they are vastly separated. The only way to explain the Bible's unity is by the Bible's claim that "all scripture is given by inspiration of God" (II Timothy 3:16) and that "the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (II Peter 1:21).

The Bible was written in a prescientific age, yet it is scientifically accurate (that is, the original manuscripts were without error; the copies we have may exhibit some minor errors) and does not reflect the scientific errors that existed at the time. This is not what one would expect from a book spanning the years the Bible was written. Men without divine guidance would have reflected the shifting opinions of the "science" of their day. Since the Bible does not reflect contemporary opinions, it must have come about through divine revelation.

"He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7). This was written when men tried to figure out what supported the earth.

"It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth" (Isa. 40:22). This was written when many men thought the earth was flat.

"The host of heaven cannot be numbered" (Jer. 33:22). This was written at a time when many men tried to count the stars and were sure they could be numbered.

God has revealed Himself to man through Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. These reasons are adequate, but they will not force an unbeliever to follow Christ. God has not chosen to remove man's free will and the need to accept the gospel by faith. Reason can help prepare one to accept the gospel and can suggest that in all probability the Bible is inspired, but faith is still needed. Only the Holy Spirit can remove all doubt and produce faith in an unbeliever. Christians can only help in this by expounding the Scriptures, thus providing the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to produce faith (John 15:26; 16:7-8; Rom. 10:14-17).

God has revealed Himself through His Son and has presented us with an accurate and reliable Word telling of these events. This Word can be trusted and relied on since the Holy Spirit guided its writing and its preservation during years of copying, and it is the only source by which man can understand God's plan of redemption.

Brilliant!

No, not on purpose. It was compiled as a record of first the Hebrew people's, and later the early Christian's understanding of God and his dealings with us.

However with the passing of the centuries, and the movement of Christianity's centre of gravity away from the Middle East, the Bible has become more and more alien and obscure. Understanding it now is a real challenge to literary scholars, historians, linguists and theologians. Anyone who thinks it's easy just doesn't get it. So although it was "invented" as a test, that is what it has become.

no. I never read anywhere in the Bible where it says Jesus buried fossils to test our faith in God. The Bible was created by men who wanted to control and manipulate the masses. And they have done a pretty good job.

The bible was compiled hundreds of years after the events occurred so most of the Information is garbled. Like a game of telephone. Many scholars believe that the stories from the bible are metaphorical and not literal. People are idiots for actually believing this stuff is concrete truth. They don't know the history of christianity and are just blindly following a religion not knowing why.

Oh and christianity is far from original:

No. The Bible is the inspired Word of God.

2 Timothy 2:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

It has absolutely nothing to do with logic.

Interesting theory! I'm sure the Bible was constructed in a way to make us think rather than as just a "good read".

No I think the Bible was divinely inspired as a blueprint for our lives!

You ought to read it before you critique it!

Then who invented the bible? It could not have been mere humans. Too many true prophecies, none came out false....
