Bible vs. Man
September 12, 2007
Let’s take an aside guys and examine this ‘religion‘ we are talking about.
The Bible says man is inadequate and needs Jesus to enter Heaven.
The Bible says that man cannot accomplish this by his own merits.
The Bible says that man must be a servant to others and give up of himself.
The Bible says that man cannot succumb to the desires of the flesh.
The Bible says that man cannot do many things that contradicts his inherent desires.
Man is selfish.
Man is inherently programmed to look out for number one.
Man desires worldly things, lusts for the opposite sex, and covets that which is not his.
Man will always adhere to the survival of the fittest; that’s just their way.
Man is prideful.
Man will not be told that they cannot do something.
Man always looks for the spotlight.
Man always looks for an easy out.
If man is inherently selfish, and man is inherently prideful, why would man write a book that states they cannot win? A book that states that they cannot do anything on their own merits and that they must succumb to others? Why would man write a book that contradicts their very nature? Why would man voluntarily make things hard for himself? It makes no sense! The Bible is a book that man could would not write. But we are told that it is God-breathed; that the words are spoken by God to man, transcribed to paper.
Of all the religions in the world, why would man choose the one religion that states beyond a doubt that there is not one single thing he can do on this earth that will guarantee him eternal happiness? Not one thing apart from accepting Christ and becoming a true believer. But alone, man can do nothing. Man is selfish! Given a state of total anarchy, man will look out for himself! Why then, write this book that tells man to serve their brothers, give of themselves, and be the good Samaritan? Given the choice, man would inherently want to let the next guy be the charity giver, lol.
Man’s very nature contradicts everything the Bible asks of man. Maybe religion is not supposed to be easy, but given the opportunity to write such a ‘manual to man,’ would man really restrict himself so voluntarily?

Got something to say?
[...] know the Bible let alone organized religion just knows that there is a Divine Creator is awesome. Comparing in previous posts, man’s nature to God’s word, I cannot help believe that the Bible was divinely inspired. [...]
