In respose to the challenge posed by Sidewalker, I've written the following comments:

My Dear Sidewalker,

The BIBLE is NOT a cookbook!

It is a book to reavel God's personality, creative power, compassion, and plans for everyone's salvation.

The BIBLE was written over a period of some 1,500 years, from around 1450 B.C. (the time of Moses) to about 100 A.D. (following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ).The Bible was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by over 40 different authors from all walks of life: shepherds, farmers, tent-makers, physicians, fishermen, priests, philosophers and kings. Despite these differences in occupation and the span of years it took to write it, the Bible is an extremely cohesive and unified book.

There are more than 6,500 languages are spoken in the world today and the BIBLE has been published in about 2,167 languages. The Bible is the best selling book of all time in any language. It has sold about 5 to 6 billion copies.Hence we know that there are atleast billions of people in this world who believes in Jesus Christ who came into the world about 2,000 years and ministered onlt for 3 and 1/2 years. No MAN, by his own authority, preaching for only 3 and 1/2 years,could have established his Kingdom on the earth even after 2,000 years have lapsed. It's only by the power of God, His name could be established on all face of earth.

What is the reason for Jesus Christ to come into this world to die on the cross? Here is a simple explenation:
1. God’s love, for all the people in this world is limitless and measureless.
2. There is no righteous, unblemished person in this world. There is not a man in this world who has not committed any sin in his life time.
3. There’s no one in this world whose walk is blameless; All are corrupt; All are sinners. God loves the sinners as well.
4. An innocent / sinless / spotless man's blood has to be shed for the forgiveness of our sins.
5. There was no sin found in Jesus Christ.
6. Jesus died on the cross as atonement (compensation) for the sins of all human beings in this world.
7. Any human being (irrespective of race, colour, religion, region etc.) who cries out to God truly in their heart for the forgiveness of their sins will be forgiven readily (This is know as "Salvation").They will enter into heaven after their death.

Please Read John's Gospel (from the New Testament) to know the Truth! You shall know the Truth and the Truth will set you free! I will pray for your Salvation! This is a challenge for everyone. Cry out to Jesus with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and search the BIBLE, He will definetely reveal himself to you.
