If you look at the Life of Jesus you notice something strange from all the Pagan myths, Jesus didn't come here to advance himself, nor was he greedy or immoral. He came here with the sole purpose of saving the human race from their sins, at least those who will accept him. Because he was God he was able to remain perfect on earth, something we as complete humans can't really do. If he were a creation of human minds, he sure was contrary to the thinking of the time.

I note a law that you did not mention - the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

You never were a Christian. You grew up with Christian values, but you never had salvation. There's many adults sitting in Chruch today who will go to Hell even though they profess a belief in Jesus, because salvation is a supernatural work of God. He takes out the heart of stone & puts in a heart of flesh. Everything in your life changes. All your desires change. You become truly "born again". If you can go back to your sin with no pain, you NEVER were a Christian. That's Biblical salvation.

i would like to understand how you came to the conclusion that the bible is morally wrong. how is the bible morally wrong?

[arachnaroth]

Most religious people don't have a clue about what the "holy book" says.. i was a christian, i thought all the other religions were wrong and Christianity was the one true religion. When i decided to pick up the bible and read it, i became a Agnostic. What i found out was that most people pick and choose verses from the bible. the bible is morally wrong.

Why so critical? Do you even know anything about the Bible? If you did, you’d know that it was written in Hebrew and Greek, with some parts in Aramaic, none of which is spoken by the Berbers.

If you tried to live by the Bible, you’d soon realise that you aren’t dealing with human wisdom, but wisdom from above.

Did you even bother reading my comment?

[1sola1verita]

The Bible is easily one of the top-selling books of all timesThe complete Bible has now been translated into 469 languages and the New Testament into 1,231, according to 2010 figures..In many countries altho it's illegal, Bible are copied on an "underground" press and sold/distributed at great risk.

Don't scoff at something you neither know nor understand...

[Leshkaka1]

The bible is ecxatly the book you would expect from a bronzage-mentality.

[Leshkaka1]

Jesus was excatly like other myths.

You think Jesus was the only one walkin on water? Healing the sick? Saving people? Born from a virgin?

Your comment is invalid. Read the history.

Why ask why. If you don't see the light now. Satan has a hold on you and the skin of this world is thick in your eyes. I pray that the Holy spirit will open the eyes to your heart.
