Um, you are about 15 years or so too late.  The Soviet Union does not exist any more.\n\nThe Bible is certainly NOT illegal in Russia.

Missionaries to Russia At Risk      \n\nThe Russian parliament overwhelmingly passed a law that would limit the activities of any religious group not registered by the Soviet Union 15 years ago. Under this bill, Catholics, Baptists, and other evangelical Christian ministries who have flooded Russia with aid and evangelism would be severely affected. President Boris Yeltsin vetoed the measure under pressure from the United States Congress, however, it is still subject to a veto override vote. Russia is at risk to loosing all aid from the United States if the bill becomes law.\n\nThis bill is an obvious attempt to return the religious life in the country ”over to state control,“ said Yuri Rosenbaum, a law professor who drafted the 1990 law on human rights and religious freedom which is still in practice. By centralizing religious activity through permits, evangelical Christian churches are being denied religious freedom. This would also limit a vast majority of missionaries who are not members of the Russian Orthodox Church.\n\nMany regions of Russia have already passed their own laws restricting the activities of minority religions, and thus elevating the Orthodox Church to a state church position. Under this bill, parliament is essentially the head of the church as it would determine the central role of the Russian Orthodox Church. While ”traditional“ religions, such as Islam, Buddhism and Judaism were promised respect, this law will force other ”religions“ to register with the government and bar them from owning property or conducting public worship until 15 years after registration.

2 Timothy 3:16, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” \n\n“prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” Peter 1:21\n\nA correct view of God will lead one to a correct view of His Word. Because God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and completely perfect, His Word will by its very nature have the same characteristics. The same verses that establish the inspiration of the Scriptures also establish that it is both inerrant and authoritative. Without a doubt the Bible is what it claims to be - the undeniable, authoritative, Word of God to humanity.

It's a biblical reference to Armageddon.\n\nGog and Magog are the biblical names of nations.  Nobody knows for sure who they are, since the bible doesn't get that specific.  Based on geography, though, one of them is commonly held to be Russia.

Yes.  God is not a book, nor is He confined to a book.\n\nThink about this:\n\nIn the time of Isaiah the prophet, the "Bible" as we know it had not been written fully.  But the Torah did exist, that is, the Books of the Law of Moses.  God spoke to Isaiah things which were not contradictory to the Torah, but yet were not in there either exactly.  \n\nAlso, most of history, most people have actually been illiterate.  And yet, God communicates with all of us, if we listen.

What Church? The Bible is not a religion, it is documentation of God's words.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.\nBible is God's word, none can deny that. everything in bible is not the views of any individuals rather they are Gods views. Bible was written by the power of Holy Spirit, by people filled with holy spirit. so the holy spirit speaks thro Bible. so it is God speaking thro bible.\nIT IS GOD'S VOICE.\nSO IF YOU DON'T HEAR AND RECOGNIZE YOUR SHEPPERD'S{JESUS} VOICE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FOLLOW HIM??? IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO FOLLOW HIM THEN HOW CAN YOU BE HIS FLOCK???

God promised to preserve his Word, not the English language. He knew about the translations, and the annomalies that may arise.\n\nYou can bet the translations (not all of them), but a few of them, potray the message in a clear and concise manner.\n\nWhile the enemy may taint some avenues of the Gospel, the Lord will not allow them all to be corrupted.\n\nI posted this in another thread:\n\nThe Bible is made up of 66 books, written by 40 authors on 3 continents, using 3 languages, and penned over a 1600 year span of time, yet it uniquely fits together without contradiction, making up one volume we call, “The Bible”.\n\nCharles Spurgeon said, "This Bible is the anvil on which many a hammer of critics has been worn out." It has truly withstood every test and trial while remaining the undisputed bestseller of all time! Over 1/2 billion Bibles were printed in1997 alone!\n\nWhat makes the Bible so different from all other books? It's incredible accuracy both historically, scientifically, geographically, and prophetically.\n\nArcheological findings, have proven the Bible’s literal accuracy. The Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947, substantiate the accuracy of the Old Testament scriptures written 2,500 to 3,500 years ago!\n\nThe Bible revealed many truths thousands of years ago long before they were discovered. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica; Volume 4 page 937 "Columbus discovered America by Bible prophecy rather than by astronomy." Columbus believed the Bible and convinced the Queen after reading to her the following scriptures:\n\nIsaiah 40:22 (about 800 B.C.)\n\n"It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth..."\n\nJob 26:7 (Almost certainly over 1,000 B.C.)\n\n"He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."\n\nMan thought the earth was flat and perhaps sat on the back of a turtle, just 500 years ago, yet God revealed the earth's true Geography over 3,500 years ago, a circle that hangs on nothing.\n\nIncredible as it may sound, we probably killed our first president, George Washington, by bleeding him to death. A practice called blood letting, the cutting of ones wrist and removing life giving blood. If we had only read and believed God's word:\n\nLeviticus 17:11\n\n"For the life of the flesh is in the blood..."\n\nThere are hosts of incredible proofs like these throughout the Bible. The water cycle and evaporation process is revealed in Ecclesiastes 1:6-7 and Psalms 135. \n\nThe Bible is the only book that foretells the future with 100% accuracy. It foretold the birthplace of Jesus 700 years before He was born! (Micah 5:2), That He would be crucified over 500 years before this inhumane practice ever began! Details about Jesus’ crucifixion such as: His hands and feet would be pierced, His beard would be torn out, His garments would be gambled for, and that He would die between two thieves, and be buried in a rich mans tomb (Isaiah 53, Psalms 22). Jesus fulfilled 30 different prophecies in just one day. There were about 300 prophecies that foretold His first coming and over 500 that tell of His second coming.\n\nOne such prophecy was fulfilled and witnessed by millions of people alive today! On May 14th, 1948, three million Jews from all over the world speaking 85 different languages returned to a tiny piece of desolate desert land, that most had never seen. God foretold of this incredible event through His word over 2,500 years ago.\n\nJeremiah 30:3\n\n"For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it."\n\nEzekiel 36:24\n\n"For I will take you (Jews) from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land."\n\nZechariah 8:8\n\n"And I will bring them, and they shall dwe

No version of the Bible is correct. They can't even get Jesus's name right (Isa) or answer why the concept of the Trinity didn't show up in the original manuscripts of John, and yet it started showing up in the Latin translations out of no where.\n\nAny Christian 300 years believed that the Bible is the word of God, and yet it was neither written by God, nor by Jesus, only by people who were assistants to the disciples of Jesus, and wrote what the disciples remembered Jesus saying 50 years after Jesus's ascension into heaven. Also if the Bible is the "complete word of God", then why is it that even to this day, there are extra passages and scriptures being included into it and being found (i.e. The dead sea scrolls)?

In one way, Bible is God's letter of introduction. He described His character through the Bible so that people may know Him. I don't think that He would allow His character to be misrepresented by wrong translations, cause it is His character we, people, can rely on (among other things). If God is omnipotent, I am sure He could and can find a way to prevent some catastrophic errors to appear in the Bible which would lead its readers into wrong assumptions and beliefs.

Bible is the real word of God . Bible is written in cronologic order ,Ouran is not ,and there is truth in the Bible  becouse what prophets predicted in the Old Testament, became true in The New testament . Bible can be translated in all languages of the earth without loosing its meaning , ( Quran cannot be translated without loosing its meaning ) altough  muslims says there are manny versions of Bible ,all version of the Bible carry the same messages .The difference between versions are due to the translations ,are small and insignifiant ,u will not find one single Bible saying that Jesus is not Son of God . Muslims just use those small differents between different translations to attack the Bible .Quran is just a pathethic copy of Bible containing manny historical errors ,contradicting flagrant with the Bible . All prophets from the Bible got their revelations from God directly without any intermediars only Mohamed got his revelations trough an angel . Bible warned us do not trust another Evangelia even if an angel bring it !! Becouse satan can change himself into an angel of light just to deceive people !2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.\nMatthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. \n\nIn Matthew 24 Daniel 11:31 9:27 12:11 and Revelation 14:9 We are warned of one who will come, who will set about to deceive the whole world !!
