Can the bible be proven wrong?

Question

Can the bible be proven wrong?

Answer 1

No. for it is the word of God and been proven it work for the beauty and the future of the humanity. But.. and there is always but, the negative energy will contradicted it for some reason...and I don't know why.



Some will tell you story interesting story like this one and it is not bad at all:



Hi, at times Islam claims the Koran has been protected by their god, Allah, but the Bible has allegedly been changed. Just how that is supposed to have happened nobody is prepared to suggest, let alone prove.

The Bible has 66 books, about 40 writers over a period of 1,600 years, as many know.

Right from the very beginning of writing, by Moses, several 'certified' copies were made, only the accurate ones were kept, the others destroyed.

In order for so-called 'changes' to be made, ALL the original copies, located in different places, would have had to be changed simultaneously. Is this possible?

In time, it would have meant several copies of 66 books had to be changed over 1,600 years, the period of writing by 40 different writers. ALL agreed about which God told them the inspired messages. Likely? Don't think so!

Most importantly, Jehovah God, the only true and living God (John 17:3) is Almighty. Is He not capable to inspire, and protect His own Holy Word over the centuries??

Allah is supposed to have done the same with the Koran, a book made by ONE man??

So, a definite NO for the Bible to be proven wrong.

Kind regards, a Bible student.

Answer 3

Which version? The King James version and the New American version are both English translations yet there are many differences. Now go back through all the translations and get to the original scrolls written in the languages of the time, Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Aramaic and see how accurately it all translates. That leaves a lot of guesswork up to the translators to use their judgment to fill in the areas where words do not exist in the original texts. Basically, the bible can't be proven accurate from translation to translation much less any version be considered right and true.

Answer 4

Well, to an extent, it can be proven wrong. To logical people, the creation of the Earth through the Bible's point of view is hilarious, and it is wrong. However, the Bible has prophesied many things and surprisingly, it occurred in real life.



To answer your question, the Bible can be proven wrong, but it can also hold it's ground on certain issues.

Answer 5

You need to include some extra information, such as: proven wrong to whom, and what is proof.



Atheists are notorious for denying the existence of their own noses, if that were to be against their beloved paradigm. Some of the translations contains a few problems, but due to the fact that there is such a large body of t.'s and the fact that we still have the original texts, this is not really a problem.



By purpose the Bible has been written so that it functions like a sieve. It weeds out those whom God has no interest in collecting. It even permits God to see who is to be among the saints and who is a regular righteous believer.

Answer 6

Really, I think the better question is "can the bible be proven right," and the answer to that is most definitely no. So by that logic if you can t prove it right, you can say the bible being wrong is a possibility. But also, you can t take the whole book and say, the entire thing is right, the entire thing is wrong; some portions of any work are going to have truth or validity and others aren t.

Answer 7

The Bible is a collection of books reflecting the spiritual search for meaning starting with small groups of people in the Middle East and eventually spreading outward. I suppose if you look at the Bible as a cookbook pulling apart a word here or a phrase there, you can say, "this was incorrect" or "we know more today, than they did then", etc.



The real question is: does the spiritual searching chronicled of these ancient people speak to you here and now? No, is a legitimate answer. Yes, is a legitimate answer. Somewhat, is a legitimate answer. If you understand the Bible as a collective diary of sorts, then to say it is right or wrong does not really fit.

Answer 8

No. Different translations have small errors in translation from one language to another. Phrases can be translated several ways and still be correct.



To be accurate, consider the context as well as the other scriptures on the same subject.



Overall though today's translations match up to the oldest manuscripts. With a few errors in grammer. Nothing major.



Many simply make stuff up. Trying to take a half read verse mixed with another half read verse. Then claim a contradiction. One such example: After the resurrection of Jesus, his people ran to see what happened. One account says the angel they saw was coming out of the tomb. Another said he was outside. A contradiction? No. Just a different view than another person. It depends on WHEN one looks. The one I'm front if a crowd sees a different scene than one in the rear. All contradictions are on the same level as that.

Answer 9

Not likely, since most of its prophecies have already

happened .. with only a few more to be fulfilled.



The first consideration is whether the person ASKING

that is qualified to be able to assess the answers ...



Even followers of various Christian denominations are

in disagreement about which doctrine is correct, since

many have written their own add-on dogma and rules.



It comes down to which groups of Christians have the

same doctrines as those taught by Jesus and recorded

in scripture ~ and which versions of scripture are in line

with those original teachings. There are accurate Bibles.



But how would an unqualified person possibly know that?

The answer is God's foolproof safeguard ~ the Holy Spirit.



Bible books were inspired by the same Spirit that guides

genuine Christians reading it, through all generations and

the "proof" is in the power of the Spirit among God's elect

people ~ and absent among those who are not His elect.



Matters of the Spirit are spiritually discerned, so only the

people who have the Spirit in them can know that power ..

Answer 10

No. The same way that the Quran can not be proven wrong. All religion is based on faith, and faith is the belief in something that can't or hasn't been proven as fact. Can Christians or Muslims prove that the Bible or the Quran is right? NO THEY CAN'T.

Answer 11

Can the bible be proven wrong?

The bible is wrong, unless somebody somehow proves that rainwater can really submerge Mount Everest or that plants existed before the Sun did. Until then, the bible is wrong.



Hint: saying that it's possible because God is God is not even an argument, you'd need even more evidence to support such proposition. And blind faith is not evidence.

Answer 12

More can be proven correct than wrong. A lot of people have tried and found that there are numerous facts in the bible. There are also word of mouth stories that were past down through Jewish tradition.

Answer 13

bible is proven wrong by itself





- Bible says in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,…‘Light was created on the first day.’ Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19… ‘The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day’. How can the cause of light be created on the 4th day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day? - It is unscientific.



Point No.2 - Further, the, Bible says Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses 9 to 13… ‘Earth was created on the 3rd day. How can you have a night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth Without the earth created, how can you have a night and day?



The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No. 11 to 13…‘The vegetation, the herbs the shrubs, the trees - they were created on the 3rd day And the Sun, Genesis, Ch. No. 1, Verses. 14 to 19, was created on the 4th day. How can the vegetation come into existence without sunlight, and how can they survive without sunlight ?



so bible is wrong

Answer 14

The be totally honest and to be politically correct, Mankind has made changes to the bible that been proven to be incorrect, And yes there are writing in the bible that mankind interfered with that have been proven over the years that it was the incorrect thing for mankind to do especially when they made those changes in the Holy Bible that enable mankind to create so many non-nonsensical religion in hope that those religions will give certain members of mankind the right to control the mind's of the people As well as to make many of those false religions very, very rich............................

Answer 15

It has been some mens quest to prove the Bible wrong. But in their endeavors they have proven the Bible true over and over again. Romans 1:20 "For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable." Jehovah created all things and he is the only one that can tell us what we need to know about the earth, universe, humans and everything else. (Revelation 4:11) Some people may say but this, but that ... but in reality humans minds are limited. Men cannot put God on the same level as them. (Number 23:19 "God not a man that lies".) (Psalm 55:8 "God's thoughts higher than mans thoughts")



The question is who was around for Jehovah God to consult as his adviser? (Isaiah 40:13, 14) Who can tell him what to do?

Answer 16

No, but it can be interpreted incorrectly. For instance, some will choose to interpret a scripture in such a manner that it then appears to contradict another scripture, which can give the false impression that the Bible is wrong when it is actually the interpretation that is faulty. Often this is simply a matter of confusion, but sometimes it is intentional. Many pop culture atheists such as Dawkins are guilty of this sort of maneuvering, where they actively seek out and even defend faulty scriptural interpretations. Sadly, those who are drawn to such interpretations, often in an effort to attack the Bible, generally lack the motivation or intent to research the matter fully, so as to recognize their error.

Answer 17

The over arching assertion of the bible claiming that a supernatural realm with spiritual beings feuding over souls has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt not to exist. Anyone in the 21st century who still believes in gods, demons, heavens and hells are neither reasonable or rational. Only early man can claim honest ignorance about how reality and nature operate.

Answer 18

Bible says the Earth is 7000 years old, but I still see stars in the sky that are more light years away than that, and it would have taken millions of years for humans to evolve from microbial life. Noah's ark, a talking snake, walking on water, turning water into wine. Genesis describes heaven being created in some clouds; we've studied clouds since then and there's nothing there but clouds...

Answer 19

For something to be wrong, there needs to be another that's correct/right. At the moment, the Bible is unique in that there are no other writings that match it or counter it. Right now all we see are criticisms of the Bible, but none of them prove that the Bible is wrong. They are just attacks directed at the Bible without bringing anything new of their own.

Answer 20

The bible has internal discussions and disagreements. It is wrong to consider it one consistent theology. It is a library of ideas. There is no single set of ideas called, "the bible" to prove wrong.



Practically the application of Biblical ideas prescriptions and proscriptions both can be argued socially beneficial or not as well as clear vs. troubling and confusing.



The smashing babies heads while lamenting captivity by a conquering nation and forgiving an unlimited number of times are not equally well understood to be applicable today.



The bible is not a scientific hypothesis. It is a collection of wisdom, some appears contradictory, told in a variety of literary forms. If you wish to demonstrate this to yourself, the biblical view of intermarriage is a good study to make.

Answer 21

People try. Usually they take a line from a song or poem in the Bible and claim it's scientifically inaccurate, which is about as effective as going to a Shakespeare lovers convention and claiming that Shakespeare is a total hack, because he doesn't know that a woman is nothing like a summer's day and the two are not comparable.

Answer 22

Wrong in what respect? As Tom Wright said of those who claim 'authority' for the Bible, could you imagine a sergeant-major lining up his troops and saying 'Listen. I want to tell you a story.'? The Bible is not about authoritative dictats aimed at a readership but is about an offer for each individual to react to the stories it has to tell. As Archbishop Rowan Williams said in his 2005 Lent Lectures on the subject of the Bible, the amazing thing is that we find ourselves looking back directly into the eyes of some patriarch living in an entirely different society some five or six millennia ago and realising that we share so much in common and are part of the same on going story. Until you stop treating the Bible as a rule book which will gain you entrance to a gingerbread otherworld when you shuffle of this mortal do-dah, and start realising it is about enriching the way you live today, you might as well not read it. How can you prove a story wrong?

Answer 23

No. The Bible cannot be proven wrong.

Answer 24

Hmn that's a complicated question because the Bible isn't considered a book but a story of change.

The more you get older, you realize that those things can happen, it's not impossible but practical,

do i think the bible is 100% perfect, i wouldn't say so, but i still believe it's God authoritative word on

what was happening at that time.

Answer 25

The bible has already been proven wrong, since the bible has no proof for it's man-made literature whatsoever.

Answer 26

Anything written by humans, like the Bible, can be proven wrong.

Answer 27

Genesis has been proven wrong , Sin is now obviously evolutional , Jesus has not retuned , the world has not ended , it will be proven right in one thing that goodness = evolutional fitness of mind and body , as an Evolutional Goodhist I support all who increase goodness through any means .

Answer 28

Yes!!! There are many verses in the NT that can be proven wrong. Like John 10:30 Jesus never said "I and my Father are one" because at verse 10:36 Jesus said: Say you of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, you are blaspheming, BECAUSE I SAID I AM THE SON OF GOD? Even at his trial the Jews did not accused Jesus of making himself God, they accused him of making himself the son of God.Johm 19:7 There are many such verses when carefully studied will reveal the truth that the Bible was falsified to support the Trinity.

Answer 29

Yes. The Jewish scriptures are called the TaNaKh. Xtians mistranslated the TaNaKh, added hell and satan and lucifer, and replaced the nation of Israel with a mangod whose name honors sus. Israel is the only OBEDIENT nation/son of all God's children, not only mangod son whose name honors sus.

Salvation cannot be from an imaginary hell. Salvation is to wake up the world from the lies and delusions of mythology from Babylon so we do NOT commit Armageddon, so our planet and all life are literally saved from destruction. Babylon's plan for salvation is Armageddon.

Xtians are NOT the real Jews, but actually the devils that lie and are delusional, teach the world to hate Israel, and make violence on earth. Muslims further mistranslated the xtian bible and added more evil beings and sexualized heaven for a sexually repressed society. Islam is a type of xtianity, like Mormon or jw's with their own prophet and their own version of the 'bible.'

Answer 30

Can the bible be proven wrong?



Yes.



Will believers accept that it is a farce once sufficient proof has been given?



No.

Answer 31

Anything that has been translated has lost some of its original meaning. The Bible has been through multiple translations so we know that it is not 100% correct.

The Church is not based on the Bible, so it doesn't matter. The Holy Spirit, not the Bible, guides the Church.

Answer 32

The bible cannot be wrong because it has to be true in the first place and we all know it really isn't. It is just a collection of early 'fairy stories' written by a number of people and put into an anthology.

Answer 33

Depends on how you take the Bible. If you take it as literal, then it has been shown to be wrong time and time again. Just take Genesis, cosmology and biology show it to be nonsense.



If you accept it is a myth and metaphor then it is down to interpretation. Killing innocent people seems to be a theme in the OT. The NT seems to be the foundation for Socialism.



It is also totally full of self contradictions and obvious errors.

Answer 34

ROFL! Of course, the Bible can be proved wrong. It has been done numerous times. The evidence continues to mount against it. No creation. No worldwide flood. No Moses. No patriarchs. This is not my opinion. It has been derived from evidence and is accepted by mainstream theologians. Although I can see the theologians not easily accepting this: there is a growing body of evidence to show that Jesus was just as much a myth as Moses.

Answer 35

It depends on what you mean by "wrong".



"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" mentions REAL things: London, horse-drawn carriages, steam locomotives.

The Holmes stories also report conversations between Sherlock Homes his brother Mycroft.

There is no testable evidence that these conversations took place.



The Bible also mentions real things: Jerusalem, river Jordan, and so forth.



The Bible also mentions a couple of conversations between Jesus of Nazareth, and The Devil.



One of the conversations is reported to have taken place jupon an "exceeding high mountain", from which ALL the kingdoms of the Earth could be seen.



There is NO mountain so high, that from it, one might see the OTHER SIDE of a globe.



And another conversation is reported to have taken place atop one of the pinnacles of the Temple.

Fair question: WHO the [intercourse] was up there WITH them, taking notes?



The Bible is an anthology of FACT, exaggerated fact, outright fiction, good advice, BAD advice, bloody AWFUL advice, rip-snorting adventure, teachable points, some first-rate poetry, and some halfway decent porn.



Some of the porn may not have actually happened, and if it did not, then the Bible is wrong to say it did.

Answer 36

Only if Superman can be proven wrong.

It's fiction. There's no proving anything. Just a bunch of made up stories. You are too up tight when you try to prove fiction wrong.

Answer 37

Can the bible be proven wrong?



Yes, and frequently has been. It even contradicts itself, as well as various historical facts we know. Such as Jesus being born before 4 BC (Matthew), during the time of Herod the Great, and then a second time, over 10 years later, in 6 AD (Luke).



Or that Jesus must feed the 5,000 because they are in a desert according to Matthew, Mark, and Luke, even though Luke has just said they were in the city of Bethsaida. That's because Luke is rewriting the previous gospels, but forgets and reverts back to using the previous gospels.



You will sometimes see Christians referring to a contradictory passage and claiming it explains the problematical passage, but this only works if you ignore the problem passage.



Other contradictory passage explanations have more plausible answers. For example, Paul says the gentiles don't need to follow Jewish rules, because their Jerusalem is a heavenly one, whereas the Jewish Christians was the earthly one. So Paul is usually used to explain the contradictory passage in Matthew 5:18, "until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished".



But Matthew was a later Jewish Christian, and he is not saying the gentiles can follow separate rules, he is saying the Law must be followed. He is probably correcting the idea that Christians can ignore Jewish laws.



Jesus misquotes the Old Testament in Mark 2:25-26, including getting the name of the priest wrong. The gospel according to Mark (14:12) also contradicts Jewish custom, because Mark has the sacrificial lamb sacrificed on the first day of Passover, when it was sacrificed the day before.



Colossians 1:18 says Jesus was the first to be resurrected, Mark says it was the centurions daughter, John has Lazarus.



Galatians says Jesus was an angel, Hebrews says he was greater than the angels, and had never walked the earth. So much for the gospel stories, they can't both be true.

Answer 38

No. Can you prove that 1 billion light years away a unicorn isn't floating in space?

Even though the obvious and logical answer is that the unicorn is not there, you just can't prove it.



The same goes for the Bible.

Answer 39

Depends what you mean by "proven wrong". Can we prove the whole Bible is false? No.



But it is not 100% true. Romans 1:20 is clearly not true, for instance.

Answer 40

No. There are many that say it contradicts itself but it does depend on if it's from the OT or NT. Also, they way people spoke back then is very different from today. The Bible is the Word of God for us to live our lives by and stay loyal to Him. He would not confuse us, that's what Satan does. You can find more on the subject at jw.org

Answer 41

The Bible is a collection of books of scripture of many types.

They were written between 5000 & 3000 years ago.

There is a common thread throughout about salvation.

The history of salvation to revelation is the core message.

Answer 42

The Bible is a library of books. How do you prove a library wrong? Certain books have parts that may be questioned, but, not the whole thing. That makes no sense at all.

Answer 43

It can't, it won't, and it will not be....



Who Wrote the Bible?



“Moses wrote down all the words of Jehovah.”



Exodus 24:4



“Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream; he recorded a complete account of the matters.”



Daniel 7:1



“When you received God’s word, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God.”



1 Thessalonians 2:13



“All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching.”



2 Timothy 3:16



“Prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.”



2 Peter 1:21

Answer 44

My discovery of mankind mistranslating the scripture that makes up the first five Books of The Bible due to our lack of scientific knowledge to properly interpret the advanced scientific knowledge hidden in this ancient Biblical scripture that led to the unscientific religious interpretations we still think they mean today proves The Bible is correct and our interpretations of this scripture has been wrong and not that our interpretation of this scripture is correct and The Bible is wrong.

Answer 45

NEVER HAS & NEVER WILL according to some honest hearted ones as to their summation :



*** jd chap. 1 p. 5 par. 3 Jehovah’s Messages for Then and Now ***

. English author Charles Dickens noted about the Bible: “It is the best book that ever was or will be known in the world . . . because it teaches you the best lessons by which any human creature . . . can possibly be guided"



*** w88 2/1 p. 4 Who Wrote the Bible? ***

What a grand book! Stranger than its contents for me is its manner of expression, where the word becomes virtually a natural product like a tree, like a flower, like the sea, like the stars, like man himself. It sprouts, it flows, it shines, it laughs, one knows not how, one knows not why, one finds everything so completely natural. It is truly God’s Word, in contrast to other books that testify of only human wisdom.”—The 19th-century German poet and journalist Heinrich Heine’s comments about the Bible.



*** kl chap. 2 p. 16 par. 13 The Book That Reveals the Knowledge of God ***

So practical is its counsel that one educator was moved to say: “Although being a high-school counselor with bachelor’s and master’s degrees and having read a large number of books on mental health and psychology, I discovered that the Bible’s counsel on such things as having a successful marriage, preventing juvenile delinquency and how to gain and keep friends is far superior to anything I had read or studied in college.” In addition to being practical and up-to-date, the Bible is dependable.



*** g00 12/22 p. 4 A Far-Reaching Educational Program ***

THE 19th-century antislavery activist William H. Seward believed that “the whole hope of human progress is suspended on the ever growing influence of the Bible"



*** it-1 pp. 631-632 Diseases and Treatment ***

Accuracy of Scriptural Concepts. Regarding Hippocrates, a Greek physician of the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E. who has become known as “the father of modern medicine,” it is said: “He had no connection with the temple hospitals of his time, which were controlled by the priests of Asclepius, the god of healing.” (The World Book Encyclopedia, 1987, Vol. 9, p. 227) Hippocrates was virtually contemporaneous with Malachi, but much that the Bible says about diseases was written by Moses about a thousand years earlier. Yet, significantly, it has been said: “The best informed medical researchers now doing the best work are arriving at the conclusion that the Bible is a very accurate scientific book. . . . The facts of life, diagnosis, treatment, and preventive medicine as given in the Bible are far more advanced and reliable than the theories of Hippocrates, many still unproven, and some found to be grossly inaccurate.”—Dr. H. O. Philips, in a letter to The AMA [American Medical Association] News, published in its issue of July 10, 1967.

Concerning the Christian physician Luke, who wrote a Gospel and the book of Acts, Dr. C. Truman Davis stated: “Where medical description is given, it is meticulously accurate. Luke uses a total of twenty-three Greek technical words found in Hippocrates, Galen and other medical writings of the period.”—Arizona Medicine, March 1966, “Medicine and the Bible,” p. 177.

Answer 46

YES. some parts of it are false and were fabricated.

Such as Jesus being GOD, and he never died on the cross. but it's a made up story.



Joseph Atwill, who is the author of a book entitled 'Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus', asserts that Christianity did not begin as a religion, but was actually a sophisticated government propaganda exercise used to pacify the subjects of the Roman Empire.

Answer 47

Well, some folks have already PROVEN, there were GIANTS, just like in the BIBLE, and did it from past newspaper articles which were too numerous to be all redacted by the dirtbags....The Bible has always been true, and we have always been lied to by experts who have their own hidden agenda.......the TV is full of propaganda to change peoples minds and on and on and on it goes and just wait til it gets super crazy.......y'all ain't gonna believe it.....

Answer 48

Science has proven some things wrong

Answer 49

No. In fact, the Bible has been proven reliable in everything that it states that can be known - by archaeology, by fulfillment of prophecy, and the consistency of the text. the spiritual things of the Bible are known to the believers and they testify to the truth of the Bible by giving their lives in the name of Jesus.

Answer 50

certain individual points may be proven wrong... it may turn out on archaeological investigation that king melchior xxv was actually king melchior xxiv... or that a city named as being on the banks of the river jordan was actually only near the river...

that kind of thing can be - and has been - proven wrong...



but that is not the point of the bible...

Answer 51

Which translation? One of my church's study groups took 5 different translations of the bible and read the same group of verses. The meaning was different between the different translations, especially between the King James version and the modern translations. There is even some differences between KJV and NKJV.

Answer 52

It all very much depends upon which version of the Bible you are talking about. Take the King James Bible (full title - The King James English Bible) - it was translated from original Greek documents and is considered to be very accurate indeed.



There is just one thing however and it concerns the establishment of Christianity itself as a major religion.



Jesus's own family members, including James, did not believe Jesus was the son of God. Instead they saw him as God's Servant.



The idea that Jesus was/is the Son of God came about because for the Romans to accept Christianity, they wanted it from the lips of a Roman - Paul (later Saint Paul) - he was a Roman Citizen of considerable rank, just below that of Senator (as far as I know). He claimed to have had visions, including the Road to Damascus and etc.



Christianity was forced upon the Roman Empire by Constantine - when he was still governor of the Roman Province of Britannia (Britain).



There is much evidence of Christianity being established here in England long before it ever was in Rome.



Just a few miles from where I'm sitting right now, is a Roman villa inside which they found this wall painting showing the Greek chi rho symbols for Christos (Christ).

Keep in mind always, that James was Jesus's half brother in that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary - his father being God. James's father was Joseph - earlier companion of Mary.

Multiple times

Answer 54

Many people have tried and some, the ones who honestly searched, the honest skeptics, the ones who were willing to admitt they were wrong, got saved. Here are a few of the more famous names there are also lots of regular people who have been saved the same way.



1. Sir William Mitchell Ramsay was a highly respected archaeologist (so much so that he was knighted) from Scotland. He set out to prove the historical inaccuracies of the book of Acts. Ramsay thought this book was the most ridiculous of all the New Testament. 15 years he spent researching and digging, only to end up being convinced of the incredible accuracy of the book, converted to Christianity, and called Luke (who wrote Acts) one of the greatest historians to ever live. His has written several books on the subject, which have yet to be refuted. His work caused an outcry from atheists because they had been eagerly awaiting his results in disproving the validity of the book.



2. Frank Morrison was an English journalist and author who set out to disprove the myth of Christianity over over 80 years ago. His book “Who moved the stone?” is a classic and has led many people to Christ.



3. Lee Strobel was a journalist for the Chicago Tribune who set out to disprove Christianity, but ended up becoming a Christian and created the famous “Case for…” series.



4. Josh McDowell set out to write a paper in college to expose Christianity as a myth, but ended up being so convinced that he became a Christian himself and wrote the influential book “Evidence that Demands a Verdict”.



5. Andre Kole was a giant in the world of magic, creating tricks for the greatest magicians in the world including making the statue of liberty disappear for David Copperfield. He was commissioned to study the miracles of the bible to expose them as magic tricks and thus disprove its legitimacy. Through this investigation, Andre Kole became a Christian and has since dedicated himself to spreading the Gospel via the art of magic, performing in more countries than any other magician in history.

Can philosophical teachings be proven wrong? Not really. Can the teaching about loving your neighbor as yourself be 'wrong'? Doesn't really make sense does it?

Answer 59

Yes it has been proven wrong many times.

Answer 60

Yes. A trip on highway 191 from green river wy to vernal ut will prove the 7day therory wrong.

Answer 61

There are some specific statements in the Bible that can be demonstrated to be false.

However: it is not possible to prove ALL of the Biblical statements to be false.

Indeed: several can be demonstrated to be accurate. Probably there are more statements that can be demonstrated to be accurate than there are statements that can be demonstrated to be false.



However: by far most of the statements in the Bible cannot be demonstrated to be true or false.

Answer 62

Many things in it can be proven wrong

Answer 63

No. ACTUALLY and literally proving such a thing requires a greater awareness than a human, or all humans, can have. One would need to be able to stand outside our existence AND would need the ability to view all history at the same time.



People claiming such ability are narcissistic.

Answer 64

Never. You will be turned into a pillar of salt if you even try to prove the Bible is wrong.

Answer 65

Quick test: Find an insect. Count its legs. How many legs are there? The Bible says 4.

Answer 66

Sure , pick anything, it's all pure nonsense

no sensible person believes any of it

The only "true believers" are either horribly uneducated, mentally ill, or part of the scam.

The time for coddling the faithful is over.

Answer 67

In checking the prophecies concerning Jesus Christ and many others.

I am led to believe the authenticity of the bible as being written through God Almighty and His prophets.

Long before Jesus Christ came in the flesh bodily. Much was already written, albeit hidden amongst passages of the Hebrew Prophets, both major and minor.

The astounding accuracy as revealed impressed me enough to believe God and Jesus Christ.

"he Word of God was made flesh and dwelt among us, yet the world knew Him not"

Answer 68

so many ways to answer this type of question, I know a seminary graduate that espoused the idea that the worst enemy of truth is the translator, think about this ! if the trust is out in the translator and there is a conspiracy, the bible can easily be rewritten by their bias and by influence of politics, or false translations.

Answer 69

Certain scientific things can be proven wrong, or right. The spiritual stuff is unbreakable, though.

Answer 70

There is no need to "prove wrong" what has never been "proven right". If someone tells you to drink some unknown substance and says that it's harmless, are you going to drink it to prove whether they're wrong or are you going to ask them to prove that they're right first?

Answer 71

Yes. How exactly is it possible for the world to be created in 7 days including humans when we know that we evolved over hundreds of years?

Answer 72

Yes

Answer 73

We can prove it wrong all the time. That is the easy part. The hard part is proving it is right. Something we almost always wish we had learned early on. That the easy way is not always the right way.

Answer 74

Yes it can, it contradicts itself various times. But none of this is helpful if the followers are sheep, the Bible's phrasing not mine.



You have to think for yourself and see it for yourself.

Answer 75

John 17:17;2 Tim 3:16,17

Answer 76

Not really. It was written thousands of years ago so you don't know if someone just wrote what they wanted in it or if it was the truth. It's a kind of a mystery.

Answer 77

It has been proven wrong for centuries.

Answer 78

Genesis is proved wrong (and no, it can't be claimed "myth and allegory" without the expressed confirmation by god or Moses). The lack of proof of Jesus evidence proves it wrong.

Answer 79

Can the "BIBLE" be "PROVEN" wrong ? To answer the question lets examine the definition of Prove. one will concede that the questioner chose the word "PROVE"



PROVE to Demonstrate the "TRUTH " ( to be the case ) or the Existence of something by evidence or argument . based on the definition Prove is used to CONFIRM something to be the case or to exist



WRONG defined as not in accordance with what is Morally correct or good that which is unfair that which is harmful .unjust immoral dishonest



The bible is a BOOK is the question if i evaluate the 613 supposed laws of Moses aka the MITZVOT . and relate it to my understanding of morality to be about Human WELL BEING which deals with ones level of empathy compassion sense of FAIRNESS and reciprocity



YES by means of Argument i can demonstrate many of the 613 laws of Moses are harmful to Human Well BEING unjust unfair and immoral Many of the Stories in the Bible are descriptions of TRIBALISM .



TRIBALISM is defined as loyalty to a tribe or social group especially when combined with strong NEGATIVE feeling for people outside the group



I can give a single example To stone to death a man picking up sticks on a specific day of the week ..... is the man picking up sticks HARMING anyone HARM defined as causing physical injury especially that which is deliberately inflicted as in legal term with INTENT



. so picking up sticks does physical injury to another person ? NO . yet Moses laws declares that action picking up sticks requires that the man be stoned to DEATH Did anyone investigate why the man was picking up stick related to his human well being ? no is that WRONG Yes by my standards do i evaluate that as unjust detrimental to his physical well being do i find it unfair yes do i find the act of picking up sticks harmful to anyone NO

how is killing the man justified ? where is fairness and reciprocity

Answer 80

Heathen

Answer 81

Actually we can prove that the Bible is right. It's being done continually all the time -- in archeology. And in the chaos that ensued when France in their revolution, disavowed and burned their Bibles, as well as the chaos that is engulfing the Western world right now as they disavow Scripture also. No -- the Bible cannot be proven wrong, as it comes from God, a perfect Being, a Higher Being, not mankind. A person can convince themselves that it is wrong, but it cannot be proven wrong.

Answer 82

It can and HAS been proven wrong time and time again.

Answer 83

The new testament, damn right. The old testament is a little trickier, but as far as chronology goes, where it implies that the Earth is only 6000 years old, yeah, easy.

Answer 130

Not unless you can change history and archaeology.

Answer 131

God of the Bible can do what no other God can do declare the end from the beginning



Deutronomy 31 God declaring that Israel will break their covenant with God and God will forsake them for a period



4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.



15 And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.



16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.



17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?



18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.



19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.



20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.



21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.



22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.



23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.



24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,



25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,



26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.



27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death?



28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.



29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.



30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
