There's a bag of golf balls in my garage. Been there for years.
If I fetch one out and play golf with it today, does it magically become brand-new?

Still good value though, 39 books for the price of one.

A lot of the stories in the Bible are not original, it appears that the authors of the bible plagiarized stories from earlier religions and rewrote them.

Not to mention translating the original from Hebrew

The bible is a guide to better living and a source of wisdom.
Christianity is a result of its compilation and centred on one event, which took place once for all time.
John 6:44
It’s not compulsory to have faith, but difficult to prove
Hebrews 11:1
It’s focus is on the individual and open to their free will, and available for their whole lives.

So, if the bible is true and correct. What about other faiths? Who or what is right, or wrong? Any, none, all ?
I don't understand how you can believe only 1 source.
It is a long established means of control. A crutch.
You can live correctly with no religious belief whatsoever. Look at how some religious people are inherently racist. How does that tie in.
Religious types (all religions) are some of the most prejudiced on the planet, totally against what the religious books try and teach.
Is the church of england still 1 of the biggest property owners in the country. And preaches against homelessness?
all your arguments about the government and control by religious organisations are true and racism is with us as it always was.
what i have headlined above is that no one can prove the bible nor need to as any adherence to it is from a base of christian faith only...its not by an intellectual/scientific or theological tie..many christians are unable to deep thought through illness or birth defects...
other faiths have their own story bases which they are happy with and direct their thoughts, behaviour and lifestyles albeit in harmony with their christian counterparts
a religious group sect or cult can teach as they wish...it is the believer who discerns
not accepting is passive and isnt strengthened by argument..but weakened always looking for answers
a tug of war requires a minimum of two participants...if only one then they are holding the burden of a heavy rope.
you may have not read the quote John 6:44..but have picked up other quotations which pertain to your position relative to christianity, or not?
crutches today are necessary temporarily for those who find it difficult to walk on two feet unless they have lost a foot or leg in defence of their country, or by some other misfortune of life, even by their own hands
....its not a control device really but a help and comfort in times of need until they retain their full faculties
the one source christians believe in is a truth which falls into this category...the truth is the truth, even if no one believes in it
that is unchangeable truth and is not based on universal popularity, concensus of opinion, popularity, or fashionable world dictates.
regarding the financial aspect of churches...the ownership of material wealth needs to be activated by the root and branch of the institution
the book "In God's Name" would open your eyes and show just how corrupt the situation has become.
its worth a read...its not religious...quite the reverse...are you up to that challenge??!!!
best of luck
geof
ps..your name suggests a connection with israel?
A sensible reply, until you mentioned the bible and truth. Why is the bible true and any other religious belief/writings untrue? Other writings are older, I would suggest they would be more likely to be based on something, if you want to believe anything.
It is just a means of support for those unable or unwilling to stand on their own. A form of control, not for me thanks. Im agnostic, happy to believe if anything can be proven. Happy to not believe, and still live a correct life, without any artificial props.
And yafo means something (to me), nothing to do with any connection to anywhere or any belief.
You on the other hand just get on everyone's tits
