Good Morning. Some thoughts.

There were 10 out of 12 apostles who died horrific torterous deaths and never once said that they made up the story about Jesus raising himself from the dead.

The other apostle that didn't die horrific death was John, but he was hung, boiled in oil and still lived and in the end they banished him to the island of Patmos.

The other apostle was Judas who killed himself after betraying Jesus.

So think about that. If you find it hard to believe in the GOD of the bible, these men KNEW Him and died testifying that truth

I don’t discredit Jesus existence but I have a hard time accepting we are to follow their rules. The Bible had to be approved my Cesar so it’s not the original text. It had to be edited and modified so 160 yrs after Jesus death it was put together in a manner the then king would approve. Could have easily been modified and it was it’s why the book of Enoch is not in it and why it’s on known or basphamy to consider Jesus and marry Magdalene a couple.
@userfawkes1105 What rules? Those who love jesus, follow him not because they have to, but they want to, out of their great love for him and what he did for them on the cross. It is never a forced thing. There is freedom in Christ.

Let's look to God's Word, to determine what the Bible is, not to man.

The Bible is the only book in all the world that can claim to be inspired, in the true meaning of the word. God is incapable of lying. He is sinless and no liar. The inspiration of the Bible means more than mere spiritual illumination and exultation, which comes to many people. The word "inspire" comes from a Latin word which means to "breathe on", or "breathe in". The Bible is inspired, in the sense that God did not entrust his Holy Word to just anyone. The Bible says that the Word was inspired by the Holy Spirit, giving HOLY men, what to write, who were "inbreathed" by the Holy Spirit.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable (to man) for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished (equipped) unto all good works." II Timothy 3:16-17. That's 2nd Timothy, chapter three, verses 16-17:

"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost". II Peter 1:21.

The Bible is the eternal, unchangeable, and infallible (incapable of making mistakes or being wrong) Word of God.

It's God who gives wisdom, upon asking. He says, "Be not wise in thine own eyes." Proverbs 3:7

James 1:5 - "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who gives liberally."

God's Word never says anything about Mary Magdalene and Jesus being a couple.
@LadyGrace I thought the Bible was written by people my bad didn’t know God himself wrote it and published it. 🤷‍♂️
