Why Is The Bible The Only Religious Book That Contains Facts?
The regions are real, the events are real (scientists acknowledge that the ten plagues happened in Egypt), the people are real (they have found their remains), the currencies and artifacts are real (they are being excavated). A book is either fact or fiction. You cannot say that the Bible is fiction because it is historically sound.

Silly and disingenuous!!
It is nothing other than “Faction” a fictional story set in a factual time and place!!
There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record – that is right – not one!!! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah – all of whom are well recorded!!
There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!!
He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?
Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!!
Pilot is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!!
At best he was an amalgam of those others!!
The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god!!! He also organized Christianity into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely ITALIAN!!
Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?
What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Christian enemies – so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!!!

“The regions are real”
So are the ones in Harry Potter.
“the events are real (scientists acknowledge that the ten plagues happened in Egypt)”
Christian “scientists” who hold a bias; their “evidence” is not accepted under peer review. Ignoring that, peer-reviewed science HAS explained every single one of the plagues, meaning that they were not “miraculous punishments” sent by your god.
“the people are real (they have found their remains)”
Of Egyptians? Yes – no one disputes that. However, explain the fact that there is not a single Egyptian record from that time period that mentions the existence of a large population of Israelite slaves mingled with the Egyptian populace, nor have any of those Israelites (identifiable due to differences in bone structure) been found in the Egyptian area dating to that time period? Oh, right – you can’t.
“the currencies and artifacts are real (they are being excavated)”
And this is evidence . . . why? The currencies and artifacts portrayed in The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are real as well, so if you’re accepting that as standards of evidence, then you’re also accepting the veracity of those books.
“You cannot say that the Bible is fiction because it is historically sound.”
Actually, I can – and I do, based on peer-accepted evidence, rather than your flimsy arguments.

Science only proved a possibility to the story of the plagues and as far as “fact”, those dates and times and happenings were so orchestrated for a purpose. Not everything you read in the bible is “fact” but many and most of it is mere word play for the wise to become ignorant and the ignorant wise. It was written for those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. I can say no more.

Scientists acknowledge that the ten plagues happened? I’d love to see the information on that. Can you provide a link?
Are you saying that, since the Bible isn’t fiction, that BOTH creation accounts in Genesis are true?
That Joseph’s father was Jacob (Matthew 1:16) AND his father was also Heli (Luke 3:23)?
That Noah was commanded by God to take the animals onto the ark by sevens (Genesis 7:2) AND two by two (Genesis 7:8-9)?
That one shouldn’t make “graven images” (Deuteronomy 27:15), AND God commanded that two “cherubims of gold” should be made (Exodus 25:18)?
I could go on and on…

1. I am going to write a book about the Bush family …. from Preston down to George W.
2. I am going to include the dates and places of their births and facts about their education, military service and marital status.
3. I am going to state that they are actually the advance agents for a race of aliens who are about to destroy the earth.
Since #1 and #2 above can be proven – documents, photos, personal belongings etc – then it can also be said that #3 is true.

The Bible being used today is not the authentic one.
It has been changed, modified with parts added and parts left out.
Lets look at the AUTHENTIC Bible which we know is in Hebrew.
The authentic HEBREW bible states-
-One God,
-totally forbids the making of any forms , images or idols to be or represent any God,
-prophecies that Muhammad (uwbp) will be the final messenger who has the word of God revealed to him.
if jesus die for our sins then why are christians born in sin?
if jesus was so willing to die then why on the cross in the bible jesus said ‘ father why have you forsaken me’?
why in the bible jesus fell on his face to pray? …….. wasnt he praying to God?
did moses, noah, abraham etc….think about jesus when they spoke about the Lord?
why isnt the word trinity and Christianity ,mentioned once the bible?……….
In Islam Jesus is a Prophet.
Muslims pray to the God jesus prayed to.
In order to be a ‘Christian’ it means one has to be a ‘follower of Jesus’.
And in order to be a ‘follower of Jesus’ one must ‘fall on his face and pray’ to the One unseen God Almighty ………. as Jesus himself did in the Bible.
We must also cover our head as depictions of Mary shows.
Jesus tells the people that it is due to their DEEDS they will either enter heaven or hell; NOT through his death to save anyone.

excuse me but are you saying that other religions are wrong? and there is no proof of magic and miracles created by Jesus.
if you wanna talk facts talk about how Jesus and Mary Magdelen were married and had a child or how about Jesus was voted to be more then a mortal prophet by a council of men. not god or any other gods

By your logic any contemporary novel that includes references to actual events and characters is not fiction. So Twilight is real too.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I guess you’re not familiar with historical fiction.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Every novel is based on real facts. But most are more believable.
January 31st, 2010 at 2:46 am

January 31st, 2010 at 5:49 am

January 31st, 2010 at 10:17 am

January 31st, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Oh, so you’re telling me that Jesus is also a fact?
Gimme a break. You’re an idiot.
January 31st, 2010 at 5:16 pm
