Is the Bible a false doctrine?

It was supposedly dictated by God and written by man. But why do these people get to hear God and we don't. I would say compared to back then and now, we have seen worse things. Besides, what would you say about someone who claims to hear God or Jesus talk to them? You'd say they're crazy or even the anti-Christ. So why don't we refer to those who wrote the Bible as crazy?


Please don't say you hear God, you're probably crazy.Is the Bible a false doctrine?
No.Is the Bible a false doctrine?
You've got an odd standard there.





If someone claims to hear from God, are they automatically crazy? If so, you're a bad scientist; you're making judgments prior to evaluating the evidence.





If someone claims to hear from God and can demonstrate an accurate knowledge of events to come, it certainly lends credibility to their claim. The Bible's standard is 100% accuracy for predictions. Miss one, and you automatically don't speak for God, according to scripture. So the Bible collapses under its own weight, if that's true and the Bible is proven to be incorrect.





But 3000 years after the first books were written, it's still going strong.
There is no reason to believe that the Bible is the word of God. It contains much that is contrary to fact, and it also narrates stories of reprehensible conduct supposedly committed at the order of God. The evidence is that much of the Old Testament was written long after the events described therein, and that its authors wrote a revisionist view of their history. There is also considerable evidence that much of the narrative of the New Testament is untrustworthy.





There is a much better book than the one you provided the link to. It is The Biblical Cosmos Versus Modern Cosmology: Why the Bible is Not the Word of God, by David Presutta. It goes into much of what I said above. I don't see how anyone objectively reading this book could come away believing that the Bible is the word of God.
The Bible is what we use to judge all other doctrines.





If someone claims to hear God, we judge what they say by the Bible as instructed to in 1 Corinthians chapter 14.





There are two ways to tell if someone really hears from God or not.





One is to compare their teaching with the Bible, the Written Word of God.





The other is to see if they make predictions and if those predictions come true or not.





If someone really does hear from God, their predictions will all come to pass.





If not, you know the person is fake or a fraud.





Today, the most common way God talks to all of us is through the pages of the Bible.
No the bible is the inerrant inspired word of God.





The reason most people today don't hear God is because they don't pay any attention- they've got the wrong radio station tuned in so to speak. You've got to be tuned in to God to hear him speak.
The Bible is, indeed, the Word of God. You will never hear God when you're constantly mocking Him. Why WOULD He want to talk to someone who acts as though they hate God?





As I continue reading your rant, I see you are rather arrogant and presumptuous. Just because YOU can't hear from God, doesn't mean that God doesn't speak to those who ARE listening! The universe doesn't run on YOUR thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes. You are NOT the center of the universe, and Truth has been here long before YOU ever existed, and will continue to exist long after you're gone! So don't assume that people who hear from God are crazy - perhaps YOU are the crazy one for NOT hearing?
It was written by people who claimed somebody else heard from God and this is what God said. The people who wrote the bible had no authority to be quoting God. As for talking to God or dead people it will not be the first time but it is just as imagined.
';Please don't say you hear God, you're probably crazy.';





Well, a lot of people do claim to hear God today, however since that answer is not allowed, there is no way to satisfy this question other than just saying ';you have to have faith';.





Basically you were just posting your opinion disguised as a question.
I dont know darling... Its really hard for me to ask the author as hes a little rusty...





Im no bible basher, I believe in god, any god or all gods...





I classify being religious as being a good person... Im simple words do good, help people and be a good person... Everyone followed that simple sentence we wouldnt want to go to heaven or watever because it would be so good down here!





And yes god does speak to you... Every time you make a great decision or everytime you stop yourself from doing something bad - that is god... No one actually sat down and had a starbucks with him/her/it
Why would God bother to talk to us today? We don't listen to what He has already said. If we are not obeying what He has said, what makes you think we will obey something if He said it now.





The Bible is true, thus it would be true doctrine.
Because God doesnt talk to people anymore, their are over 2.1 million christians in the world, theres no need to... and he probably does talk to SOME people, but like you said, people think their crazy.
According to most religions, there is usually a time of prophecy and a time that prophecy is lost. That is why most ';heard'; G-d then, but not now.





Some sects do believe that people hear G-d today, i.e. speaking in tongues and the like.
I hear God, especially when good thoughts comes to my mind. Its Him, talking to me.





And i hear satan too, he usually send me bad thoughts like ';Please don't say you hear God, you're probably crazy.';
No! Anybody who studied the Holy Bible roots or history never say it was a false doctrine... If we talk about the Bible then we can say I read God's Words; It is better to say that, than just hearing it... to someone else...
if this were your first occasion to know of such an instance, you may go to the book of Acts, and read of Saul's (Paul) conversion
No. John 17:17--Thy word (God's word) is truth.

No more than any book written by man.
No more than the lord of the rings.
God is the author of Sacred Scripture. The divinely revealed realities, which are contained and presented in the text of Sacred Scripture, have been written down under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. For Holy Mother Church, relying on the faith of the apostolic age, accepts as sacred and canonical the books of the Old and the New Testaments, whole and entire, with all their parts, on the grounds that, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author and have been handed on as such to the Church herself.





God inspired the human authors of the sacred books. To compose the sacred books, God chose certain men who, all the while he employed them in this task, made full use of their own faculties and powers so that, though he acted in them and by them, it was as true authors that they consigned to writing whatever he wanted written, and no more.





The inspired books teach the truth. Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit, we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures.





Still, the Christian faith is not a ';religion of the book';. Christianity is the religion of the ';Word'; of God, a word which is not a written and mute word, but the Word which is incarnate and living. If the Scriptures are not to remain a dead letter, Christ, the eternal Word of the living God, must, through the Holy Spirit, open our minds to understand the Scriptures.





It was by the apostolic Tradition that the Church discerned which writings are to be included in the list of the sacred books. This complete list is called the canon of Scripture. It includes 46 books for the Old Testament, and 27 books for the New Testament.
