Can you prove the bible is false? Just because something seems far fetched doesn't mean its true. Faith is a good thing.

Where would you like me to start? Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, Who wrote them? When were they written? There are no records of Jesus at the time he was alive. Everything was written well after his death. The best you get from the bible is rumor and hearsay. There are over 50,000 contradictions in the books and the morality documented is criminal.



Prior to Constantine there were hundreds of Christian religions, none of them believing the same thing. Some Christians believed that Jesus was an alien. (Gospel of Judas and Enoch) Some believed he was not divine. Some believed that he was one of 30 gods and some that he was one of 300 gods. Some Christians believed that Jesus was sent to free the Christians from the Evil Hebrew God and that salvation came from denying the Hebrew faith. And all these Christian religions along with the Pagan religions were fighting amongst one another. Every one of them believed and had faith in the the fact that their own religion was the only true religion.



The movie, Life of Brian, is a better depiction of the life and times of Jesus than is the Bible.



Enter constantine and the winning Christian religion. Constantine, a Pagan king, adopted a form of Christianity that mixed well with the worship of Mithras, the Sun God. This religion became the official religion of Rome. Then for the next 500 years, the leaders of Rome exterminated all other belief systems.



Christianity appears to be the one true religion because it is the winners that get to write history. There is little to nothing true in the bible.



Moses never existed and there was no exodus. Moses was a story taken from Babylonia and Syria before that. Christian scholars considering the facts at hand, acknowledge that the Adam and Eve story is but a myth, being totally incompatible with history, archeology, and science which includes genetics and the various dating techniques available. In the Bible there are two contradictory creation stories, one in which God creates man first and beasts after, and then where God creates the animal kingdom first and then creates man. This is the first of many contradictions in the Judeo-Christian Bible.



Pick your Biblical story and there are problems with it. 90% of the bible is myth and another 90% of those myths do not have Christian origins. There is so much wrong with the bible it would take an ignorant fool to imagine that the book has social value as a complete text. Yea, you can pull out all the good stuff if you like, but that is not what the bible was intended for. It is a book of hate and prejudice. Are you aware that the Canadians are attempting to outlaw it? Google that and see if I am lying.



There is little to no evidence at all that will support the historical accuracy of the bible.

The earth won't be moved (1Chron. 16:30);



The earth moves. It not only rotates, but orbits.



The earth rests on pillars (1 Sam. 2:8)



No, it doesn't.



Hares chew the cud (Lev. 11:6)



No, they don't



The earth has four corners: (Isaiah: 11-12 AND Ezekiel 7:12)



No, it doesn't.



The mustard seed is the smallest seed (Mark 4:31)



No, it's not. Orchid seeds are smaller.



Just a few examples.



I'm also going to say that a man swallowed by a whale (big fish) and living in his digestive tract for three days and being spit back out not only undigested, but unharmed and able to go skipping along on his merry way, is a little past "far fetched". But you can believe it if you want to.



EDIT:

<>

It doesn't..but it CLEARLY says the earth DOES NOT MOVE. in 1 chronicles. Which it does.



<>

Yes I did, several times. You just don't like the fact that errors mean it can't be the unerring word of God.
2010-07-15 03:19:55 UTC
Depends on your definition of false. You can find falsehoods peppered all over that grimoire.



For example, in Matthew 13:31-32, Jesus says that the mustard seed is the smallest seed yet grows into a tree in which birds will nest. Of course, the mustard seed isn't the smallest seed -- the epiphytic orchid seed is. Oh, and let's not forget that the mustard is a small bush, not a tree and no birds nest in it.



And let's note forget Ezekiel 7:2, where we are told that the earth has four corners, and therefore must be some kind of rectangle. Of course we know that the earth is an oblate spheroid, which doesn't look anything like a rectangle.



And there's more. Is that false enough for you?

Umm, let's see:



Pslam 3:1, 96:10, 104:5, and 1 Chronicles 16:30 say that the Earth does not move.

Isaiah 34:4 and Job 9:7 say the Sun is a light in the sky.



Note that at the time the Bible was written, most people believed the Earth did not move and the Sun was just a light in the sky. The Bible clearly agrees with this view. These passages were quoted to oppose the Copernican view that the Earth goes around the Sun.



Some of these passages, such as Psalm 104:5, were read at Galileo's trial. Psalm 104:5 used to say "Who didst establish the Earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever". The passage was since fixed to read "shaken" instead of "moved". That is, when the Bible was shown to be wrong, the Bible was changed to correct the factual error. (Isaih 13:10 was similarly 'fixed' to no longer suggest the Moon shines with its own light.)



There are literally hundreds of similar cases. For example, Ecclesiastes 1:5 claims the Sun literally moves when it rises and sets.



1 Kings 7:23 says Pi is 3. Leviticus 11:20-21 say that birds walk on four legs. Deuteronomy 14:7 says that hare chew their cud. Matthew 13:31-32 says that mustard seeds grow into trees. And on, and on, and on.



The Bible is riddled with clear factual errors completely consistent with it having been written by humans.

Yes, it's false....and i'd like to add more things to the list ,to prove it's false....



-it is claimed to be a solid "roof" over the world. Obviously untrue, unless all those satellites in orbit are a hoax. Considering the views of flat earthers someone, somewhere probably thinks this is true.

-In Genesis, the moon is referred to as a "light" ("lesser light" actually). The moon is merely a reflector of the sun's light, and produces no visible light, although it does shine in different wavelengths not perceivable to the human eye, such as the infra reds. Of course, when talking to tribal nomads and other desert-dwellers, the concept of referring to the moon as a light was commonplace.

-According to the Genesis creation myth, the earth was formed and floated before the creation of the sun. Aside from bbio mechanicalproblems, this flatly contradicts the nebular hypothesis of stellar formation, in which planets form in the accretion disk created by a young star.

-The genealogy of Christ. Matthew 1 and Luke 3 give two very different genealogies for Joseph, Mary's husband. In fact, even Luke admits that he isn't sure that Joseph was actually Jesus' father (Luke 3:23, NIV). You would think that someone who was directly inspired by god would know what he's writing.

-8.Does God ever change? Ezekiel 24:14: "I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD." (KJV) But God changed his mind about destroying or punishing people several times in the Bible, most notably in Genesis 18:23-33. The Bible also directly contradicts Ezekial 24:14 in Genesis 6:6: “And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”

i can get you a 100 meters long list of false things mentioned in the so called word of God....

i hope you are happy now, just don't come here and insult our iintelligence with silly questions like this again.

there is not any record in besides of Hebrews being in Egypt, or of a large Exodus from Egypt. The Egyptians have been inveterate record keepers, and if this manner of element had befell, there would be something written approximately it someplace. lots of the cities suggested to have been destroyed by the Israelites below Joshua weren't inhabited on the time of the invasion of Canaan, having the two fallen lots formerly or not even having been outfitted yet at that component. the massive construction initiatives attributed to Solomon are somewhat from an prolonged time after his era, outfitted by the Northern (Israelite) kings. Judah remained an unsettled backwater for countless centuries after Solomon. check out this e book: The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New resourceful and prescient of historic Israel by Israel Finkelstein. It is going into large element with regard to the archaelogical discoveries in Israel that demonstrate fairly lots approximately while (and why) the OT somewhat became into written.

No. No we can not prove it false. That does not mean it is true or logical. It is just about the most illogical, irrational book to be written since the Austin, Texas "Bible studies" books

Talking snake.

Talking donkey.

Talking burning bush.

Man living in a whale.

All the Earth`s animals on a boat.

Global flood that was deeper than Everest.



That`ll do for starters.

Faith is disguised insanity. If the bible was perfect and written by god, it would not condone slavery. If only Jesus or Yahweh had said that all humans are equal, a lot of suffering would have been avoided, the closest it gets to that is saying 'all free men are equal' and it provides a list of rules for slave-owners and slaves.

Faith= Definitions of faith (n)

faith [ fayth ]

belief or trust: belief in, devotion to, or trust in somebody or something, especially without logical proof. What a sweet definition without any logical reference. Thank heavens for biblical scientists! Regardless, Christians already know that a vast majority will not believe. It is only in our hearts to spread God's word.

In a world where the impossible is spoken of every day (ie: Did you know that flight and computers were scientifically disproven and ridiculed? There was one specific company that decided a computer was a waste, and that no American would desire such an item. ) They were "expertly impossible and there was no point to them in the American household".) It's simply hilarious to belive in miracles. After all, what the hell are those women talking about, lifting entire CARS by themselves??

No, I just choose not to believe in zombies, ghost-idols or immaculate conception because there has never been a single documented case of this happening in the real world.

The adam and eve story is an obvious lie, because evolution is a proven FACT. Therefore, the thing without proof (The bible/Adam and Eve story), must be false. There, an entire bible debunked. No there is no metaphorical way to interpret Genisis. It was meant to be literal. If Genisis is metaphorical, then Jesus is a liar. Jesus said the Adam and Eve was true.



Look at that, proof against your bible. Not to mention I didn't even have to prove it. The burdens on you buddy.



EDIT: So you basically just announced that you ignored the proof. The proof is right here buddy. Don't ignore it.
2010-07-15 02:54:48 UTC
No, but that is irrelevant. An argument without evidence can be dismissed just as easily.



The burden of proof is on the positive claim, not the null claim.



If I tell you there is a dragon in a closet somewhere on Earth, is it your responsibility to search every closet and prove me wrong? Of course not. It would be my responsibility to produce said dragon.

You mean outside of what is known by scholars, most of whom began their academic careers as believers and ended up teaching seminary as agnostics?



I can however prove that faith is NOT in fact "a good thing" like you say it is.

there are two different places in the bible where the value of Pi is given as 3... thats false.

Can you prove it's true?



Just because it's in a book doesn't mean it's real. See where i'm going with this?



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you believe it's true then it's your job to prove it, not anyone elses. Since you don't have any actual proof, then no proof is required on the part of the non believer to discredit it.



Can you prove the Qu'ran is false?

Can you prove norse mythology is false?



No, of course you can't. Nobody can. Does that make it automatically real?



By your logic, it does. But I bet you don't believe in them do you?



If you get something out of Christianity, that's great. But it's a pointless arguement. 'Faith' and 'proof' don't belong in the same sentence.

no we (Christians) cannot scientifically prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the Bible is true. however, neither can anyone prove it is false, as proving a negative is nigh impossible. faith plays a huge role in whether a person believes in the Bible or not, as well as individual interpretations.

Not my job. If you believe it, you prove it's true.

Believe all you want and you still come up short. Faith does not make something real.

can u prove that changes were not made in the bible???

so if the changes were made in the bible then it is not in the original condition so u cant say that everything is right in that...
2010-07-15 05:20:41 UTC
Dear, yes because it says earth is flat.and many other scientific points.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Burden of proof's on the person who's asserting it's true, not the person who doesn't believe it's any more true than any other book of mythology.

if the book isnt perfect

it cant be from God

Contradictions and errors=imperfections. Gods word should be perfect.



I can point out hundres of them in the Bible if you want
2010-07-15 02:51:21 UTC
it may be fake because there are many different copies all over the world!

isnt it weird? its questionable
2010-07-15 02:51:34 UTC
can you prove it true?



You've been touched by Imperfectionist

No, because it is not. One can't disprove the truth.
