Would the Bible or Koran exist if the respective authors had access to social media? [Spirituality & Religion]

@eMortal Actually it is a world wide collection of essays written over a period of about 4500 years with the writers attributions grossly applied to their collectors in some cases, the actual writers often unknown but vouched for by highly studied religious scholars numbering around 40.

By no measure of standard could they be called popular stories and were truly only known of by leading clerics in their time.

@SteelHands yes, many themes like the circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus have identical stories in ancient Egyptian mythology. And, the birth of a prophet or messiah without a father exists in Hinduism and Zorastrism long before Christianity.

@eMortal Right. And fifty thousand years ago the actual original one was recorded in a language only I can read as well.

Hahaa.

@SteelHands 😂

@eMortal Just kidding. Those other so called accounts might be claiming things that at the time had only been earlier prophesied in the old testament.

The number of precise documented prophesies that were checked off by the Nazerine accounts are startlingly numerous, however. The sheer number of them combined with their implausibility are too great to overlook if you have a mere particle of belief that the apostlistic accounts did their best to be factually and historically accurate.

The Son issued a deadly warning against embellishing or omitting anything he said or did. That alone adds credibility.

@eMortal The bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Greek word being "theopneustos", meaning "God-breathed", inspired by God, due to the inspiration of God. Words not entrusted to just any men, but to holy men of old, to write down under the direction and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Thank God, no one has to know how to read Greek, Hebrew, or any other language, in order to know how to be saved. Bible scholars have translated those languages, for us. Under the direction of men, yes, you're going to find spelling errors, translation errors, what have you, as man is flawed by sin, however, Jesus is without sin, perfect, and flawless. Man has tried to destroy His Word, burn it, deny it, mock it, ridicule it, yet it has survived all the way down through the ages, which in itself is a miracle, because while some papers may have been destroyed, God and His Word shall never pass away. So while we could dispute these things until we're blue in the face, let us not miss the main focus, which is how to get to heaven, because if we miss that important truth, we've missed everything. "For what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet loses his own soul?" Mark 8:36
