The question should be, is the Bible obsolete?


The bible had been written for a very long time. My understanding is that the bible contains histories and people's way of life. Dealings with God and God's words. If i am correct...

Don't we need to write another bible?
Many new prophecies are on ground
Many scientific improvements that points to the existence of God.
For the coming generations that may find these histories hard to believe because of the new technology advancement they met.


If the new generation can't write a Bible, why?
Are the new generation of prophets and pastors lower fidel to older ones?

Rev 22:18–19.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I am not saying remove or add. I mean write a new one that will preach directly to the Modern bad vices like terrorism and "dirtiness due to holiness", e.t.c

Nigeria may even be included in the bible.
Many archeological newer facts will be included
(like the last pieces of Noah's ark found)
Covid19 plague and so on...

My question, can't the world come together to write a new bible for the modern world sake?
If you say Jesus is coming soon so no need, what if his coming is another 2000 years time?
Do we need a new modern Bible or not?


Updated: Many people saying the Bible is complete and everything to happen has been written...

Will man get to Mars?
Do the bible realise there are many earthlike planets?
What is the Bible perspectives on Brain preservation?

I just want to learn. lipsrsealed

Hi there.

Forgive my saying so, but I don't think you are looking to learn anything. Rather, it seems to me that you have a position that you are trying to sell to the rest of us.

To put it rather bluntly, you are not being truthful when you say, "I am not saying remove or add." Obviously, a new Bible would be a replacement for the old one, would it not? So, we would be removing the old one to add the new one to our experience.

As you obviously know, the Bible already prohibits such a thing.

89 Your word, LORD, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.
Psalms 119:89 (NIV)

The above is what the Bible says. If God's Word is eternal and stands firm in heaven, then it only follows that there is no replacing it.

Is the Bible obsolete? As the above verse says, no, it isn't. Does it account for events today? Yes, it does. Does it mention some of the things in our world today with specificity? No, it doesn't, but it also doesn't mention much from all the ages past with great specificity. The Bible offers eternal teaching that can be applied in every age. It was written to direct the Christian experience throughout human history.

Does it satisfy everyone? Of course not. Nor does it even try to. The Truth is the Truth. Anyone who bows to the Truth is blessed by it. Anyone who insists that the Truth must yield to them will be broken and destroyed by the Truth.

44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Matthew 21:44 (NIV) (compare Jeremiah 23:29)

So, I'm afraid you will have to manufacture your own Bible if you want. You wouldn't be the first. The Jehovah's Witnesses already did. The Mormons did. The Roman Catholics did. Muhammad did. There are so many "words of God" that have been written at all kinds of times to respond to the insufficiency or inadequacy of the Bible. Whether there is any safety in those "truths" will be seen by those who hold to these "improvements."

The Bible already contains everything that man needs to walk with God and live with God eternally. Other books can fulfill the purpose of geography, integrated science and programming.

LordReed:
A new Bible won't be written nor the current one added to because doing that will ruin the mystique of the Bible. The illusion of divine sanction of the text needs to be perpetuated for it to continue to be effective as an authoritative text for those that believe or else they become unchained from the religion that it is based on. This is why scientific findings are scoffed at because they break the illusion. For instance there is no archeological evidence the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt nor is there any evidence of the 40year Exodus. Stuff like this destroys the mystique so why would they encourage further illusion shattering findings to become integrated into their sacred texts?

There's nothing new under the sun. You're free to write books, there are millions of them written and being written by pastors, believers and unbelievers. All you need to go through from here to God is all in the Bible. If you have fresh news, post it. Remember one of your mentor jokers that vowed to erase Bible. His house was made Bible printing press.
Most scientists, doctors and professors are believers in God, nobody scoffs at science. People laugh at funny theories. We are yet to see any evidence for your great grandfather of just 300years ago, yet it doesn't mean he didn't exist. Nothing destroys the Truth of the Word of God.
