If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

He could have included germ theory instead of talking about skin spot with or without hair.

He could have talked about cancer and prevented untold human suffering. Instead we get slavery sanctioned.

He could have talked about mathematics but no. He couldn鈥檛 even get ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter right. 1 Kings 7:23-26

I mean it is a big book and he supposedly knows everything, right? So what is the deal?

The bible is fiction. God is a fictional character.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

He didn't write the Bible. Blame the charlatans who did.

It's really quite useful for believers:

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

It is for those who have eyes to see and understand the meaning and those who have ears to hear the message to understand. And it is to protect the ones He calls from the ignorance of those who don't

exactly, and what about talking about dinosaurs... was that just like a hobby he had, or wait are there actually people that believe in a dinosaur god???? (don't want to insult them!)

what about the boat, that boat noah built. The bible also tells us that Jesus liked to party, (He turned water into wine at a wedding". Wine, things that float, good stuff

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

He made you to find everything for yourself. What is the point of living if every man knows everything? It is our purpose to use the intelligence he gave us to good use such as finding for ourselves what makes the world go round.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

You don't really care to know the answer to this question since you already assume that the Bible has nothing useful. You've already answered the question in your own mind.

Taking a stab at the Bible (and Jews and Christians for that matter) aside, the Bible is not a book of knowledge. That is not its intended purpose. It is not a book of history, though it does have true, accurate history in it. It is not a book of wisdom, though it does have much wisdom to offer. It is merely book demonstrating how God has tried to reach out to mankind--how mankind rejected Him, much like you are now, and how God still reaches out to mankind.

It is doubtful that you will read this and take much of it to heart, but it's the truth nonetheless.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

Your opinion is just that, we all have different definitions of "useful" as we have different interpretations of the Bible. He didnt intend to give us all the answers but He did give us the brains/resources and ability to seek them out, which we fail miserably at times. Good luck in finding the answers you are looking for!

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

The reason you dont know what you are talking about is because you dont know who God is evidently. If you did you would captilize His name at least and you would not talk down about Him. Its called respect for your obvious creator. I mean who are you? Did you create the world? How can YOU question God? You need to find out who He is and what He is all about before you stick your neck out too far. It could get chopped off.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

god didn't write it dumbass, so called "prophets" who talked to other "prophets" who later got handed down to priests who finally voted to see which pieces should remain in the bible.... and that's how it was made.

there are those 10 commandments as well... gives you a set of rules... ipersonally don't believe in all of them...especially all the 613 of them, but hey lots of them are good.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

I don't mean to be rude, but your question is overly-simplistic. You want answers spelled out like in a text book? Life doesn't work that way, kid.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

Is all that really important? Well, on the Math issue - if God (as you state) cannot get the circumference correct then why did He intervene in a 9 yr olds life so that child who was abused could create Calculus? Tell me about that one.....

Anyways, in the Bible it does state that the things of this world will all dissappear and therefore the only thing that will remain is God's word which is the truth.

In the Bible there are so many letters written to all people to deal with all sorts of issues that are dealt with today. The reason hardly anyone goes to the Bible is because nobody wants to take the time to discover what God has to offer to everyone. Every single situation is fully described within the covers of the Bible and if you do not think so, I would ask you to fully discover the promises of God and follow exactly what is written.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

He DOES know everything. Let's just take a deep breath and look at reality. God does not speak of such foolishness about math, cancer, or stuff like that because it has nothing to do with your salvation or your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He speaks in a language that we must come used to hearing. I don't mean another language, but he speaks the way God speaks. It US that can't comprehend it, at least not right off the bat, so we become angered and give up on God. This is why he says, "Only the ones who are faithful to the end shall be saved".

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

the bible is not a cheat book to give you every answer to any question you may ask. it is a letter to you. it instructs how to live. it is a moral reference.

i'm guessing you are another tree hugger that wants a hand-out. grow up. life is hard and if it were all peaches and cream none of us would grow and mature. trials give us motive to become better, or they show us for the deflated cowards we are.

which are you?

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

DONT SAY THAT, God included so many useful things about hope and faith. God does know everything, what would are life be if he gave us ALL the answers????

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

He did, but the dam churchies burned it all back when it was all collected in the great library of alexandria, TWICE!!!

The current version is a drastically raped version of a no longer existant text that had all sorts of usefull info like math, agriculture, science and self-healthcare among countless lost topics as well like pyramid building. Surely someone who recorded everything they obtained would include instuctions on thier architecture to say the least. I believe ALL religeon is false and meant to control lost and egotistical peoples. But knowledge and fact is the only true thing to have faith in but they don't want us thinking for ourselfs now do they!?!?

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

It's an Instruction manual for a relationship with GOD. It is not a text book. If it was it would be a lot larger. It does exactly what GOD intended it to do. It calls those who want to be with GOD to him and keeps those who do not away. Truly amazing book.

May GOD richly bless you.

If we are made in his image then why are we hung like a gerbile fat and siting next to old chicken wings and have crappy eyes?

Eagles eye optics are superior, most animals can walk at birth, yet our bodies are patheticly weak slow to mature poorly adapted to walking upright (Lower back pain any one?)

Well your sky daddy is one crappy engineer! I could have don a better job and all I do is design refrigeration systems!

As to you the question its obvius, god was retarded and dropped out of 'god school' so he never learned any of that stuff, so while stoned he just made up a bunch of crap and passed it off as real hoping we would never learn other wise. Unfortunatly he was such a loser he put a tree of knowledge in with the apes thinking it would be a good idea lmao (He forgot that he didn't want us to learn the trueth after all, what a twit eh?) and allas we learn't better and realized the whole storry was bullocks and moved on the point where we needed imaginary friends!

Well most people the rest seem to have a need to have an invisible friend, realy un healthy for an adult but what ever.

The existence of God is debatable . And when some evil terrorist

puts a gun in your face and a bullet in your brain your death will be debatable also .....this opinion is by no means to be affiliated and held as endorsed by the author it merely exists and is subject to any and all criticism anyway...this graphic comment is not in the bible either!

A means to an end! But not from God's point of view.

How do you know the cure for cancer has not been discovered and that MAN is holding it back for $$ reasons. The deal is we accept we have fallen from grace and God sent His Son to be a sacrifice so that those who accept this will have eternal life.

If god is omniscient why didn鈥檛 he have anything really useful included in the Bible?

Anyone who thinks they can judge God and what He does will not have a clue.You talk about God as if He is one of us. He is not and He does not half to answer to us for anything.

Dear Chaos, God has put Information in the BIble that is absolutly neccisary for your survival. One day you and I will Die, its no suprise 10 out of 10 die. when you die, you will stand before the God who created you and give an account of every thought word and deed. I would like to ask you a few questions......

Have you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; Have you ever hated someone%26gt; the BIBle says "he who hates his brother is a Murderer." have you always put God first in thought word and deed? if Not you have violated the second Commandment, because if God wasnt first, something else was, and thats called idolatry. have you always honored those responisble for raising you? Have you ever greediyl desired something that dosent belong to you? God requires absolute perfection in thought word and deed, he even requires truth in the inward parts. Keeping in mind Nothing you鈥檝e ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty. What are you going to do on judgement day? God has seen everything, and he will review your whole life. The BIble says that if God reviews you whole life and you stand before Him guilty, he will give you Justice and you will end up in hell for an eternity. Heres where the Important information comes in, The BIble says that while you are guilty, and God would give you Justice, God has provided a way for you to be forgiven. He sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death.

Your own so-called 鈥済oodness鈥?can鈥檛 get you into heaven any more than mine could. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name. Chaos, the BIBle says if you will repent (confess and forsake and turn from your sins) and put your full faith and trust in Jesus as Lord and savior, God will forgive you and grant you the gift of everlasting life. Now you know the truth, The BIble gives you the most important information for escaping death hell and the grave. The only question is what will we do with it.

God Bless
