I don't care what the bible says!It was written by a bunch of sand monkeys that wiped their asses with their hands, sexually mutilated their male babies for no rational reason and sold their daughters like cattle!The only place that the bible belongs is at the bottom of an outhouse!Religion is the most successful con game in the history of the world!
The Bible is a collection of 66 books, written over a period of 1500 years by 42 different authors. The men (and two women) who authored the scripture were prophets, priests, kings, warriors, and apostles, all of whom were infinitely more intelligent than an uneducated modern day reprobate who obviously has no clue of the health benefits and spiritual significance of male circumcision.
There are over 400 Messianic prophesies in the OT dating back to the book of Genesis, all of which combined describe the entire life and mission of Jesus, the Messiah--including where He would be born and to whom, what His physical characteristics would be, how He would be received, the message He would bring, that He would be betrayed by a disciple, and the place and manner of His death.
600 years before Christ was born, the great prophet, Isaiah, had this to say about him:
he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed.Based on extensive research, the Bible is the best selling and most widely distributed book in human history, the Bible's sales and distribution exceeds the second best seller 6.5 times. The Guinness book of World Records concurs and puts the number of Bibles printed between 1815 and 1975 at 2.5 billion, but more recent estimates put the number at more than 5 billion.
With 800 million distributed or sold,
Quotations from the Works of Mao Zedong, is a distant second to the Bible. Perhaps you should just stick with Mao's Little Red Book rather than reveal your ignorance of Biblical scripture, along with your truly nasty attitude toward 32% of the world population.
