Paints if you dont support the bible why do u quote part of it?“Pray incessantly. In connection with everything give thanks.”—1 Thessalonians 5:17, 18.
Or do i take it to mean you will decide for yourself what is good and bad as Satan told Eve she would be better off doing?
Or do u just feel the bible is a book of fiction thats only been around 1000s of yrs as well as translated into many languages and shows its divinity by saying what will happen in the future?Even tho mankind and Satan have gone out of their way to get rid of it?With NOOOOOO results from their perspective.
Hitch, the bible is a book written by men. There is truth in it, but it is not THE Truth.
God is not limited by your holy books, or by your religion.
Paints that is true men wrote it,but God inspired them what to write,just like a secretary takes dictation from her boss.2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.". All Scripture is inspired by God Inspired by God, not man. God chose to work through the agency of His people.
From what the bible reads if those were just mens words there would be NO problems in this world.But it tells us all the answers to why we we are here,why we die etc.It has been around 1000s of yrs,translated into many languages and shows its divinity predicting the future.Even California Physics cant duplicate its divinity that way.
1 example is how Jesus told his followers when they saw city of Jerusalem surrounded by the Roman armies to leave the city.In 66 CE the Roman armies surrounded the city but withdrew.Those that left were saved cos in 70CE Jerusalem was taken.Go read history or are you gonna dispute that too?There are even names of the Generals involved both yrs.I dont have them offhand and i am sure you arent interested,but if u ask i will provide.
You are quite lost if you arent convinced the bible wasnt written by God.Its a lot easier to know that then think HE provided you with baking pans.
