Yes it is. It also looks familiar, but I can't recall where I've seen something similar before. Perhaps the god Google can be of assistance.

Can you prove that it was?
Let's take a look at what kind of question you're asking.
It is a negative question, you are asking ME as though the burden of proof is on ME to prove that something which probably didn't happen, didn't happen. Tell me, how would you go about doing that? The question is retarded, it is the same sort of question as "Can anyone prove there is no teapot orbiting Jupiter".
Say I wanted to prove to you, that there is no teapot orbiting Jupiter, do you reasonably expect me to prove that to you?
The answer, in case you're too slow to grasp, is that no, expecting someone to prove a negative question is not reasonable. And in most cases near impossible.
You are asking the wrong types of questions. Instead of asking "Can you prove that it wasn't", instead ask "can you prove that it was". The latter is a reasonable expectation for a question. The former however is not.
May be the reason I asked the question was to show that a person may have believed they know everything about a subject when in contrast to reality they know little if anything and that believing they are certain is not right.
Besides perhaps things which are not may be shown to be not if I was seeking to know.
As an example. Does the U.S. government not not have a website ?

Coveredone, please try to stick to one topic. Throughout this thread you have asked questions, and then when you received those answers, you asked more unrelated questions. Try to stick to the original topic of the bible being a test. If you want to expand on that concept, that is fine. If you want to discuss something more, feel free to start another thread.

Stupid, stupid question. You don't know the first fucking thing about crypto do you?

Can you prove it was? What do you mean by encryption anyway?

Just for the lulz, here is an encrypted version of the Bible.

Will you give me your opinion or reason, reasons or proof ?
Yes, I believe so. They're written to test our common sense, intellect, grasp of reality, logic, patience, will and strength of character.
See what I did there? :-D

God - "Hmm I need to let humans know to be good for me. How should I do it?"
Angel - "You could go down there and be present in there lives in an obvious way"
God - "Nah. Instead I should deliver a message to a culture where most people cannot even read. Put it in an encrypted language to be written into a book many years later that will then be translated in to many languages and changed repeatedly over thousands of years. Also I make sure that book makes many claims that are completely wrong and contradictory."
*Angel Facepalms*
Angel - "Whatever God.."
God - "Then that way it will be like the most awesome test ever seems the average person will not be able to read and write for a few thousand years. This is clearly the best way to do it."
Angel - "Your brilliance knows no bounds...."
God -

Everyone,
I'm not sure how long you have to stop being punished by God.
I guess it is not wise to leave this in doubt.
Whilst I'm here to discuss this it may be your only opportunity in your life and you may experience a great shock in your soul after death of the physical body.
Perhaps knowledge of things is passed on by people and thats how we learn.
