NO!

This is a posting about what the Bible is not.  It could have been longer.

What the Bible is is a whole other posting.




NO! The Bible is not a brick you beat someone over the head with.
NO! The Bible is not a treatise about religious doctrines.

NO! The Bible is not a book of rules on how to be superior to others.

NO! The Bible is not a listing of what’s wrong with you…or anybody else.

NO! The Bible is not an essay on just how far you are away from God.

NO! The Bible is not a three-, seven-, or ten-step plan for making your way to heaven.

NO! The Bible is not about some people God favors over all others.

NO! The Bible is not to be taken literally.  (Take it seriously, instead.)

NO! The Bible is not a scientific journal.


NO! The Bible is not resource book on how to be hateful, bigoted, or violent in the name of God.


NO! The Bible is not an explanation of how flawed, defective, not good enough, or unacceptable you are…or anybody else.


NO! The Bible is not a book (66 books, actually) that requires a graduate school degree to understand.
