You can have your bad deeds blotted out of that book by accepting His Son Jesus as your Saviour. If not, they will still be there when you stand before God at the Great White Throne judgement to convict you on that day. Any mistakes in the bible are mistakes of the translators. When they found the Dead Sea Scrolls, it was proof that it was much the same as our bible today, correcting little mistakes that may have occurred over the years.


Where does it say it was written through God? The Gospels werent even written by first hand witnesses, they were written by educated people who were capable of writing and had talent for writing. Why didnt God just hand, say Matthew, a pen, and say "let there be stories" and suddenly the uneducated peasants could write stories for HIS bible. Instead he did it YOUR way? Why wouldnt he choose one of his Apostles to write it? Because they couldnt write? Why not let them be able to write?

Why not come at a time in History when everything could be recorded? If he performed a miracle today, we'd have our phones up watching it happen. Doesnt it strike you funny that He came at a time when anything could be believed?

I believe in God, But I have to ask for forgiveness of Him, because most of my belief comes out of fear of death and wanting it to be true, not because I have iron clad faith. And I suspect thats most people.

btw, The Dead Sea Scrolls have presented many biblical books, not all are included in The Bible

And Muslims and Hindus and Mormons all have Books that came from sources around the same time. Why is our book better than their's?
