It's a word of God. A food for our soul and a mirror of our life.

looks like that atheist that wanted to get banned and got his wishes made his way back to troll some more.

the slight difference between britney spears and the Bible, is that britney had a #1 spot for about a year, the Bible has been standing for a couple thousand years, for example.
Yeah cos there's only 1 atheist in the world :/

Plus popularity does not equal truth. You would still believe to be true if it only sold 5 copies yes?

The Bible is God's revelation to man of information man is not capable of discovering on his own. God did not have to write a science book or a grammar book, we are capable of discovering these facts on our own. We are not capable of discovering how to live on our own. If we were, this scripture would not be true...

Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

The bible is about God’s holiness and His plan to restore fallen humanity through Jesus consequently, the entire bible centers on the person of Jesus. I like this acronym: Believer’s Instruction Before Leaving Earth; it reveals God’s will for our daily living.

A history of God's people, and God's instructions to his people.

The message that is summed up in:
We are all sinners, sin cannot be in the presence of God, God loves us so much that Jesus was sent to die for our sins.

Britney Spears was the number 1 selling artist at one time, and also became quite hated too.
ROFL.

Ummm... the bible wasn't the best selling book for a few weeks.

It is the best selling, and most widely read book, of all time... on the planet.

It is also the most well attested book from ancient history, with far more manuscripts surviving than any other book from ancient history.

Those facts, by themselves, don't make it "divinely inspired".
But those facts do make it unique among all books the human race has ever produced.
It should at least give a person reason to give the Bible some serious consideration.

The ONLY thing that sounds to good to be true, that really is true.

The bible is the written testament of our LORD God Yahoshua (Jesus) Christ, He it is, that was sent from God the Father
John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

but you might turn around and say many scientists believe in Evolution, I hope you don't use that arguments

Also, I didn't say that was definitive evidence for the Bible being the Word of god

part of the fruit of God which we eat of to nourish our spirit
so that we may have the substance of things hoped for

Matthew 4:4
It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Lol no I wasn't going that route. Was just saying popularity is no sign of truth (or talent in Britneys case) :)

It's God's great textbook with love letters strategically placed for us to find when we study it. Just like from a husband to his beloved or a father to his son. It has history, philosophy, love, instruction, warning, encouragement, and blessing after blessing.

The Bible is Secular:
It is a record of past history and man's activities

The Bible is Sacred:
It is a record of all of the miraculous that occurred.

The Bible is Redemptive:
It is the record of God's CONSTANT work to redeem mankind from their sin.

The Bible is about life. Is a book that everyone can identifie with. A book that we mustn't just read but live. The Bible is like a recipe for happiness.
