blog #3 introduction

                The Bible has been one of the most famous books in the world that has been passed down from generation to generation. The Bible is made up of verbal stories passed down from the Pentatuch and written by five different writers. It was finalized 539-334 B.C.E. (before the common era.) The Bible was originally written in Hebrew and then translated in hundreds of languages in order for people of different cultures and ethnicities to understand. One thing that is clear to me is that God appears to be omnipitant throughout the majority of the verses and texts in the sense of being all mighty. This we can see right from the start in the book of Genesis when he created the universe and everything in it.As I read and analyzed the bible I realized that God is portrayed many different ways. He has many different characteristics and emotions. Each chapter reveals something different about him. One question that has been brought up for decades is is God really omnichient? I believe that God is not omnichient. Everybody has their own opinion on this but, I believe I have found a few quotes directly from the bible that makes me believe he is not. Why not give us the whole truth about life from the very beginning? As you may know, the Bible has two testaments, the new testament and the old testament. Something I find so interesting is the fact that the old testament was canonized in 90 A.D. Meaning, scholars decided which stories were going to be put into the actual bible. This makes me wonder, why wouldn't they add each and every story? Were they trying to hide something from us? The Bible is hundreds and hundreds of pages long so why leave a couple more out? Most importantly, why would God allow this to happen if he really is omnichient? Wouldn't he want everone to know everything he did? Or did he want it to happen?
