text: do you believe the bible is a work of fact or fiction? i asked this question a few days ago. i reworded it a bit this time. please don't send me bible scriptures while answering this question. you can send me all the scriptures you want but my question is, do you believe the bible is fact or fiction? i want to know what you think. tell me honestly and from your heart what you think. remember, if you believe what the bible says in that we are all born sinners and that we all are in fact sinners then you must believe that the bible was written by sinners. therefore, it is very much possible that some or many of the stories in the bible are simply taken from rumors at the time or stories that are partly true or just plain lies. if god, as the bible teaches us, is so mighty and powerful, then why is there a devil? why didn't or why doesn't god kill the devil off once and for all and rid us of evil? why does there even have to be a god? fact is that none of us living know for sure if there is a god, a devil, a heaven or a hell. it is a romantic novel.
