The Bible Is Too Big A Book To Be Made Up

The Bible is too BIG to be made up.

Does the Bible's size prove that its true?

I was flipping through the many pages of my Bible and I started thinking: Why would somebody tell lies for 1987 pages? Seems like they'd get bored after 100 pages of telling lies.


Sometimes I have doubts but I think nah, ain't nobody got the time to tell that many lies.

Of course not.

Your mistake here is thinking the Bible was written by one person and that it was created as a single book. It is numerous writings cobbled together into one book. Beyond that, even if it were one book written by one author, yes it could still be a book that size full of lies. Of course, classifying errors as intentional lies is also a mischaracterization of what it is. It is a total mess, but probably not filed with intentional lies.
