The Christian Bible is not a reliable source of information whether historic or religious. The New Testament‚ written by “inspired” men‚ is no more than a highly exaggerated account of Jesus’s ravings. The falsity of the Bible’s teachings are shown in the many contradictions found in the Bible and in promises that are not kept. As for these “prophecies” that have “come true‚” they have been deliberately used as a guide‚ or blueprint in the creation of this “Savior”. The Bible has many contradictions

Ethnicity The two creation stories in the Bible have caused a lot of questions. I never looked at the Bible and realized these mythical stories of the creation of the world. The creation stories (Genesis 1-2.4a and Genesis 2.4b-25) have been the same to me‚ and I believed like many other people the two stories emphasize what God created. In Permission Granted: Take the Bible Into Your Own Hands by Jenifer Bird it is well explained the differences of when and why humankind were created in these creation

Moses‚ a prophet and leader that appears in the Holy Bible‚ is a very prominent epic hero to God’s people‚ the Israelites. In Exodus‚ Moses was sent by the Lord to lead the Israelites to the land that God had promised to Abraham as well as Isaac and Jacob after having spent four decades enslaved to the Egyptians. Despite having proof that he spoke with God and had possessed powers such as turning his staff into a snake and being able to give his hand leprous and be able to make it healthy again‚

Cherubim’s were first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 3:24 (NIV)‚ “After he drove the man out‚ he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.” The original meaning of the term cherubim is unclear amongst scholars‚ but thoughts are that it means either gatekeeper or intercessor (Hays‚ 2010‚ p. 202). “The function ascribed to these heavenly servants of God’s Majesty is that of throne-bearers‚ or "carriers"

Depends on who you ask. Anyone can make their own interpretations. People can look at the Bible and have many views on it. The Bible’s meanings can relate to multiple situations or issues‚ and the way a person looks at it‚ isn’t always going to be the same. People have different ideas and points of view. Words change over time‚ making it difficult to understand but people’s understanding can be changed as cultures change. It helps to understand the culture of the time so that you can better understand

At the end of Parshat Eqev‚ it says “to walk in all of His ways and to cling to Him.” Rashi writes that walking in his ways means to act in the way Hashem acts‚ just like he is merciful‚ so too you should be merciful. Rashi explains “and to cling to him” by first asking how could this be understood literally? We would get burned. Rather‚ its by staying close to the talmidei chachamim. One could ask‚ but we have this phrase in other places in Devarim- why does Rashi only write this here? Moreover

Jesus Christ". (1 Timothy; 2:5). The prior statement brings Jesus into a position of total superiority. In my mind you have to believe in Jesus as a man-God or the bible and a big part of its messages doesn’t make sense. When Jesus died on the Cross at Calvary is without a doubt the single greatest event for mankind. Throughout the Bible their are numerous accounts of Jesus as a man but also as a God. Jesus lived his life like other men in regards to eating‚ sleeping‚ tiring and was even emotional

The Bible was written over a 1‚500 year time span by 40 different generations coming from radically different backgrounds and cultures. It was written from different places‚ at different times‚ in different languages by writers on different continents‚ yet it contains an Unmistakable thread of continuity throughout its pages. The Bible is somewhat like a library because it is actually a collection of books. Those books were written over many centuries‚ and they were only gradually brought together
