I have lots of questions and need lots of answers

I believe in God I believe in Jesus and rely only on him for my salvation. Unfortunately I struggle with trusting the Bible. My mind sees things that cause me to question certain aspects and I’m looking to see what others opinion or knowledge is on this. For instance……

John chapter 7:46-53. How did the author whether it be John or someone else, how did he know? How did the author know exactly what was said and happened between the soldiers and the Pharisees?

God says that he inspired the Bible, and so it is Gods words in the Bible. And God knows everything. I believe it!

@Carazaa Which bible would that be?

Carazaa · F

@robb65 I read one Bible, The Holy Bible. I read it in English and I read it in Swedish.

@Carazaa I don't have one that contains both Swedish and English. I have two or three that have both the Hebrew and the English. Maybe I have the wrong one?

@Carazaa As it says in 1 Timothy 4:7 (NTE) =
"Keep well away from worthless myths, the sort of things some old women mumble on about. Go into training in godliness!"

@Diotrephes There you go 🙏. Stay away from myths! The Bible is inspired by Jesus, God in the flesh (John 1) And it is for every human being! It is not a myth. Stay away from myths!

@Carazaa If the Jesus character was still wiggling on the cross it might be believable.

@Diotrephes He rose from the grave and anyone doubting that just is uneducated, and lacking logic!

Will you please read the fairy tale? The Jesus character was never buried in the ground. His corpse was placed in a tomb above ground large enough to walk around in. The guy who owned the tomb probably stole the corpse and ate it because he wanted to gain eternal life. All he got was diarrhea.

@Diotrephes

Nope, wrong! Proof positive is that many hundreds of people would rather die than deny what they had seen. That is proof!

What did they see?

Jesus doing many miracles
Jesus raising people from the dead after rotting and stinking
Jesus himself being raised from the dead and rising up in the clouds and Jesus promising to come back to judge the living and the dead and making a new heaven and a new earth after the gospel has gone out to every nation.

@Carazaa The Jesus character never did anything godly. All of his so-called "miracles" were con games because of the time period. In the ancient past, guys like Moses and Elijah could get away with claims of doing all kinds of fantastic things. But the Jesus character lived in "modern" times so he couldn't do any similar things attributed to the old guys. As I've said before, if he was still wiggling on the cross you might have a case.
