Jews and Christians: What book of the Bible would make a good short story?
Thursday, July 24th, 2008
Thorn Crown–Picture Me asked:
I had the idea today of writing a short story based on one of the books of the Bible. I was thinking of Ezra because I had just finished reading it.
It is about the Isrealites going from Babylonian captivity and rebuilding the Temple.

What do you think?
What other books of the Bible would make good stories?
(Besides the Gospels or Acts. I was thinking more of the OT)
Thank you to all!!!!

Are people who insist the bible is the absolute truth willingly handicapping themselves?

Desiree asked:
Every time these people encounter new information, they check it against the bible to see if it is acceptable as to be assumed as truth. That means even if they encounter something solid and tangible, if the bible denies its existence, so do these people! Even if it’s a bus doing 90mph heading straight for them, these people would deny it was real! So by stubbornly insisting that the bible is the infallible word of a god, these people are willingly allowing their lives to be affected in a negative way, aren’t they?

Do bible verses work like a hypnotists charm with Christians?

Desiree asked:
Maybe that’s why they’re always quoting bible verses to people for whom the bible is just so much myth and superstition; Christians get hypnotized when they hear bible verses so they think that it can hypnotize other people too…?

To all my friends and friendly enemies in Myths: Things are going to get really interesting. I’ve just gotten a copy of the Reference Bible I used 40 years ago to write a literature paper for a conference. The title is “The New Testament from 26 Translations.” CCCN-67-22689. The varience is just not quite astonishing, but very telling in an debate about veracity.
Greek was not the original language of the collection of memiors and letters called the Bible.
