read it like a textbook, what you said is basically what I say you can't 100 percent trust something thats written by others.
the whole idea of the bible is not to follow fact but to follow faith, blind sided as that maybe.
Following the Bible and treating it like the absolute truth? That, I disagree with.
Following the Bible, making use of the important, relevant, morals and ethical guidelines? That is how the Bible is best used.
It's no good saying the Bible doesn't have any use because it could be made up. It probably is made up and innacurate, but that isn't what counts. |

for example it's a very taught idea that thomas edison invented electricity when in fact it was a lesser known scientist named swann.
the government decides what books our taught in school, the next time you open a text book remember that every page has been screened to make sure it fits the accounts they want to be known.
That may be so, I won't dispute that...
But which would you rather believe?
History or the Bible?
I personally would put my faith in History. Yes, History will always be jaded and become less accurate over time...as generations pass mistakes will be made and things will become hidden and forgotten with the passing years.
Actually, there's a point. Couldn't the same be true of the Bible?

There are plenty of medical reasons why a person may be unconscious for three days but suddenly regain consciousness.
That's besides the point. Whether Jesus or Lazarus or whoever was really dead doesn't matter. Those stories were intended to show the Bible readers how putting your faith in God would lead to great reward. |

Yes i completely agree it's impossible for a man with no technology involved to walk on water............but then most men aren't born with the spirit of god are they. |

Or then again, the walking on water account could have been somewhat garbled in the first place.
It only takes a tiny bit of diversion from the original story, a tiny little mis-translation of the Bible, and it can result in stories such as that. |
