Okay. Your post came directly after my post. This is why it's important to quote people or at least use the mention feature; it's just good manners and gives people a chance to know they're being mentioned or replied to. Directing a post, especially an insulting post, at someone without mentioning them or quoting them is akin to whispering an insult under your breath as the other person walks away. It's tasteless and at least a little cowardly.

Each of the books were written by different men and placed in the Bible mostly by the date of it's writing. Some of the authors time lines over lapped so of coarse they were telling some of the same things. Another reason they were telling some of the same thing is because God was working through them to tell the Israelites what was going to happen to them because of their disobedience to God. Over lapping time lines with historical writers of any age will have similar stories, we just do not put those in history books. The Bible isn't a history book, though it does contain history of a people and their connections to other people and most certainly God. It wasn't the purpose of the original people who put the Biblical canon together to do anything other than present each book as it was written, apparently as they were reading and studying each book they realized that these stories were related within a certain time line ans saw no problem with this. The chronological Bible was put together to make it easier to understand for those who haven't studied the Bible in detail. The Bible is a completely true writing and no one as proven any of it to be false and they have had 2000 years to do so.No one has proved the claims of the Bible to be true. You can repeat this again and again but it doesn't make it any more true.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
