Why do you believe the bible?

when the bible was written, then edited, then rewritten, then re-edited, then translated from dead languages, then re-translated, then edited, then re-written, then given to kings for them to take their favorite parts, then rewritten, then re-rewritten, then translated again, then given to the pope for him to approve, then rewritten, then edited again, then re-re-re-re-rewritten again....all based on stories that were told orally 30 to 90 years AFTER they happened....to people who didn't know how to write...

    Um, well, because it says that it's true, so it must be.

    The manner in which modern Bibles are produced directly contradicts your description of the Bible.

    Please research the matter before making ridiculous, erroneous, imaginative, baseless claims.

    This is very very simple hear me well!

    Because kings and courts and great religions and great man put literally trillions of $$$ and millions of lives to edit reedit and more and more.

    We know this thing you call just oral storys was way way more! Kings and learned men much smarter then me our you have built whole empires out of this material.

    Therefore we know it has extreme importance and a divine nature because after all that you just mentioned.

    The newest Bible's still match closely the ancient artifacts!😉😉😉😉

    So what force is this more powerful than all the kings and religion and edits???

    What power keeps the text today almost identical to papyrus and stone from thousands of years ago!

    Why is it man just can't change this book despite all the kings and edits it still comes up almost identical to the ancient artifacts?

    It sounds like you don't know the history of the Bible. I mean, sure it went through some of that stuff, but you are talking about it like it was all written at once, both old and new testaments.

    Have you ever heard of the Alexandrinus? The Codex Sinaiticus? The Vulgate? Do you know the significance of the Muratorian Document?

    If you don't know what they are and their significance, then you might want to brush up on Bible History.

    So that people could know of God.

    It worked. It works. And it will work for the future as well.

  • OK, so there's an awful lot of American book-worshippers who think that God personally wrote the KJV. However, it is important to know what the Bible is, how it came into its present form and what the source material was. Perhaps if you paid more attention in class, or even read Wikipedia, you'd find out instead of having to exhibit your ignorance on Y!A
