Can the bible just be a Good book? A book that people couldn’t put down because it brought ideas to the floor and stories based on real people which sounded convincing and therefore people believed it and went by it.  It was originally a book about something along the lines of how to be a good person and how to live your life with fables and stories about farmers and their sons, it was a compilation of ideas aimed at a central theme. To be Good, to live a Good life.  Which is why it is known as the Good Book.  For instance who calls the first chapter or the section of a book “Genesis”? Man does.  It means beginning and we know that.  There is always a beginning to each story and always continuations and more chapters and even sections.  There is always a climax and many great things that happen in a good book along the read, which is why the New Testament is usually read after the Old.  The coming of a man who prophesied about everything and anything and had the “world” at his fingertips controlling them and making them believe in something again which had been lost.  He was a teacher, he was a friend, he was a man but people thought of him as the image of someone else.  He tried to show that everyone had some “Good” in them and so the story could continue.  We all know how the story does end, but then after this section in the book, there are “visions” or what we can call in a book foreshadowing of what will happen in the future.  The story hasn’t ended and there is a coming, there is a new wave, and the Good news will be spread again… who will hold onto the torch this time and provide light to the ones who cannot see? This world is messed and we need to be good.  Its time to write about it.
