Is the bible the best book ever wrote in human kind history??????

[Trustin33]

I lOvE the BIBLE! And it is the best book! in the world! and the first! IT is AwEsOmE! 

[Falconer02]

I'm under the impression most of the people here saying it is the best book ever written have either never read it or only skimmed a few decently-written verses...

and also haven't read much in their life either...

[mgarmstrong]

Yes, I do.

[mommadixon]

yes of coarse. The bible tell swhy man is even existing. we are not here just to be here . if you read the bible it tells you that the purpose of man is to keep the word of God and live forever with him we are here to do what man did not in the begging. that is our purpose for life nothing else in this world matters but God.

[AmyTrivitt]

Yes because even if there was no God there would be a need to create one.
It offers so much hope and gives comfort to those that have lost loved ones, especially those that get killed or when parent's infants die

I disagree. Im loosing my mother to cancer she is in her final stage, will I pick up the bible and read it because of this, NO. Death is a part of life. I am very sad my mom is dieing but life will go on. I might become depressed but havent we all at one point or another. Life is what YOU make it out to be.

[fervegausa]

Flowery rhetoric.

Yup.

no it is a terrible book. What you are reading today isn't even the real version. It has been changed and revised so many times throughout history we don't even know what we are reading anymore.

Wrong.  Translations have happened since the very beginning, yes, but nothing ever changed.  We have copies of the Old and New testament that span back thousands of year (Different copies from different time periods), and they are still straight as an arrow.  The Dead Sea scrolls, for example, which are like a thousand years old (I don't know for sure), were 95% word for word from OT copies from even thousands of years before that.  And the 5% that was different were "misspellings and slips of the hand."  I watched a documentary.  

And another thing. There is not one archaelogical finding to disprove the Bible.  And I don't mean how you carbon date things and say they are 99⁹⁹⁹ years old.  I mean actually physical things.  Like all the Biblical cities, buildings, and civilizations that are still being found.

You cannot be serious. You do realize multiple books were taken out of the Bible, others were edited, others were input, and so on?  The Bible has been edited numerous times throughout history.  This isn't a debatable topic.

A documentary is only as credible as its producer.  I'd like to see which documentary you watched or who made it.

Harry Potter lives in London.  They watch the London News.  They reference the Prime Minister.  They reference King's Cross, the train station in London.  The book talks about how there are people in the United States, Russia, and specifically mentions the existence of many actual countries which exist around the world.

It doesn't mean people fly on brooms, speak snake languages, go to wizard school when they're 13, or any of the other mythical creations of the book.

The Bible may not be the first book written, but it is the only book that matters. If you ignore the differences of clothing, speech, etc. between then and now, those stories are repeating themselves everyday in our society, Brothers killing brothers, rape, adultery, idol worshiping, drunkenness.... The Bible is our guide through this diseased world so that we can strive to be more like Jesus and live a godly life. The Bible is a Life changing book because though it was written by men, it is the absolute truth of God. Life would not be worth living without a God to hold me and guide me through the bad times and the good.

It is our guide?  Do you know what it says about what should happen if a man is caught raping a woman?  Look it up, you'll have fun.

It's a shame we don't follow those laws anymore. lol. Some of them are quite disgusting, but thats how it was back then.  I think the laws have changed, but there is not nearly enough punishment for unlawful things these days.
