Re: Is the Bible incomplete?
Yeah, and this is exactly why I'm wondering why some people find the book offensive and out of context. In fact, I've seen some get angry because it's not compliant with the Christian teachings.Sushan wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 21:48Yes, the author has not left any space to anyone to be confusedJM Reviews wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 08:39Furthermore, he made it clear that this is purely a work of fictional. I don't see any problem with the book.Cynthia_Oluchi wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 02:18 It can't be! What the author did is understandable— throw light to the stories.

Yes, and for entertainment too. We shouldn't take the book literally and too serious. At least the author used his imaginations to entertain us.Sushan wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 21:47No need to replace what you already know. The imagination is only needed for the facts that you don't knowJM Reviews wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 08:35That's right. But I don't think the author intended that the readers use their imaginations to come up with stories that would replace the biblical ones.B Creech wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 04:36
I believe it would be difficult to ignore the connection of this book to the Bible since the stories the author has expanded on are Bible stories. I agree the book is not meant to replace the Bible, but it is thought-provoking and encourages the reader to use their own imagination.

It's complete if you see it in the spiritual perspective. But it doesn't cover all the events. Eventwise, it's incomplete.Sushan wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 21:38Well, that is a fair point. But those important points have very lengthy gaps in between each of them, and that was the reason for my humble questionJM Reviews wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 02:19This is why I insist that the Bible only covers the important parts. Not everything could fit in.

Yeah, and that's where our author here has chipped in with his imaginations and created this amazing book.Sushan wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 21:36That is acceptable. The bible is complete up to the extent that the church wanted it to be. The rest is left for imaginingJM Reviews wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 02:17I agree with you. The Bible mostly record events that are considered impactful. The minor details were intentionally omitted. But this doesn't mean it's incomplete. In fact, it is as complete as they wanted it to be.Readerjorge wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 18:36 The Bible refers to facts but does not always put all the details. This does not mean that it is incomplete. We must understand that the wisdom of God is higher than that of humans. Surely there is an intention that we do not know.

Absolutely correct. the bible's significance is the key.Officialboluwatife wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 16:04 Seeing the book is presented as fiction, I see no reason for the comparison. As Christians, I don't think our mind should be after the completeness of the bible. Rather it should be about the significance of the bible we have at hand in our life.

Exactly! God wants us to study it, not just read it! The Buble is how God speaks to us.Sushan wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 21:43That is very true.

What if we just view this book as a standalone fiction? Like we completely ignore its connection with the Bible? I agree that we shouldn't add anything to the Bible. But this is a fictional book that isn't meant to replace the Bible.

My thoughts exactly. The author's intention was never to have the book viewed as a continuation of the Bible but as a thought-provoking fictional entity. That's my opinion anyway.

I agree one hundred percent. It makes no sense for a Christian to think that the Bible could be incomplete.
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!
Emily Dickinson
