If Jesus died 2000 years ago and the bible has been around for 300 some years how is it trully acurate?

ok ok the bible as it is now has been arround since at least for 1500 years. But after jesus resurections the diciples use to spread the word by mouth then they wrote the famous letters included in new testaments. The famous dead sea scroll that they found some years ago (1947) came to confirm that the current bible is 100 percent correct.\n\nNow you have the muslims and their incorrect interpretations about bible and jesus, these are their lies to make jesus not the absolut god. \n\nmuslims cant tell about bible, they barerly can tell about quran, where 70% of them dont know what in it.

Bible Accuracy Verified\n\nAlthough the Bible is a very old book, it is noteworthy that many ancient Bible manuscripts verify it. There are literally thousands of these ancient manuscripts in libraries and private collections throughout the world. They prove that today’s Bible has withstood the ravages of time and has been accurately copied and transmitted down to our day.\n\nThis can be checked out. For instance, the long-existing Institute for New Testament Textual Studies in Germany has made about 95 percent of its approximately 5,300 handwritten copies of the Christian Greek Scriptures available for scientific study, either on microfilm or in picture form. Thus the interested visitor, whether layman or scientific expert, can be shown, under expert guidance, just how exact the transmission of the Bible text down to our 20th century has been. The interval between the time the Christian Greek Scriptures were originally written and the writing of the oldest extant papyrus manuscripts is very short, not more than 25 years.

The bottom line of Poki's post is "because someone said so". But that isn't true. \n\nThe oldest book on earth, a copy of Isaiah found with the dead sea scrolls, is essentially identical to what we have today. Through the dead sea scrolls we have again proven that the Bible that we have is reliable and accurate and consistent in it's message. There is no scholarly authority or archaeological evidence that proves otherwise. Nada. \n\nSaying the Bible is corrupt is just the same old lie; "Yea, hath God said...?"

The bible says so and i belive its God's word\n\nand one person commented that the bible is not reliable... but the bible is the most accurate historal document in existance.  Out of all the kings, pharaohs, and emperors through biblical times 90 something percent are spelled correctly and through any other historical text during the times the average percent is around 10 percent and the highest is about 15 percent.  People who never met, saw or visited the graves of these leaders spelled them correctly while peole who met the leaders in person could not spell the names right.  That is historically accurate if you ask me

The bible is wrong. It was written by people who didn't know the science.\n\nMost fossils are NOT dated using carbon dating. Why not? Because it is useless for ages more than about 100,000 years. Most fossils are much, much older than that. Usually either potassium-argon, rubidium-strontium, or uranium series dating is used. These don't have the difficulties associated with carbon dating and are self-correcting in the sense that they will let you know if a sample is contaminated.\n\nThe earth is about 5 *billion* years old, which is much older than 40 million, which is much more than 12,000.

Read some of Zecharia Sitchins books....taken from 7000 year old text. \n\nAlso, the Bible could be speaking of the populated world at the time. Or civilization as it was known then.

There are only 3 years of His life followed, because that was the length of his ministry.  The bible is not the story of Jesus' life.  The books; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the books that are the Gospel of Jesus.  They are a narrative of His life.  Think of those books as biographies, sort of.

People live MUCH longer today than back in so called "biblical days"  The average age back 2000 years ago was less than 40!

Jesus said i Matthew 24 that only the Father knows!\nThe idea of a 7 year Tribulation comes out of anti reformation theology and would be glad o discuss the merits or lack thereof with you if you like

my religion is Bible-based, so that is the text that i will be focusing on.\n\nover the years archaeologists have used the Bible to find people, places, kings, kingdoms, and even entire civilizations that were previously thought to not exist.  they were in the Bible, but no one found them until they used the Bible to find them. \n\nthe Bible puts on a timeline a cataclysmic flood about 4500 years ago where everything was destroyed from the face of the earth.  the oldest tree discoevered dates to about 4500 years ago.  coincidence?  read on...\n\nin the late 1990's, the earths population topped 6 billion.  in 1810, it was just over 1 billion.  following the curve that these numbers give us, the human population was at it's beginning about 4500 years ago (where the Bible has 8 living people)\n\nthe first greek translation of the new testament was written 250 years BC (before christ).  it has in it over 300 prophesies pertaining to the life of the messiah; all of which were fullfilled by Jesus.  the odds of this all happening as written are monumental. \n\nGod proved that He surpasses time and space with the prophesies, that He created time and space with the intricacy of His creation, and that He loves time and space with the sacrifice He paid.  maybe the Bible was penned by men, but each and every word written was via divine inspiration from God Himself.  no man could accomplish that.  religion was created by man, as the simple definition of "religion" is "man's quest for God"; however i believe in a different school of thought, and that is one of "God desiring a relationship with His creation; specifically man."  it isn't about being religious, it's about having a relationship with God.

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)?

6 Billion years old. The Bible says that to God a day is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day, which basically means that God does not follow our time table, so the 7 days that it took God to create the Heavens and the Earth could have been millions of years.

Year zero. 5766 years ago, according to the bible.

I have read it and the following will prove it. These are real people with birth and death time. I love it. I read it 13 times in ten years and about 20 now, as they sa, each time you see what you missed before. I can read through 2 Chronicles in half a day now. I have never tried to describe the probably more than 1000 religions. I wanted to know the bible first and then determine who was right. I did not do that yet, do not except those studied.\n\nMoses began to compile the first five books. It is evident that Abraham was a collector of information.

This is a great question!\n\nThere are two answers to this question...\n\nThe first answer is "yes".  A person can know the precise\nage of this world or planet.\nThe second answer is "definitely not".  There's no way to know the precise age of this world or planet.\n\nHere's what I mean...\nSome people believe in God and the Bible.  According to the \nBible, the planet is about 6000 years old.  The way Bible believers come up with that number is tracing all the generations from the time of Adam and Eve to Jesus.  That was approximately four thousand years.  From Jesus to now is 2006 years.  So for those who believe the Bible, the earth is approximately 6006 years old.\n\nOf course there are those who don't believe in God or trust the Bible.  Among that group there is a large variation between scholars about how old the earth's age.  It varies from a few million to approximately 40 Billion. \n\nSo there you have it: For Bible believing people the answer is "yes" it's possible to know the precise age of the earth.  For others, the answer is "no".\n\nIn order for you as an individual to know for sure how old the earth is, all you have to do is decide if you are a Bible believer or not.  Within your decision is your answer.\n\nEnjoy a wonderful day!\n\nB. Tipton

Definitely:\n\nMany noted critical historians, such as Shaye Cohen, John Dominic Crossan, Paula Fredriksen, John Meiers, E.P. Sanders, and Geza Vermes argue that Jesus lived from about 8-4 BC/BCE to 29-36 AD/CE. The main sources regarding his life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels from the New Testament, which took written form some decades after his death. They depict him – among many other things – as a Jewish Galilean preacher and healer who was at odds with the Jewish religious authorities , and who was crucified outside of Jerusalem during the rule of the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate. After his death numerous followers spread his teachings, and within a few decades Christianity emerged as a religion distinct from Judaism.\n\nBeyond the historical information accepted by most secular scholars, the gospels make various additional claims about Jesus: that Jesus was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible); that he was the son of God; that his birth by Mary was virginal; and that after his crucifixion he rose from the dead, and then ascended into heaven. Most Christians hold that the Gospels also attribute divinity to Jesus; however, others hold that the Gospels are equivocal on the subject. Many Christians and some scholars believe that the accounts in the New Testament are historical facts, though others maintain that different parts have different degrees of accuracy, and a few hold Jesus did not exist at all.
