Do you understand what you are saying? You are saying that you believe the bible was written by God because the bible says so.
Also think about the meaning of Scripture
Scripture, also called sacred scripture, the revered texts, or Holy Writ, of the world’s religions. Scriptures comprise a large part of the literature of the world. They vary greatly in form, volume, age, and degree of sacredness; but their common attribute is that their words are regarded by the devout as sacred. Sacred words differ from ordinary words in that they are believed either to possess and convey spiritual and magical powers or to be the means through which a divine being or other sacred reality is revealed in phrases and sentences full of power and truth.
I actually believe that God caused all scriptures to be written. Every thing that is is the work of God. In that way the Bible is no different than any thing else ever written.

Not correct. Because of the differences in languages some things can't be translated. Also, we are not talking about Greeks, we are talking about the peoples of Palestine. They spoke and wrote Greek if they were at all educated as it was the common language of the region and we are talking about the Greek language as it was then, not as it is today. Even the Romans in the region spoke Greek.
The idea of forever, infinity, something with no end is a more recent idea not an ancient one.

That is not true:
Parable:
A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of metaphorical analogy.
Take Hansel and Gretel as an example.

I am no Greek scholar
long ago I wanted to know
why the versions were different
Apparently Satan did it.
Over at BibleHub you can find Strong's KJV and read the Bible in Greek, find the slippery words, compare translations. Don't worry about pronouncing Greek, they had four dialects, they could not agree either. No capital letters, punctuation, spaces between the words, or verses.
AION (our eon) translates age or world
KOSMOS (the TV show) translates world
EIS TON AIONA Hebrews 5:6 translates forever
Google speaks Greek
punch in "translate aiona"
"In god"? And you "think" we Christians are cosmic zombie followers ... but you on the other hand, are not narcissistic like we are; do I have that right? Well ... okay, I get it. I think.
I mean, you believe no one can possibly know more about God than you. I have to admit that's an interesting point of view, one we've only seen a few dozen times before; you're obviously too smart for me to question further.
I won't bother to ask what certainties you base your beliefs on, nor how you derived your unique knowledge about the spiritual things of God.
I truly hope you enjoy THIS life but ... remember, this life won't last forever!
For as long as there has been time there has been God. Before that there was nothing, no God, no void, no time, nothing. God created all that is including God. I don't know how or if it will come to an end.
Why do you think that God will exist into eternity. If the universe collapses back into a singularity and disappears, what do you think happens to God? I am not saying that is what I think will happen but it is a possibility.

I do not belive in the hell and brimstone of the bible.
I bielve these threats are told by self rightious pious men who get off on condeming others for what they precive to be sinfull.
Do as i do, think like i think, pray this way or you will go to hell.
Its the same as muslium and all other religons .
Hell is about control and using fear of pain to control the sheep.
My op when you die you, will be shown your life and the suffuring you caused others. You will be made to know the pain you have caused.
And when you can forgive yourself. You will be free to move on to the next part.
Any god worth beliving in would not throw away a soul becase its stained.
The fact that we have bible thumpers stating that "it is writen, therfore must be truth." Need to read some scfi once in a while.
We humans have vivid imaginations.

i believe you are wrong on all you believe. christianity is the only way because our God is the only one that has risen from the grave. all other gods are still in their graves, or made out of stone that have ears and cannot hear or eyes and cannot see. and He (Jesus) is the one that told us what hell is like. if you don't believe Him then your hope is in vain.
The last thing the devil wants us to belive in is heaven and hell, God and Satan, good and evil. The discussion here is not about pious proclamations by mere men, but men showing what God says in the Bible as an answer to who ask or doubt. Think of it like going to the instruction manual for the answer on how something works.
God is eternal. That is a difficult fact for us to grasp from a finite, human perspective. "Before the mountains were born, Or Thou didst give birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God." - Psalm 90:2
To cite what human scholars, experts, feelings, opinions and human beliefs say to refute The Bible is just what the devil wants. It is his "modus operandi". He has used it as a weapon for millenium. "Yea, hath God said?" (Genesis 3:1) The devil casts doubt, he misquotes what God says and he deceives people to drive a division between man and God. Christ came to reconcile mankind to God. (Matthew 18:11)
"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." - Psalm 34:8
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.” - Ronald Reagan
Blind faith with-out thought is sad.
You are sad to codem another human just because they diagaree woth you.
You have proven my point, that you cannot hold a debate without condeming someone to hell to prove your point.
I do hope you feel better about yourself.
The op started this topic to ask our opinions on the subject. Wich i gave, you are free to disregard my opions as I am free to ingore yours.
Unleas you a muslim then you need to kill me as im a non beliver.
