First, I would like to acknowledge the judges, organizers and boardmembers for allowing me here and debating in this forum.

Introduction
The word of God is true and is worth reading

__________________________________________________________________
There are many good reasons why the word of god is true and worth reading .
If words have meaning themselves and words have sound.
If Words define who we are, and the world we live in, and describe everything around us.
Wouldn’t those words initself be worth reading?
Words.
It is how we communicate pronuncicate and express feeling, explanation and thought.
In order to define meaning into written language and express and communicate, God, inspired men to write down words throughout His-Story in order to prove his love and promise to mankind in a letter, the bible, the written word of god.

It is still the number one best seller of all time and the only one of its kind. If read with seriousness in heart and applied through discipline one may find answers of life’s many questions. The bible was originally written in the Hebrew language, the Old Testament. The New Testament in Greek there is no other book like it and its harmonious reproof within its pages. In fact the last book called revelation literally means “to be revealed” is still not yet have taken place in our life time but according to scripture it will and proceeds to warn us and provide us with great knowledge so mankind can detect and prepare to change whatever is necessary to avoid those circumstances if he so well chooses. There is no other book that took so long to complete or took so many lives to have it available to every man.

God has revealed Himself in the Bible without error. The Bible itself claims this inerrancy (2 Timothy 3:16-17 (4); Matthew 5:18 (5); etc.). Let's look at some of the proofs for the Bible's claim to be the infallible word of God.

Now, before I post, respect the fact that it is my first ever debate, and quite a hard one at that, and I don't have alot of spare times, with all my homework anyway...

Is the Bible the word of God?

Before We can debate this, we must consider one huge factor. God. Throughout history mankind has sought God.
Sought to find some proof, some indication, some hope, that God exsists. Despite all the hope and believe,
the search still goes on today. I believe that the Bible is NOT the word of God.

Now, if you know any history at all, you know Christianity and the Bible has not only failed to maintain peace,
you know they have been entirely responsible for the most bloody and unnecessary wars of history. You know all
the Crusades were pure Christian aggressions. You know the crusaders, in spite of their devout faith in the Bible,
in prayer, in Christianity, and in their God, failed again and again to recapture the "Holy land." And true to their
Bible the Crusaders slaughtered men, women and children whenever they captured a city.

And yet Christians call the Bible "the word of God," and themselves "moral"
If you know any history at all you know when the Bible was established, and
Christianity had power, Christians tortured and murdered those who doubted or
disagreed with their Bible.


And yet Christians call the Bible "the word of God," and themselves "moral"

The Bible is not, AND CANNOT BE, "the word of God."

Abecrombie has asked for and been given an extension of 24 hours.

I strongly urge the judges as well as my opponent to find a bible and look up the verses. This would be
Fair to the fact that it is to easily quote out of text, abused by the speakers and taken for granted by the listener. For yourselves and mine, know that my source is a legit and solid one. Thank you.
2 Tim 3:16-
ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
Bodily post 1___________________________________________________________________________

Fact or Fiction –

Why wouldn’t it be the word of god? the holy bible took over threethousand years in the making to completion
For a theme of the many men who penned it, they all say the same message of the bible.
It is the word of god.

Even if it were a book based on a fictional story, it would still be considered Gods word and it would still be a benefit to enhancing sound thoughts and with all the readers would get its theme. Except people, do not argue over a dime store novel or a best seller such as a Steven king book. Right?

The bible also has written in several places for the reader to prove it to be true for themselves
Moreover, that the very contents are for instruction, correction and reproof and is profitable

_"Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.” —Proverbs 3:1, 2, 5, 6.
___________________________________________________________________________
A Promise is a Promise and a Lie is a Lie

God’s word is like a man when he says, “ I give you my word”.
What does that generally mean? It means a promise they will keep. In addition, by saying that they will give you their word phrase, it is a serious proclamation to the person they are promising to.

Same as the bible, it is a personal letter, a promise from god, god’s promise to us, and for a reason.
I bet you know the answer to this one?
It is obvious that it is not all peaches and cream today in life, as we know it. Right?
Well the story of the surviving pages within the Holy Scriptures is here for us to be taken seriously and to promise us salvation and victory over death and suffering.

Religion and politics have rule over the earth it occupies our time and interest, but war has been on the rise more and more death suffering and pain. Why? This is in the very bible itself. The bible is a letter from our father trying to communicate with his creation, humankind. He loves us and gave us the only begotten son for a ransom to fight for our free will and prove the devil as a lier. There is a great injustice going on and for most if one does not search outside him for an answer not to another but another source outside in search of and the bible claims to be the word of god. Would not then be an opinion of the reader if it were such a subject?
___________________________________________________________________________
ANSWERED Q:’S QUESTIONS ANSWERED?
People want answers to life’s important questions. They are searching something that all would agree if it is god, …the bible is where you will find him. He writes a personal letter to creation of man.to tell us as his children the beginning, the original plan, he has a personal name and worship should be to him, he is battling the wickedness of satan, whom decided on his own to become a enemy of god, The battle goes on today and we are caught in the middle, why so long? The last book in the bible is revelation, which means to be revealed. We are as the bible reads in the process of its story, we are somewhere in revelations but we are told we will never know the exact day nor hour.
