Theory: Satan Wrote The Bible

[InvisiblePinkUnicorn]

How do the Christians know that Satan did not write the bible?

For example, the official explanation for why there are so many dieties that predate Jesus that have so many similar elements (healing the sick, walking on water, born of a virgin, bron on Dec 25, was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, etc.) is that Satan KNEW that Jesus was coming so he created all of these prior false dieties in order to deceive humanity.

If what the church says in this area is true, how do they know that the Bible is not just another deception? Since Satan is supposed to be the great deceiver, what could be the greatest deception ever? What evidence do you have that your god and not Satan wrote the Bible? I suspect that the evidence for eatheir possibility is equal. (None.)

The evidence seems to support my hypothesis that fostering a false belief in Jesus as a god has been one of the best ways a malicious and powerful being could sow as much havok upon humanity as possible, with very little effort. How many bad things have happend in human history due to belief is Satan's book? The Dark Ages *ALONE* were "600 years of degenerate, inhuman behavior."** Point to a better example of a single writing that has inflicted more death, more destruction, a greater sense ill-will to others, a greater sense of unworthiness, guilt, and self-disgust. This evidence seems to support my hypothesis.

That this was done by writing about the apparently wonderfully peacefula nd kind and loving Jesus Christ is all the more sinister and diabolical. As they say about Satan, he will not come to you as an evil deamon, but as someone who seems to have the best intentions.

PS: You obviously can't use the text of the Bible to figure this one out, so please don't bother quoting it. We need some external measurements/logic to figure this one out!

How do the Christians know that Satan did not write the bible?

Because God did, or more correctly, He dictated it.

Case closed.

Do you have any more silly questions?

Re: Theory: Satan Wrote The Bible

Topic starter, you loose by default. The people here have a "set" of beliefs which they accept as "absolute truth".
1: God exists
2: God dictated the bible
3: Life after death exists
4: "we are better than you always and forever"

Can't argue with them about these points because they just, won't, listen.

Strange, you appear to have the exact same philosophy that you accuse us of:
1. You say God does not exist
2. You say the Bible is the work of man, not God
3. You say that life after death does NOT exist
4. You consider yourself intellectually superior

Whenever we try to tell you that God loves you and wants you to read the KJV 1611 Bible, you just won't listen.

Being familiar with every single atheist argument does not mean we are forced to agree with them. For example, every so often, an atheist comes in here with the "who created God" argument that I myself have personally refuted from 5 different angles already.

Perhaps if you get rid of your a priori assumption that you are right on the basis of being right, we can consider the question at hand.

Who is "We"? Are you possessed of Devils? Are you Legion?

If I can't use the text of the Bible, how would I know what it said? Can you prove anything textual without reference to the text? What is there to disprove if there is no text?

Typical atheist - all the old, old questions and no answers.

Ah, but see what you're doing here? You are casually placing a boundary condition that stacks the deck in favor of the argument you're trying to make. That's like asking a mathematician to explain why he likes math without using formulas.

You ignore the fact that people who believe don't do so on purely rational grounds but because they feel the presence of God. If you want to engage believers on a level playing field, that is something you can't brush aside. It will just lead to a situation of mutual misunderstanding where both sides walk away convinced the other won't or can't listen.

I refer you to research done by scientists on praying people: brain scans indicate that people who pray feel the presence of God and communicate with God in a way they would communicate with a person in the normal plane of existence. Now of course you can come in with a thought experiment a "prove" that God does not exist, but none of that will convince a believer. It would be like someone telling me that my father does not exist: "eh, but I just talked to him, how can you say he doesn't exist!"

As for the Bible......

We consider the Bible a rational and logical piece of work with wisdoms that can be scientifically and psychologically proven to make sense. We apply the laws of the Bible in our everyday lives and live great and moral lives.

We are 100% happy with our lives and with where we're going (Heaven). Thus we prove, by example, that the Bible is good for us.

Please do research: the dark ages were caused by catholics... and you KNOW what we think about the child molesting abomination that catholicism (hint: they're not Christian).

I don't know that it's the official explanation, since it's not in the Bible, but it certainly fits the data. I, however, think God just chose to come to Earth in a form that was familiar to contemporary views of stuff that a God should do, thereby avoiding the embarrassing possibility that Jesus would have come and not been able to gather his disciples. This is much like Jesus's miracles, which, the Bible tells us, he performed solely to fulfill the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament.

If what the church says in this area is true

What church is that?

Since Satan is supposed to be the great deceiver, what could be the greatest deception ever? What evidence do you have that your god and not Satan wrote the Bible?

Well, Satan wrote the Qu'ran (even the Mohammedians admit this), so we know what a book looks like when Satan wrote it. The Qu'ran is filled with bigotry, hatred, bloodshed, and mistreatment of women, whereas the Bible tells us that God is love. I doubt Satan could have written that God is love.

The Dark Ages *ALONE* were "600 years of degenerate, inhuman behavior.

I blame Augustine. That's what happens when people turn away from the Bible for moral guidance.

As they say about Satan, he will not come to you as an evil deamon, but as someone who seems to have the best intentions.

Who says that? It is true that "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14), but that does not mean that he will appear always as someone who seems to have good intentions.

You obviously can't use the text of the Bible to figure this one out, so please don't bother quoting it.

Nonsense! Do you really think Satan wrote the following?

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 1 Peter 5:8-9

Re: Theory: Satan Wrote The Bible

This person should be banned from the forum! To make such an absurd statement with no scripture to back it up is unforgivable! Unless of course they are talking about all the non 1611 KJV "bibles", and not the real Bible. Though Satan didn't necessarily write those other "bibles" he definitely played a part in their editing.

^Well said sir. IPU's theory is preposterous, it matter little who actually put the words onto paper, the point is that God dictated them.

Oh Dear Lord! This is sickening! BrittanKelton, if that is your name, may I remind you that this is not a forum for promoting the sins of atheism and that, as such you should be learning from the wisdom of God from True Christians and NOT gibbering idiots who will lead you to the Pit of Eternal Damnation and Torture!

I have given IPU negative rep and will continue to do so until you resist his blandishments!

You have added lying to list of sins sending your backside to Hell! How can you possibly be IPU's biggest fan, when you are obviously Satan's biggest fan?
