It is interesting that, with the exception of the Mormons (an off-shoot of the Christian religion), no major religion has been formed since the age of modern science. Think about it! All major religions were created before people knew that the Earth is round. There was one fellow in Texas that tried to start a new religion. His name was David Koresh. We know how that turned out.

Some say that the Bible is nothing more than fairy tales. But this cannot be for it contains great wisdom and truth and it has been verified throughout history as being accurate.  Its historical accounts are flawlessly accurate. In fact, archaeology routinely demonstrates the accuracy of the biblical records concerning locations and events recorded in the Bible.  \n\nThe Bible is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over approximately 1600 years. The Bible claims to be inspired and inerrant. This means that the Bible claims to be from God and that it is without error in everything it addresses.\n\nThe Bible contains many different styles of writing such as poetry, narration, fiction, history, law, and prophecy and must be interpreted in context of those styles. It is the source of the Christian religion in that the Bible contains the words of God and how the Christian is to apply the words of God to his life.\n\nBasically, the Bible describes the origin of man in the Garden of Eden along with his fall into sin and out of fellowship with God. It then describes how God called out a special people to Himself, the Israelites. He promised the Israelites a future Messiah who would restore mankind's relationship with God. The Bible is the account of the work of God in history bringing to fruition His prophetic declarations concerning Jesus.  Jesus was born of the Virgin, died on the cross, and paid for sins, just as the Bible prophesied in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New.  In short, the Bible points to Jesus, "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me," (John 5:39).  \n\nFurthermore, the Bible teaches us that forgiveness of sins is found in Jesus alone, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12).

God inspired the prophets to write the bible, it is the Word of God and what we have to go on. However I don't and am not spoon fed by religious leaders. I am glad that we are free in the US to own a bible and read for ourselves.

Many Christians, Jews and Muslims believe that God authored the bible. They believe in the inerrantacy of the bible because it is claimed to be inspired by God himself. If the bible is inerrant, without error, then they reason that  the bible must be literally true. The problem for them then is to interpret the bible so any inconsistancies can be explained within the entire bible when read as a whole continuous work. The bible was written by 40 or more individuals over perhaps 1500 years. Reading it as a whole continuous work inspired by God, does not leave room for the evolution of religious thought not to mention the evolution of the Universe and Mankind. This is "Group Think' on a global scale. I am not saying that the bible is not inspired by God, but it should be read in literary form not literal form. In the area of ethics and morals I believe the bible is more literal in nature. God communicates directly with his creation through Science, there is no middle man. Scripture has man in the middle, communicating ideas with his own limited understanding of the world. When fundamentalists are confronted with the science of evolution, they just do not believe it. Some will try to find ways to expain the Universe so it is in agreement with the bible. Examples would be that radioisotope dating is wrong or the Universe was created to look billions of years old when it is less than 10,000 years old. It does seem ridiculous to reasonable people.

the scriptures were written by man not god.  God did not magically create a book.  The important thing to understand is that the scriptures were written many many years after the events that they are documenting supposedly occurred.  As with any story, things were changed through time and the relaying of these stories and they are also in the viewpoint of the people writing them.  Christians believe that the stories are written with the writers being a conduit for God and therefore are infallable.  Personally I believe that many very intelligent men wrote many drafts and revisions to create a book of parables to keep us from following our animal instinct to kill eachother.  It has caused both restraint in that area of our humanity and also it has caused many wars.  What you need to figure out within yourself is what you believe.  Do you want to be but another pathetic sheep following the herd, or do you want to think for yourself and come to your own conclusions thus making whatever faith you choose strong and heartfelt?

Just like it says in the Bible. God chose the words that, through the Holy Spirit, men were inspired to write and God meant every single one of them to be there.\n\nIt is how God intended that we should understand everthing that He intends for us to know, nothing more, nothing less. Accept it all for what it is, the Word of God.

It is not. Back then, each copy of the Bible had to be handwritten when they were reproduced. This means the scribes had free will to add/change anything they wanted. Also the Bible was translated from Greek and Hebrew to English. So its changed a lot, because there are no originals in existence. KJV went through the hands of countless scribes before being translated.  Even the dead sea scrolls are not the originals, just really old, close to original copies. And no, they're not in English

The Bible is the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God.  Everything in it is true.  People didn't create the New Testament, but holy men wrote as they were led by the Holy Spirit.

Actually, God is the Author of the gospel of Mark. The bible is the Inspired Word of God, written down by human hands for the benefit of mankind.

I take it you don't even have a Gideon's Bible [KJV] handy... \n\nWell, there are over sixty books in it and they were authored by over four dozen people [prophets, messengers, disciples, scribes, etc.]. \n\nOkay, here are a few Books found in the Old Testament: Genesis; Exodus; Numbers; Leviticus; Deuteronomy; Joshua; Samuel; Job; Psalms; Isaiah; Daniel; etc...\n\nPeace be with you!
