It's Holy because people believe it is. It's all about perception. |

Sigh...
This discourse i've had many a time with may people on may subjects but there is always either the athiest or the doubter in the back. The doubter I embrace but the athiest i hold close, Not because Im anti religious but because i pity him.
The book is in no way holy. The message written by men INFLUENCED BY GOD (these werent just joe schmoes writhing a story book)
The bible being called holy is traced back to when there were a scant few recorded in scrolls aging away in synagauges where only the religious leaders could read it, as opposed to now where 70% of america has one and 50% of thoes 70 keep them in a drawer or bookshelf never to see the light of day again. |

the Bible initially was holy because it was completely gods words sent to Jesus; years latter the, its been modefied by men for their own benefits (gain more money from poor and Innocent people). |

It's holy because it was written by men who were inspired by God. He dictated the words and they penned them. |

stupid questions.... don't you know that blasphemy is a sin? if you're aren't sure about your faith bud then consult counseling... take it this way... we don't know where it came from right? but we do know who were the writers of it! of course the apostles you SH1T HEAD! if i were to ask you about something "Are you sure that you are the son of your parents?" think about that! TRUST and FAITH brother... |

Big question. In order to plumb the depths of it you would have to be a scholar of ancient literature, an expert in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and completely objective.
I know of one scholar of ancient literature, who after years of study conluded the bible to be a "miracle" book to which no other ancient work, or religious writing was worthy of comparison.
60 plus books, 40 or so different authors, written in pieces over a period of approximately 4-6K years... and there is an incredible accuracy to it all, and an agreement between all of the books which is undeniable to an educated mind.
You decide if that is possible for any "un-holy" book. |

Yes. It is Holy because God is Holy and
the writers were inspired to write by
the spirit of God. Not one person could
have just made up all the stuff in the
Bible and made it come out right (by
that I mean prophecies of the Old TEsta-
ment being fulfilled in the New Testament,
etc). |

I think parts of it are holy, but some parts were made up scribes long ago to sort of embody the teachings of Jesus. There is a new book called "Misquoting Jesus" that discusses this belief. Also, the Roman Catholic Church was basically the center of stability for Europe in the middle ages, and it is possible that some of the Bible was created to try and keep the people under control. However, I believe the Bible is mostly holy, and I read and follow its teachings, even if parts are not originally from God. |
