    No, because it would be a lie.

    If the Bible didn't exist, there would either be some other "means" by which God would reveal His Truth to mankind.

    Forgive others as I have forgiven you.

    I’m not here to win a popularity contest, but to witness to and speak the TRUTH.

    It is and they still do!

    The bible is what is called "Faction" A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!

    There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!

    There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

    He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

    Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

    Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!

    At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

    The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god! He took the Jewish 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!

    So why do they still follow this primitive belief? The answer is simple and very down to Earth

    Acceptance of a supernatural claim tends to promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging this kind of behavior where the most intense social relationships occur it facilitates the lack of skepticism and deters more open minded thinking.

    They are christian, Muslim or the other religions depending where they were born simply because they were indoctrinated by their parents as very young children. They will go on to indoctrinate their own children and those will go on to indoctrinate their grandchildren!

    Atheists have the intellect to see through the conditioning and escape into the real world!

    Agnostics have the intellect to see through the conditioning but lack the courage to throw of the conditioning entirely.

    Sadly Christians, muslims and others are still held firmly prisoner by the self perpetuating brainwashing!

    If America was Ireland, would you still be a patriot?

    The Bible is the basis of truth, and confirms personal experience.

    I was born again and saved before I knew what the Bible said about the subject; but what it said agrees exactly with what happened to me.

    Jesus Christ is real, the Bible is the true record of who He was and is; and those who receive the Spirit of God by faith in Jesus, receive the same Spirit who inspired the writers of the Bible.

    Those who have the Spirit understand this.

    Those who have not the Spirit cannot understand.

    That is why Jesus said "You MUST be born again".

    This is a illogical question. If the bible didn't exist there wouldnt even be the word "christian". There would be theists but not christians.

    Heres a question to show you something- If there were no apes would evolutionists still believe we came from monkeys?

    "If there was no gravitational pull would scientists still believe in gravity?

    You understand how your question cuts off its own feet?

    Stay in the real world

    The early Christians didn't have a Bible. They did just fine.

    I am an atheist who thinks the bible is fake, but when I was a Christian, Jesus became my constant companion. He's never left me.

    The dying and rising redeemer archetype that has been with humanity since long before recorded history began. Would it be Osiris? Dionysus? Sol Invictus? Mithras? Who knows? Perhaps it might have even become Quetzalcoatl if the Aztecs had sailed to Europe rather thant he Europeans sailing to Mexico.

    But no matter what, there still would have been a dying and rising redeemer. That much is clear by making even those most cursory study of comparative religious studies.

    They wouldn't be able to base their belief on the Bible would they. So that begs the question, would they be Christians in the first place. So you question seems to be a bit silly.

    Why ask hypothetical questions that could only be answered with the existence of a parallel universe to test the hypothesis?

    The Bible does exist and has stood. Period.
