Have you heard of the epic of gilgamesh? It tells all the same stories as the bible etc. Floods, angry gods and a creation story.
This text predates the bible et al by 1200 years. Worth a read if you get the chance.
As for science getting it wrong there have been countless times when what was thought to be true turned out not to be so.
However the difference between believing something is true and being able to test is something if true is where science and belief separate.
People believed that the world was flat until someone sailed around it.
The moon was made of cheese etc 😂👍
Edit typo
Right but that's not what you claimed...Your claim is, the bible was written by man and that means its faulty. Same reasoning with any piece of literature or science book in history. It's either, everything is false or there is truth in what man has written.
But as for my faith, I also consider Scripture to be the revealed Word of God and we see 2 Peter 1:21. Written by men, inspired by God.
Well aware of all the pagan history and claim of Christ was from ancient false religions. Like I mentioned above, I did my homework. I did not come to the faith blindly, and I had no baggage when God came knocking.
It's not my claim but the factual work of countless theologians who know the history of the bible and how it was compiled from disparate sources over the centuries.
Of course it is flawed as everything man made is flawed and faulty. The contradictory nature of the four gospels show us that alone
The current bible was put together in the 14th century. That's a long way from it's alleged origin and even further if you consider the epic of gilgamesh.
Sources were from oral stories as well as some early writings of the apostles. Most of the accounts of Jesus were transmitted orally and it was over a hundred years after his alleged existence that someone decided to write it down.
I've met many priests who privately don't believe a word of the bible but like the ideas contained within.
Remember the Muslims also claim that their holy book was dictated by God to Muhammad.
Coincidence? I think not.
Jesus Christ is a fascinating idea and it's a shame people don't follow the teachings that are ascribed to him whether or not he existed. There are good lessons to be learned.
I wonder what he would make of the current brands of so called Christianity.
They would be unrecognisable to any early Christian.
It was an interesting topic for what it's worth. 👍
