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

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 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
