Is the Bible practical today?

Although some say that the Bible is old fashioned or non applicable, i personally find that it is the most practical book. For the Bible gives helpful advice on common situations that we still face today. For example, matthew 5:25 says to "be about settling matters quickly". Such advice could be applied to varying situations whether there are problems within family, freinds, spouse, or an organization; but yet it is still useful today

by defintion, if you are a devout reader your answer is "yes' and if not, 'No

No

It's practical in that, if you read long enough you can find something to confirm or fit your agenda.

If anybody took the bible serious, christianity would qualify as a terrorist organization:

Deuteronomy 13:12-16

12 If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in 13 that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly.

And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely,[a] both its people and its livestock.

16 You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt

The bible is not practical nor is it a true story.

The Word of God (The Tree of Life, Light, Love, Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge) is not only practical it is relevant when considering the needs of mankind today. <t><

The Bibles have been practical for the charlatan Clergy sine Day One.

From my forthcoming new book.....

"Things I never learned in Catholic schools"....

There are TWO very different Bibles from two very different times and cultures. From the Old Testament we have Ancient Samaritan, Babylonian, Egyptian and Hebrew myth and folklore. In the New Testament we see outright Roman political bullshit from the pre-Catholic Bishops.

Countless Storytellers, Scribes, editors, redactors, forgers and downright charlatans "wrote" the Bibles assembled over a thousand year period.

The politically motivated Quran came a few hundred years later with similar material and plagiarizing from both Bibles.

And then came The Dark Ages where nothing new was written for a thousand years.

Please make an attempt to read any part of the Bible.

You too could become an atheist.

“The best cure for Christianity is to actually read the Bible”

-----Mark Twain

There are laws and principles found in the Scriptures. Laws can change depending on the need and circumstances. However, principles never change. Thus, the principles found in the Scriptures will never cease to be practical. For example, a speed limit (law) may be set on a rural road at 60 mph. However, as the area becomes more populated, the speed limit may be reduced for the safety of the people. The law (speed limit) changed in accord with the needs and circumstances. However, the principle (the safety of the people) remains, and never will be eliminated. Likewise with the principles found in the Scriptures. That's why the 2 main principles Jesus stated will never cease to be practical - Matthew 22:37-40 (King James) 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. - - - - Many practical aspects of Scriptural principles can be found here - www.jw.org

The bible could be called many things.

Practical has never been one of those things.
