Omg plz help me! What happened to the Bible as a result of the many attacks on it? *Use complete sentences*

The Bible’s Content

It is worth noting that the objections thus far have very little to do with what the Bible actually says.  They have been more about the history of the Bible or the transmission of the Bible.

But there’s a final category to consider, and this is a big one.  Many people know nothing about the Bible’s history or transmission.  Indeed, they may have never even thought about it.  But, they have read the Bible.  And they find what they read to be deeply problematic.

There are several objections people make to the Bible’s content.  Some think the Bible contradicts itself (or at least they have heard that it does).  For others, the Bible makes historical errors–it claims something happened a certain way when it didn’t.  And still for others, the Bible contains things that are just not possible (seas parting, people rising from the dead, etc.).

But a major reason people object to the Bible’s content is on moral grounds.  They find the teachings of the Bible to be bigoted, misogynistic, judgmental, or offensive.

In short, they just don’t like it.  For more on moral objections to the Bible, see here.

Conclusion

The purpose of this post has been simple, namely to lay out the three major categories of Bible objections.  I am convinced that just about any sort of objection can fall into one of these three areas.

It has not been my purpose here to answer these objections, but merely to help people understand them.  And understanding them is the first step to responding to them.
