What do modern Christians believe happened before the bible existed and before christ was born....I say this because, when I think of christianity, obviously it was a religion based on Christ, and there were so many religions existing before christianity.
So how do we expect other areas of the world to know of this christian god before his time, and before the time of his holy book?
I've honestly never heard this been brought up or talked about. Was just curious and wanted some others thoughts!
God revealed himself through his creation as attested to in the book of Romans Chap 1. Also, it seems that Adam would have orally handed down his knowledge through the family line. Abraham came from a pagan family and received direct revelation from God. From that point on the revelation was handed down from generation to generation. The pre-Christ believers anticipated the coming savior. Other parts of the world didn't know about him until the message was preached to them after Christ left the world.
Sorry but the bible is a fictional book - read genesis to prove it. TO claim that a god revealed himself - is simply a literary situation - nothing actually happened in reality because there is NO mention of this in the actual historical record of the time
THere are DOZENS of gods that can be proven to have actually existed on the earth - yours can't be. Why is that - yours just did not have that power!
