Julle kan die debat volg by http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?214259-How-do-we-know-the-Bible-was-inspired-by-the-Good-guy maar ek sit dit sommer anyway hier onder.

Dis ook nogals iets wat ek al aan gedink het, en is ook seker 'n moontlikheid. Dis nie so goed geskryf nie, en die skrywer wou obviously bietjie stir....maar steeds goed.

So how do we actually know the Bible was inspired by God, and not the Devil in disguise ?
Who inspired the writers of the the various books of the Bible ?

If the Bible is really divinely inspired, and it is a book about Gods love towards man, why isnt it a little clearer, why all the ambiguity, double talk and fear inducing wrath.
Why does it focus so much on sin and not love, why does it pour so much wording into the evil deeds of men and not into the good.
Why is it that throughout the Bible, it is always God who is doing the smitting and wiping out, as compared to the Devil, who hardly features.
God , some 3million people to his credit, the Devil a dozen or so.
Why create this fear of God and his wrath instead of engendering feelings of love towards him ?

Its written like a bad version of child phsychology: Where God is being portrayed as the ultimate parent, and we humans are the children who dont really fear punishment for bad things , but rather fear the loss of love of the parent. And therefore do what we are instructed to do by various "spokemen" for God, to ensure we regain this "lost love".

So what if Satan/The Devil really tired of trying to corrupt individuals, and hit on this idea of mass corruption.
What a better way than geting your victims to do your work for you.
He disguises himself as God,(after all, he is the ultimate trickster) and inspires certain individuals to write down these half truths and confusing texts, knowing that outright lies are easier to spot than the half truth, and confusion is better than clarity, and then appeals to the ego, by saying those who believe are "special", "chosen", knowing that most people do like to see themselves as being better in some way than others.

All he has to do is convince some individuals that what they are writing is actually the word of God.
Better yet spread the word that anbody who opposes it follows Satan (the original meaning of the word oppose,adverse was satan), which grew to eventually become the ultimate opposition and was used as an excuse for hundreds of years to persecute, plunder, pillage and rape, all the very deeds that personify the evil intentions of the Devil himself.

The half truths, contradictions and ambiguities would start to do their work. People would interpret them differently, argue, and split into factions. Families would split. Villages would break into factions, with bitter hatred for one another. Whole countries would go to war over this purported "Bible." People would be tortured and murdered when they failed to follow this "Bible," even if they were trying to do their best, just because someone else interpreted the Bible's crazy laws differently.

Better yet, the fear inspired by Satan's Big Lie (about going to Hell if you don't believe) would cause good people to actually defend Satan's own writings.

So here we have a book, this "Bible", that has forged its place in history encouraging man to work against man, engendered hatred towards anyone who was different, or in opposition to its words, that has been used as an excuse to persecute, kill, torture, imprison and cause untold misery through histories dark pages, and yet it is refered to as being the "Good Book" ???

One can only wonder who actually inspired this.
