Is the bible a good plan?

No it isn't a good plan since it probably wasn't God's plan to begin with. The Bible was created by the church and by religious leaders. So the way God reaveals himself to humans is through personal experience with each one. Of course most of us won't realize that He is doing so.

No,it doesn't seem more feasible at all.\nThe bible is a collection of thousands of stories..it doesn't have one single storyline,unless the constant reiteration of God's love can be termed a storyline... I'd rather believe that anyday!\nWhat do you think?

Bible has proved itself to be the best book on earth. It produced western civilization which is far above all others in the world. Many, many Bible prophecies have been fulfilled to the letter.\n\nIn the Beginning God created heavens and earth.\nGod gives you air to breathe and sunshine to enjoy.\nGod gives you water to drink and food to eat.\nGod gives you a wonderful body and sound mind, to live.\nGod loves you, and you are precious to Him.\nSon of God died on the Cross to save us from condemnation.\nJesus’ love is boundless and everlasting.\nWe have the hope of Heaven through Jesus.\nLife therefore has fantastic and glorious future!

"I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice holy, acceptable which is your reasonable service.\n\nAnd be ye not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good,and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."  Rom. 12:1-2\n\n"Let this mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus."  Phil. 2:5\n\n"I will set no wicked thing before my eyes."  Ps. 101:3\n\n"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."  Prov. 23:7\n\n"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS."\n\nThe aforementioned verses are Biblical principles regarding our minds and  "right" thinking.\n\nI do not watch horror, graphic sex (or any movie rated above PG), or anything that would have little value.  In fact, I do not have TV, therefore no cable, and I RARELY go to the movies for the reasons listed in the verses above.\n\nGod gives us principles and guidelines all throughout scripture for the best way to live.  Your choices are not stacking up.  According to God's principles, you are not acting like a follower of Christ.  You love the world too much.

I believe if every one truly knew the importance of reading and studying the Bible they would know how to handle problems in their lives.  The Bible talks about everything.  It is less costly than counseling and it won't lead you the wrong way.

yes but my views have changed. The bible is an amazing story that offers insights into the spiritual development of man. I'm not a christian but i believe there are many great lessons to be learned from this book. The biggest hoaxes of all time is 1)God is a man in the sky that favors christians and sends you to hell if you don't get your weekly quota of church in.2) Jesus was a whiteman who was the son of god. 3) you need to go to church and pray to worship god. \nGod is individual and god is everything. The good and the bad make god just as the teacher and the taught make up the teaching.

* * * * * 1 Timothy 2:3,4 says "This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God,  whose will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth."\n\nAt the present time, this accurate knowledge is abundantly available in God's word, the Bible, and many can find it, which will "save" them if they read and apply it.\n\nHowever, there have been many ones throughout mankind's history who have never had that opportunity for this, as they may have died young, were born into an atheistic society, or simply never had the chance to read or hear Bible truth.  These ones will be resurrected, or "saved" back to the new earth, and then will be able to be taught this accurate knowledge.

The Bible is not the silver bullet, of course. I do believe in God and in Jesus's ressurection, however, there are parts of the Bible that sound like pure nonsense to me while other parts contain great, true wisdoms everyone should live by.

Someone once told me they make an excellent outline for good, solid, mental balance.  As a religious guideline they may lack something.

I guess if it is for a church group, you could use ideas from the Bible too:\n\nwould you rather run from God and get into trouble (see Jona) or would you rather follow God and get martyred (see Peter, or Paul, ...).\n\nwould you rather read the Bible for five minutes or would you rather watch the Superball for hours?\n\nwould you rather pray for God to help someone or would you rather take it into your hands and help them?\n\nwould you rather play mind games forever or would you focus on God's will for your life?

You are right it is there in black and white. instead of reading for themselves most allow themselves to be lead by another who most likely has his own ideas and traditions of men. and don't forget for almost all religions there is money involved. We can figure the Bible out just read it , it is so simple to understand.

You are very right.  When people cut things out of the Bible, they start with Rev  22:18.  ; )  But almost everyone actually just chooses which things to follow, there are VERY few groups that obey everything in the Bible (keeping kosher, not eating shellfish, not allowing men to have long hair, treating their slaves well, etc.).  Really it's all just a buffet.

It's good for propping up tables, but not much else.  It does contain errors, though not nearly so many as the bible.\n\nI note the prior response of Mr. Stick.  The sort of intolerance which he expresses gives Islam a bad name, and he needs to clean up his act.
