Jesus Bible Storybook
I need proof the bible is a historical text, not just a story.?
Can anyone tell me where any historical texts back up the stotries from the bible? Is jesus mentioned in any other historical texts? And why are none of the factual characters of history mentioned in the bible? For example Alexander "the great". He was busy conquering most of the middle east and asia during biblical times. Don't you think he would have been a pretty significant man to mention in the bible? The whole bible seems like a storybook to me. No more significant than the stories in the native american or Roman cultures, passed down from generation to generation. Or, is there some truth to those myths as well?
you have to understand the scriptures were writings that were focused on explaining divines plans and how they fit into the lives that they were written for.
So these are more views of the writters with quotes of the Divine and Jesus scattered through them.
If you look at the Gospel Of Thomas you will see the direct quotes from Jesus.
Proverbs is Saying from Solomans time.
Add on top of this that the bible was written in biblical script in Hebrew and Aramaic.
the Greek version are translations of the Aramaic and Hebrew.
if you read the Hebrew and Aramaic you will see how different it is compared to the Greek and all translation based on them.

The God of Jesus Christ $14.95 In this book of meditations, based on a series of homilies and meditations presented and compiled by the author shortly before he became Archbishop of Munich-Freising, in 1977, theologian Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) presents his profound thoughts on the nature and person of God, building a bridge between theology and spirituality as he makes wide use of the Sacred Scriptures to reveal the beauty and mystery of who God is. He writes about each of the three persons in the Holy Trinity, showing the different attributes of each person, and that ???God is three and God is one.??? ''God is"and the Christian faith adds: God is as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three and one. This is the very heart of Christianity, but it is so often shrouded in a silence born of perplexity. Has the Church perhaps gone one step too far here? Ought we not rather leave something so great and inaccessible as God in his inaccessibility? Can something like the Trinity have any real meaning for us? It is certainly true that the proposition that "God is three and God is one" is and remains the expression of his otherness, which is infinitely greater than us and transcends all our thinking and our existence. But, as Joseph Ratzinger shows, if this proposition meant nothing to us, it would not have been revealed! And as a matter of fact, it could be clothed in human language only because it had already penetrated human thinking and living to some extent. ' '"Without Jesus, we do not know what 'Father' truly is. This becomes visible in his prayer, which is the foundation of his being. A Jesus who was not continuously absorbed in the Father, and was not in continuous intimate communication with him, would be a completely different being from the Jesus of the Bible, the real Jesus of history- In Jesus' prayer, the Father becomes visible and Jesus makes himself known as the Son. The unity which this reveals is the Trinity. Accordingly, becoming a Christian means sharing in Jesus' prayer, entering into the model provided by his life, i.e. the model of prayer. Becomng a Christian means saying 'Father' with Jesus, and thus becoming a child, God's son"God"in the unity of the Spirit, who allows us to be ourselves and precisely in this way draws us into the unity of God. Being a Christian means looking at the world from this central point, which gives us freedom, hope, decisiveness, and consolation."' " Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) 'In this profound series of meditations, Ratzinger shows the enduring core of his theology. The future pope begins with an ancient Jewish story: The prophet Jeremiah and his son one day succeeded in creating a living man, through the correct combination of words and letters. ???Now that you are able to create a man, God is dead. My life is the death of God,??? the man says. Ratzinger then shows that man's knowledge of God depends on the relationship that a man establishes between himself and the world and his life; that |

The Bible and the Qur'an $12.95 In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, worldwide interest in Islam has reached an unprecedented peak. Thousands convert to Islam each year in the US alone, and sales of the Qur'an are very high. What do Christians need to know about the Qur'an? Fr. Jacques Jomier, O.P., has written a scholarly yet readable work that details the profound differences between Christian scripture and the Islamic sacred texts, differences that are too often glossed over by the mainstream media. Topics addressed include: Islamic teaching on Jesus and Mary; the universal mission of the Muslim; Jews, Christians and Islamic law. This book is a necessity for those who wish to understand the highly charged religious elements of the current conflict in the Middle East. ???Jomier carefully presents what the Qur'an teaches about the Hebrew and Christian bible. He contrasts the essential Muslim teachings with the Jewish and Christian understandings of themselves. Jomier is both sympathetic and critical. This is an excellent text in which to understand just what Islam means when it talks of Jewish or Christian sources in the light of its own traditions.??? "James Schall, S.J., Georgetown University Jacques Jomier, O.P. , served for many years as a missionary in the Middle East, gaining a unique inside view of the Muslim world. He was among the first to provide commentary on modern translations of the Qur'an, contributing greatly to the study of Islam. ' |
