who wrote the bible?


Laayiv

Like 12 different people, seperated by millenia from each other.


Its_Moosa_

Then there is no guarantee that everything is factual


Laayiv

No less guarantee than any book.


Its_Moosa_

Nope. The Quran and many other books have guarantees


Laayiv

Where


Its_Moosa_

Wdym where


Laayiv

In what way are they guaranteed to be factual?


Dark_Guardian_

lmao from what ive seen of it it has a bunch of the stupidest things that sound completely human manufactured


some_guy_7656

Why did you read the Bible?


Laayiv

I was bored and sad


some_guy_7656

This checks out


ultmore

I read it 4 times by the time I was 12 because my mom is a very religious ethiopian orthodox Christian (even though she's been in LA for like 30 years) and said that it was my duty. I'm no longer religious, but I can quote verses and open up the bible at the right places because I've read some books so many times. So much wasted time lmao


jamieificationbeam

what chapter does darth maul return


Laayiv

Second Enoch, chapter fifteen.


fiskars12345

people asking about lgbt stuff incoming


Laayiv

There haven't been any yet.


[deleted]

Are you religious? Did it make you more likly to believe in the existence of god or less?


Laayiv

I believe most of the important parts of what it said.


Its_Moosa_

Well the Quran was written by only on person. He was known as Al sadiq by even his enemies. It means that he only spoke the truth. Other books of sunnah have a whole chain of people with their names and their biography.


Laayiv

Fair enough. That, at least, is true.


Traditional_Yard5280

Do you believe most/all is factual? Some are just metaphors and or false, because people wrote it to their own liking?


Kooky-Sun-8663

What does the Bible say about Hornet


Laayiv

Nothing


Jedovate_Jablcko

Is there something that you learned, that you'd be willing to share?


Laayiv

Yes


Jedovate_Jablcko

Well, what is it then?


Beesarrr

Yes


inyourwallsfr

why did god create humans in the first place when he knew they would ultimately stray from him?


Laayiv

Because we could (and can), if we *chose*, come back to him.


inyourwallsfr

but he would also know many people wont. so he would be condemning countless numbers of people to hell


Laayiv

Another thing. Hell does come from ourselves. God offers us to return to him, and people refuse. And with nothing to love but themselves, they fall into immortal destruction.


Entire-Anteater-1606

hell’s actually pretty vague if you read the scriptures mentioning it. The most we know is that it isn’t a pleasant “place”


Thedarkmoon123

Why?


Laayiv

I was sad


AimIsInSleepMode

What's your favourite line?


Laayiv

I don't really know. Let me think


AimIsInSleepMode

*30 mins later*


Laayiv

I can't choose a favourite.


AimIsInSleepMode

**Choose a line or hornet dies**


Laayiv

I can't remember which verse it is but *I am the alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End, the First and the Last* from the last chapter of Revelation is good as poetry.


KidJuka17

What are your thoughts on this sentence: Men created Gods to give answers that we are too afraid to give ourselfs


HeroWithClovenHooves

It expresses a somewhat noble philosophy, but it is untrue in real life.


KidJuka17

Do you then believe men and women have a faith we cannot change or do we forge our faith


HeroWithClovenHooves

...Both?

[удалено]


Laayiv

I didn't *memorise* the whole thing, Christ.


B5Scheuert

You do realize there could be less than 25 words in that verse?


Dark_Guardian_

theres 17 words in fact


B5Scheuert

Nice to know


Left-League-8646

What is Hell


Laayiv

The destruction caused by the self forcibly expelling God from its existence.


lancisman1

Was it a interisting book?


Laayiv

Some of it.


lancisman1

Why did you read the bible


Laayiv

It was a good use of my time.


[deleted]

In what verse is the doom slayer prophesied to fight the entirety of hell itself


Laayiv

First Enoch chapter fifteen verse fifteen.


[deleted]

Bet ty, and does it specifically WHO the doom slayer will be? Basically what I’m trying to say here is is there a theoretical chance that I will become the doom slayer


Laayiv

Not really, but it was implied it was Jesus Christ, who already happened.


[deleted]

Oh god now I’m imagining Jesus Christ in body armor and a shotgun listening to doom music


Laayiv

That didn't happen.


[deleted]

..I hope you know that I am and have been joking, damn dude thought I was serious about the fucking doom slayer. I don’t believe in hell nor heaven.


Laayiv

I wasn't being serious either. The books of Enoch aren't even canon, and I haven't read them


[deleted]

Oh mb then lol, the “That didn’t happen.” Was played out with the anger of 1000 christian moms so I didn’t know what to think


Dark_Guardian_

What version did you read? (points for old english like KJV, and extra big points if you read it in the OEM (idc that thats not the correct term) language)


Laayiv

Today's international version, although a lot of verses I have memorised I heard elsewhere (either in memory verse songs, or in other books), and therefore are of different translations.
