So how have we all sinned then, what are "his" laws? I don't mean to seem stupid but have kind of avoided that kind of thing for many years now.
Never heard of the 10 Commandments??

Quote:
and also what of all other religons? People may have devoted their life to budha and lived a selfless life but according to the bible would they too not be sinners?
Yes they would, God makes it clear to people who/what we believe is correct.

Quote:
Maybe If God cared to tell us what actually happens after we die, I might worship him!..

Seriousley though, im not spending my time worshipping someone, when as far as I can see, im not gonna gain anything from it. Sorry for being shallow
No problem, that's between you and Him.

Quote:
So why are there so many differing variations of the bible in circulation??
The original Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was in Greek, so the different 'versions' relate to the translations.

Quote:
If a book which was written at least 400 years after the subject matter (IE Jesus's life) how can we be sure it is based on fact and not Myths?
Because a lot of what was written in scriptures was corroborated in other journals, such as Caesar's diaries. Jesus is mentioned in those too.

Quote:
But why would anyone believe in something they cannot see or touch
As Kronas says, it's based on faith. What helps is that God will communicate with you in His own way. He has already done so with me about my daughter.

Quote:
IMO its all BS id rather believe in something which has fact/substance
That too is between you and God, but please, don't refer to someone else's beliefs as BS. Is there any need to be offensive?
