God didn't write the Bible, people did. So how do you know if the Bible is God's true word?

I have a gut feeling it is

Ludovica Because? 👸👸👸👸👸👸👸👸👸👸👸👸🙆🙅💁🙋💆💇💅👰🙎🙍👛👙👑💍💋❤️💄💔

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Daniel I'm pretty sure he didn't, and there's no proof that he did. Maybe people added a few things they thought were right, but God didn't want

👊Duchessjohanna👊I think believing in God is more than just the Bible. I'll be honest. I haven't read the bible, but I am a firm believer that there is a God. Many may say I'm not a real Christian for this reason, but I believe is God and I believe your fate after this life is determined by how you live. I don't think someone will go to hell for wearing a mixture of clothing fabrics (apparently a part of the bible says this is a sin). And I honestly don't believe gays go to hell. I think God is an accepting being who decides your fate on whether or not you lives a good life and was a good person. If you murdered someone or raped someone or committed some crime that deeply hurt another person, then yes, I think you'll go to hell.

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@👊Duchessjohanna👊 I hope it's like that and that's how I always imagined it, but you and me are making this assumption on how we /want/ the afterlife to be and what we think is right according to our morals. We have no proof that this is what God wants and we won't know until we die

👊Duchessjohanna👊@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 yes I agree. There is no way to tell, so in y opinion there's no real reason to dwell on it. We'll find out when the time is right.

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Ludovica That's so deep, man 😒

SakanaruIt was written by Aliens👽

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@👊Duchessjohanna👊 Fair enough

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@👊Duchessjohanna👊 Do you consider yourself to be part of a specific religious group like catholic, presbyterian, lutheran, etc.? Or are you just a believer/Christian in general

👊Duchessjohanna👊@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 technically, I was baptized as a Presbyterian but I haven't attended church since I was like 4. Mostly because it doesn't fit with my family's schedule. But I do believe in God.

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@👊Duchessjohanna👊 Okay, cool. I'm presbyterian too but I haven't gone to church in like 4 years, which isn't nearly as long as you haven't, but still

👊Duchessjohanna👊@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 yeah Idk i live in a family where religion was never really forced onto us. Like when my grandfather died my mom told us he was safe with god in heaven. But my parents were never real pushers when it came to religion.

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑Well that's a good thing. I think parents should expose their children to religion, but not force it on them

lovely-SarahI believe in god and Quran is his true words :):)

Sakanaru👽

Jesus H. Christ@Sakanaru 👽✌️

lovely-Sarah.......:........

pandappleGod used people to write his word. He spoke to them an they wrote.

Stillthatbritishpanda🐼Well, I don't care if god wrote a book made a really long time ago, cause I don't believe in it. Bhudda didn't make a book either, but I'm bhuddist anyways cause I believe in equality and peace and especially love.

Stillthatbritishpanda🐼To answer ur question, Miranda, I am a beginner bhuddist. I just started a few months ago, before that I was atheist. I found out that intense bhuddists are called monks, (the people who shave their heads and i don't know why), and they go to a sacred church-type thing where they pray to certain sculptures relating to Bhudda. I don't do that, I just look up into the sky and let my arms put as I cross my feet criss-cross. Then i close my eyes and breath. That's meditating, basically. ❤😊

Lexi😍I'm pretty sure one of gods deciples wrote it and God told him everything to right down

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@British-canadianpanda🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍁🍁🍁 I meditate too! I don't sit like that and I don't do it for religious purposes, but I still meditate lol

SakanaruMeditation is good....

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Sakanaru👽 It's awesome... You feel like you slept for days afterwards and you're really calm and your mind is completely clear. It's like refreshing your brain xD

Stillthatbritishpanda🐼@miranda yeah before I became a bhuddist I would do it while I did yoga. 😎

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@British-canadianpanda🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍁🍁🍁That's cool. I like the idea of Buddhism... It seems like a pretty open, free, tolerant, chill, and loving religion

Stillthatbritishpanda🐼Yah it is... Our main goal is to find peace and never to have fear. 😊

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@British-canadianpanda🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍁🍁🍁 That's awesome. I should look into it sometime

Stillthatbritishpanda🐼Uh huh

🎩Banter🎩most of christianity was decided upon in a meeting in ancient rome where they wrote the bible and created the religion they took and ancient egyptian sympol to create the cross as a symbol of christianity

Lexi😍@Llew lies

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Llew But some of the ideas they put into the Bible could be misinterpretations, then. For example, the homosexuality thing. They may have just made the assumption their supposed god would be against it when really he isn't. Ya know what I mean?

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 tht was a lie

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 What makes you say that?

Lexi😍wht. Llew said was a lie

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 it's true and most of the christianity holidays match ancient pagan holidays which was the main roman religion back then. Easter was originally a pagan holiday but they changed it to go with their new religion

🎩Banter🎩@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 ye i do it's like the constitution says all men have the right to bear arms. There are many different ways in which that could be interpreted

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 one of Gods deciples wrote it from hi toungeif I want to lern more about the religion either go to church of look online don't ask an app where people can write the own opinion freely I have a lot of testimonies that would make you believe in God

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 not saying it In a mean way

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 hang on now. People aren't allowed to write down their opinions and theories on this app freely? And we aren't dispproving ur God/gods we are simply discussing possible theories since itakes for an interesting, intellectual conversation

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 It's not just that I want to learn about it, I like to rest other people's knowledge, listen to new interpretations, hear opinions and thoughts besides my own, etc.

Lexi😍@Llew that's not what I said I'm saying people can say something lik um an example... God is Jesus' brother and he killed him... It's not true but a nonbeliever can think it's true when it's not and she could believe that and have a terrible opinion another the religion

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑Test* not rest

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 I never said I don't believe in God...

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 I never said that either

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 that's the thing, what u just said there is no proof to suggest it happened nor is there any to suggest that it hasn't. It is just assumed that that never was the situation

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 I just read ur first post and I say if u want an opinion besides ur own this is the place to do it so ok 😌

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 But you said "I have a lot of testimonies that would make you believe in God" which implies that I don't believe in God

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 I'm sorry I was gesturing to everyone

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 Oh okay, it's alright

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 i'm gonna guess ur a christian? Are u a believer in the sense that everything in the bible happened or that they are just stories with morals which can help lead u to a better person

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Llew I know you didn't ask me this, but I'm the second one you described

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 😊

🎩Banter🎩@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 thats ok its nice to know ur opinion as well. I know some people who believe the bible word for word and other who this it's just a book of guidance

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Llew I suppose they could be true because the possibilities are endless ^.^ but they could also be false, so I just take what I can from them- the morals you learn from the stories are more import than the stories themselves, in my opinion

🎩Banter🎩@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 i mean i think people take it to seriously when they go against gays because the bible says a man should lie down with a woman or something. I think in times like that people need to be more open minded about the bible

Lexi😍@Llew they really do they paint a bad picture of nonbelievers bcuz real Christians listen to the verse "don't hate the sinner hat the sin" I'm parafrasing

Lexi😍@Llew paint a bad pic of Christian sorry lol

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 it's ok i just think that some people take it to literally whilst forgetting what was socially acceptable then isn't anymore

Lexi😍@Llew huh? Can u say it in a different way pls I'm sorry

Lexi😍@Llew btw I'm 12

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 im saying whereas long long time ago it would have been frowned upon to be gay and to sleep with a member of the same sex wheras now it's accepted (except russia) to be gay. It's the same as women used to be excpected to stay at home and tend to their husbands now however they are more likely to lead their own lives

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 I agree with you about the "don't hate the sinner, hate the sin" thing. People should really follow that!

Lexi😍@Llew I can't see it

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑and you're right, it typically is the group of Christians that takes everything so literally who give Christians a bad reputation, like you said

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 basically it wasn't acceptable to be gay in those times whereas now people are more open minded about being gay

🎩Banter🎩times change basically

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Llew same with racism, but a few people don't seem to get that

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 ya I don't like them because it ruins our whole reputation because people don't want to join the religion because of them!

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 i dont think that christianity should be considered something to be joined like a group i think it's something that should be shared

Lexi😍@Llew your right like I said I'm only 12 I never really thought of that but that makes more sence

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 well yeah but dont feel like u have to agree with me or anything

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 Agreed! And a lot of atheists assume all Christains are dumb and don't think for themselves because they follow all the same rules without questioning it and believe in stories just because they are told to. Not all Christains are like that though. Some form their own opinions, question the information given to them, interpret things in different ways, see things as metaphors and not facts, etc.

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Llew An idea to be passed around, not a commitment or an entry to a cult

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 You seem pretty smart and open minded for only being 12, good for you!

🎩Banter🎩@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 a lot of the top scientists are religious people looking for evidence of some sort so they can understand the world better through either religion or science

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 thank you 😄

🎩Banter🎩can i just ask are u british, american or other?

Lexi😍@Llew America 👊🇺🇸

Lexi😍@Llew lol

🎩Banter🎩Oh cool so what grade are u in if ur twelve?

DanielStop commenting! I am listening to music right now and the comments keep stopping my music!

Lexi😍@Daniel lol sorry

DanielIt's okay

🎩Banter🎩@Daniel why dont u turn ur notifications off?

DanielI guess I can

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Daniel Cancel your notifications or whatever... I'm not tech savvy but there's something like that you can do

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑Oh nevermind lol I took too long

🎩Banter🎩@Daniel u could always join the conversation 😇

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑Sooo what were we talking about? I think it's amazing and awesome that people go to such lengths to find out the secrets in the world (scientists and whatnot) but I doubt anyone will ever succeed. I also think it's great when people try to link religion and science, instead of viewing them as two separate things. 12 year olds are in either 7th grade I think

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 ya I an sorry

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑Don't know why I said "either 7th grade" lol... I'm getting distracted by my homework

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 Sorry for what? It's all good! You're cool in my book

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 thnx finally so positivity in talking to my boyfriend on the verge of breaking up but I'm fine😌

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 Oh, that's rough. Did something happen between you guys?

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 he just stopped talking to me I'm best friends with his sister and they were like scenting he didn't like me for a longtime when I thought he did

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 They were like what?

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 lol sorry scheming

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 Oh. And you're dating him? Why would he date you if he isn't into you that way? I'm so confused xD

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 he says he used to like me

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 Oh alright, so the spark faded away. It really sucks when that happens, but it's usually best to end it there. When the spark is fading, it's very difficult to make it into a fire again (if you get my metaphor lol). I think, unless it's really really important to you for you two to keep dating, it's time to end it, recover, and meet some new people. This probably sounds awful now, but I assure I you'll move on and feel better

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 ok thnx for the metaphor it was actually cool lol👏

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 haha why thank you

Lexi😍#It's weird cuz when we sc he takes vids of "him" saying stuff but I just sounds like his sis and he never shows his face

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 his excuse is "oh we're twins" should j believe him

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑You receive videos from someone that claims it's him but his face never sows and it sounds like his sister? I would assume that's his sister...

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 ik but it sounds kinda like a boy but a 10 year old one he's 16

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑woah woah woah.... You're 12 and dating a 16 year old? And shouldn't you know your own boyfriend's voice xD or at least be able to tell it from a 10 year old boy voice lol

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 lol we txt

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 An online relationship with someone who is 4 years older than you?... This doesn't seem like a healthy relationship to be in. There's too many things against you :/

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 it's not online we kik so I'm not in danger or anything but I just broke u wit him anyway

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 Oh okay. Well I'm sorry :( and I hope you feel better about the whole thing soon

Lexi😍@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 it's oak I don't need one especially when he lives in the 🇬🇧 I live 🇺🇸

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@lexi😘 yea that's true

Ethanhey ladies, I'm available😉

👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@Ethan Good for you, man... xD

EthanYou're missing out

Lexi😍@Ethan baba lol

🎩Banter🎩@lexi😘 in my school we have the two year rule where t's accetable to go out as long as there is no more than a two year gap between u

Tardis900exactly what I've been saying

TheReal$oularhe explains what's happening now. He explained space long before that tech was around. And God just told them what to write for the God parts

🎩Banter🎩I think in a couple of centuries, people will worship harry potter. They'll find old texts about a boy who lived who does magic tricks (like jesus) and who defeated the "Dark Lord"

🎩Banter🎩plus there will be fanfiction to support the whole background like the psalms in the bible

Jesus H. Christ@🎩Llew🎩 Yay

Ethan@🎩Llew🎩 I'm going to have to start writing a book about Swiss cheese so that people will worship it in the future

Sakanaru@Ethan I already worship swiss cheese because I live off of Reuben hotdogs yummerz!

👊Duchessjohanna👊@🔱uranakaS🔱 bruh I was just about to say I already worship it XD

Sakanaru@Jesus H. Christ Hey youre back! Saw your show on History channel on the Shroud of Turin & how they recreated a 3 dimensional likeness of your face.
