Yes, it's great. I feel better after I read it because I feel like I know more about life and God. |
| |
|

I have read it and it is awesome! |

No comparisons - except, perhaps, Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan. |

Taken as a whole is has to be;-)) |

It's the most stolen book in the world too. *define irony* |

The Bible itself is not a book but rather a series of books, poems, songs, and letters compiled
under one cover. This anthology is the best preserved ancient literature around and that alone
makes its value high. Through this anthology, some of the greatest archaeological discoveries have
been made among other things. Its value, in my opinion, cannot be measured. It has been the most
debated anthology in existence and it remains as strongly regarded today than any other literature.
What is most interesting about it, however, is the content and the fact that the anthology itself
speaks of itself. There is no comparison to the Bible. No other piece of literature has effected
the history of man like this has. Whether one views it in a positive light or a negative one, its
ability to stand against all other known pieces of literature cannot be denied. |

It is the best book ever...it is also the best selling book in Hx |

The bible is probably the largest compilation of incredible stories and ancient wisdom by very smart
writers. If wikipedia became a book it'd be better, but it's not.
I'm not religious at all. I don't believe it was divinely inspired. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Technically, yes, as it is the most sold Book ever. |
| |
|

The Bible is filled with rules which we are to live by. It tells of our salvation, and Jesus' love
for us. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes it is, it lead me to Christ and it gives me good advice |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes,it is the best.It leads people to christs. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The Bible is from God! Of course it is. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Yes the Bible is the greatest book ever published but people do not live by it. It informs everyone
how to live a good and decent life. GOD is great and there is not question or doubt about that.
Therefore, the Bible is the greatest book of all times. |

The bible is the best book ever because it teaches us morals and values teaches us how to live and
love and without it we as a people would be a lost cause. If you don't believe me look around you
God is everywhere. Look on American money "In God we trust" and our pledge to the flag and to GOD as
well as many prayers before important meetings in the white house take place |

I love Superlatives! Sure the Bible is pretty darned (I'm watching my expletives) good. I especially
like the parts about the meek shall inherit the earth, love your enemies, and letting your light
shining before men. And Exodus was a pretty cool action story. The parting of the Red Sea reminds me
of some of the really popular disaster movies that have come out in recent years - just in terms of
the catastrophic size of the event when an antire army and it's Pharaoh are sunk under a collapsing
ocean of water. |

You never know for sure.
I mean, there could have been a book written in 274 ad that nobody has ever read and it might have
been even better than the bible, or the stand, or your favourite book. |

I believe in God too, but the best book ever is 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

It's boring, pointless and doesn't have a very good ending. Plus, it isn't really all that
consistant throughout. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

The bible is the youngest of the holy books and so therefore is less reliable. |

Someone told me how it ends and it spoiled it for me. |

But does god have split personality disorder?
In the old testament, he is a revengeful man, willing to kill millions of people,
in the second he is forgiving, funny how Christians have stuck with the nicer personality of god.
Easier for them is it??? |

"i believe in god"
Whats your point? Maybe i believe in fairies and hippogryphs and dragons. Is hairy potter the best
book ever now? |
| |

Best selling book maybe but full of myths and legends. Stories and superstitions that no longer have
any place in society. And one of the most violent books most likely to cause division and conflict. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The teachings in the Bible have caused more religious persicution and death than in all wars disease
and accidents combined. So yeah it must be a good thing. (note my sarcasm) |
| |
|

|

Yea but you pay money for the bible. You pay money for a book that holds the so called truth.
Lol they just put a price on god. |

I think that Lord of the Rings is the better of the two fiction tales. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is the best selling fiction book of all times, however as I do not like fiction it is not my
favorite book, it has some good stories though. |
| |
|

You have obviously never read the da vinci code. (i don't believe that either but its a excellent
read) And before someone tells me to go read the bible i have, in three languages and at two
separate times in my life times. |

I spent more than half of my life believing the Bible, but I came to realize that it is nothing more
than many books written by humans more than 120 years after Jesus supposedly walked the earth. The
more I check information about other religions and archeology and stories about 'finding Noah's ark,
etc. , the more I realize that the Bible just happens to retell those stories not that God somehow
inspired men to write His words. When I know that the existing church during centuries since those
books were written was the Catholic church and their Pope, I believe the Bible is not "the inspired
Word of God."
It was the Pope's Canons, 4 of those committees, over 2 centuries, who decided which books would be
called "God's inspired Word." What made them so 'wise'...after all they disagreed 4 times until the
Pope of the time of the 4th Canon decided to let their decision be final. So, how can I believe any
of those decisions. The Popes were the "Generals" who caused hundreds of thousands of people to be
destroyed during the Crusades. They did it for at least a century as many different Popes sent
their armies to kill, kill, kill, the innocents and destroy some of the most wonderful, beautiful
city-states that included Constantinople.
Yes, the stories repeated in the New Testament teach lessons of kindness (The Good Samaritan), the
rich sharing their money with the poor, love of neighbors and all humanity, being peacemakers (so
unlike the Radical Christian Right of today), and many more lessons that everyone should know and be
applying just because it is the correct and right things to do. Those lessons are also taught by
other religions around the world, especially the Muslim's Koran, the peace of the Buddha, indigenous
people and their "Great Spirit" and other religions.
The Old Testament is supposedly the story of the God of the Jewish people, however, there's no doubt
that there is a lot of information there that is not their story. Many, many Books were not
included there: Example, the Book of Julia about 2 priests raping a young woman, and other books
that were rejected when the Canons were selective in their choices for the Old Testament. Preachers
and teachers are selective about the verses and chapters which they preach...when was the last time
that you heard a sermon from the Book of Solomon about Solomon's love for the breasts of his woman?
(teenagers always find those verses to chuckle at).
No, the Bible is not the best collection of books ever! Some of the chapters do teach good lessons,
but God, as God is understood sure didn't write it. Men did. Many books written by men and women
are boring, poorly written, 'pure hogwash,' so are not good books, just as many of the books of the
Bible. Anyone who thinks the Bible is 'the best book ever" should also read the Koran where they
find the same stories, heroes and ways of living with humanity.
There are many great books written that are fresh and new to every generation. Some are far more
interesting and better than the Bible.
I believe in God as I understand who God is. |

No it's not. It's got a few good yarns in it, but there are a mass of better books to read.
George Orwell - 1984. Stunning book.
God - The Bible - Bit dodgy. |

Good for you, doesn't mean that God is real. The Bible is an ancient book of mythology, nothing
more.
And yes, I have read the Bible, I've studied it in great detail. I'd bet you a billion dollars I
know it much, much, much better than you do in fact. |

It's full of empty claims that can't be followed through (ironic as that statement is). |
| |
|

Nah, "The Stand" is the best book ever. |
