There is no pride for Bible just in being an old and outmoded book

Thanks for your thoughtfulness on religion and spirituality. From looking at the oldest book in the world — the Bible,

Hi friend peacewithinreach

I don’t agree with you that the Bible is the oldest book in the world; it is I think a controversial subject. You may refer to wikipedia : “Hinduism is often regarded as the oldest religion in the world,[12] with roots tracing back to prehistoric times,[13] or 5000 years.”

This may require you a confirmation from the secular sources, which please do and confirm it with your research.

You may find that there are many claimants to it. The Hindus, the Buddhists, the Zoroastrians; may be many more.

You would please agree that there is no pride in being an old thing; if it loses it usefulness. Would you like to drink a cup of milk if you find it in an ancient monument? Perhaps you won’t; it must have become stale or poisonous.

The revealed books are for guidance; if the guidance has become diluted for any good reason; the book might have an academic utility but might have lost its utility as a code of life for many a reason. The book must be updated to reinstall life in it. A dead book that cannot solve the human corporeal, moral and spiritual problems is no good.

I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran and not as presented by Paul or the sinful scribes.

I think you would like to ride a new car instead of an old rusty and unreliable one.

I respect your religion; but this is my sincere view.

Thanks
