~ The Christian Bible ~ I beg you, my dear, thinking, reasonable Christian - ignore, just for a moment, the claims of divine authorship that are found in the bible, then ask yourself - is there any indication, any evidence at all, that the bible is the result of, or the product of, the mind of the Christian God? Please contemplate on that for a bit. ~ Then ask yourself ~ Isn't the simplest, most obvious explanation for the words found on the pages of the bible, (even the claims in the bible that the words contained there in are from God), is that the bible is very likely the product of the mind of men - nothing more, nothing less? I submit that it is perfectly reasonable to conclude that mere men wrote down: ~what they believed ~what they heard ~what they read elsewhere ~and in some cases, what they observed themselves Then eventually, some thousands of years ago, copies of these ancient documents found their way into the volume that today we call the "Holy Bible".
