But the bible is just a book written by humans.

You seem upset.

It's okay, most people who have their first debate with me are like that the first time. 🙂

This might help. 👆

I didn't know we were debating. All you did was successfully drag me off topic. So let me present you with the question again.

What exactly is so fictional about the bible? What's so special about any doubt you may have, that should sway people that this story (never happened / is over and should only be used for such and such / completely disregarded / written off / etc) ?

Where do you get the idea that he has doubt. I can't speak for NemeBro, but I have no doubt. I know the bible is a collection of fictional stories mixed with governmental documents that describe how the Hebrews lived and worshiped.

No! It is inappropriate to call a work of fiction a lie.

Fiction is the form of any work that deals, in part or in whole, with information or events that are not real, but rather, imaginary and theoretical—that is, invented by the author.

Well, the compilation that I have access to says somewhere to let it be true, and let every man be a liar...

Do you take everything the government says to be absolute, or a book that's been around for ages? There's other people besides Hebrews portrayed in the book also.

Right and that is not a lie. To lie is too decisive, and a work of fiction does not try to decisive. If someone were to go around and say that Star Wars was the truth, then they would be lying.

The Bible would/could fall under "Fiction" then, at least certain parts.

Sorry but this statement doesn’t make any sense.

I know a lot about the bible.

The bible is a book of stories mixed with some Hebrew governmental documents. The bible is too complicated to sum up in one word.

My statement should make sense. In the Bible it says to let it be true, and every man a liar. Perhaps when I said compilation you got confused. Sometimes I wonder if there's more to the book somewhere...

Hopefully with that cleared up, my question still stands.

The bible is wrong. Also, to try and prove the bible true by using the bible as evidence is circular logic, and that proves nothing.

Your question is irrelevant. The diversity of the bible only proves its diversity.

I am not a Biblical scholar, so it's hard for me to point out what is and is not fictional within.

I can however say that all evidence dictates that the Earth took far longer than six days to create, for example, so that story is probably fictional. 👆

Nothing is special about it. If you choose to believe that the universe was "created", be it by God or not, hey man that's good for you. Just don't expect everyone to buy what you're selling. 👆

Also, is English your first language? Your posts are irritating to read.
