the words have translated to ways easier for, lets say children to understand in children bibles. there are many different version all saying the same thing just using simpler words to get the message through.

religion of any type or aetheism is basically having faith in something that not many other people believe. and the torah is the first half of the bible. the new tesament is jesus' life on earth, the stories of his followers and desciples.

the bible says man or uses the word man meaning all human beings. jesus constantly spoke about equality and love for every single person no matter what they've done, who they are or where they come from. man=men and women. thats how they spoke back then. there are many women in the bible with amazingly important roles. some saved their country, some saved christians, some saved families. either way back then, that was society. u cant get mad at what society was before the rise of women's rights in america a few hundred years ago.

i understand completely what ur sayng, nd thank you so much for boldly answering back. im soo serious thank you. i appreciate the argument lol

i know what i believe in just like you know what you believe in . i guess thats what happens wen u hav freewill. we just hav to b open and respect all opinions.

We know it's not made up because there is scientific and archaelogical proof that many of the events in the Bible happened.

Humans were suppoed to be perfect, but Adam and Eve messed up in the garden by letting themselves believe Satan. That brought sin into the world, and God cannot be near sin. That's why he had to be separated from us until Jesus came. and if you don't accept Jesus, then you're still separated from God. Which means you can't get into heaven. Period.

You do know that the bible has been edited and changed thousands of times throughout history, right? You don't have to believe in the bible to believe in history. The 'history' may be just made up from a change. 

And whenever you read the bible, notice that they do not say many things about females. If god created us all equal, then shouldn't there be more references to old women in the bible. Shouldn't women be allowed to become priests? There are many contradictions in the bible, and that is just one of them. 

Also, the idea of the Christian god actually came from the Jewish god, because Christianity stemmed from Judaism. Not all of our knowledge came from the bible. Some comes from the Dead Sea Scrolls, others come from the Jewish Torah, and many other sources.

I agree with you in that we have to look deeper into things, and that is exactly what I am doing. Don't believe everything that is just written in it; look for the connections to different controversies and the history behind it, too. It will give you a whole new perspective. 

Open up MS Word or Open Office and use the spell checker and grammar check before posting an essay on a public website. It's really not that hard.

And I wasn't in a bad mood. I was being honest, fair, and critical. I'd love to read your essay and have a mature discussion if you'd just check your grammar and spelling.

Um that isnt right. You just totally dodged the question. Too hard for you to answer?
