In a world full of suffering: Should the Bible be given a fair chance that it just might have the answers and solutions?

It may help those who are of the Christian family. Others probably not.

The Bible was written for the entire human family....ironically, many claiming to be "Christian" have brought the most reproach on the Bible by their teachings
that are not Biblical

It's already been tried, we refer to those days as the dark ages.

And the Bible survived the Dark Ages and the vicious attempts to destroy it....today it is alive and well to 99 percent of the earth

The bible is about 94% rubbish. It has created more trouble than what it is worth. In the dark ages, they would chop your head off if you did not conform to the religious ways of the day. The book of fairy tales is old, has been reworded time and time again and has nothing to do with today or any other part of life. It was meant to teach people about love at one point, and act as a guide to being a better person but that has gone and replaced with corrupt bullshit. My advice: I would rather live life and try and do my best, then read some book over and over again, wasting time.

The Bible already has been given a fair chance for about 2,700 years. Now reason, education, science, prosperity, and humanism have a better chance to offer answers and solutions.

If God was all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing, why would he put up with the evil that the video says controls our world? Better that there is no God at all, so that we wouldn't have to blame him for being so negligent.

Conforming to religious ways during the Dark Ages has nothing to do with the Bible, it has to do with man made false doctrines

Because the Bible teaches to be a better person, and religions have corrupted what it teaches, is that the Bible's fault?

Actually, the Bible foretold the actions of humans during this time period, ....

"But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."- 2 Timothy 3:1-5

So how is that going for the earth anyway? Reason, education, science, prosperity, and humanism?
The world is in the worst shape in human history (as also foretold in the Bible)

At the end of the video, it encourages a study of the Bible to have those question you just asked about God tolerating evil.....and HE is the only one who provides the solution

What is the fate of those playing blame and denial against God?
"Woe to those who are saying that good is bad and bad is good, those who are putting darkness for light and light for darkness, those who are putting bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those wise in their own eyes and discreet even in front of their own faces!" Isa5:20

Amos the Famous Ignoramus PhD here at the University of Scientific Oblivion. Oh come now CM surely by now in our modern scientifically advanced society of higher learning you don't belittle your gullible self by desperately clinging to a bronze age book of children's fairy tales do you? However comforting your precious little book of 'nice guys finish first' golden rules is, man's evolutionary climb to top predator teaches survival of the fittest, it's the law of the jungle that prevails, specifically "he who has the gold makes the rules" So you see this is why it has become fashionable in our top social/economic ruling class to blame the bible for holding us back so long.
Run along now little Romper Room girl, time to polish your tin cross to crutch you through another dismal day, while I gallantly supervise my minimum wage ethnic worker polishing the gold plated spokes on my gleaming new Mercedes, I don't want to drive up to the bank looking like a dime-a-dozen, indiscript commoner after all.

And God and the Bible have been just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. What solutions have there been over 2,700 years?

This arrogant thankless world has had those 2,700 years to mend it's way and transform the earth entrusted to it into global Eden, not nuclear wasteland, here's it's destiny.

"I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven: “Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God, 18 that YOU may eat the fleshy parts of kings and the fleshy parts of military commanders and the fleshy parts of strong men and the fleshy parts of horses and of those seated upon them, and the fleshy parts of all, of freemen as well as of slaves and of small ones and great.”
19 And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. 21 But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them." Rv19;17

Just twiddling. Humans can act for good in the real world during their one real lifetime on this earth. Humans can awake from their supernatural dreams.

That's really good advice, coming from a human.

I dont think the majority of people is sophisticated and developed enough to understand the bible as displayed above, but i hope the day comes soon everyone living is understanding of God in everyone's life

NO !!!

It's been given a chance for hundreds and hundreds of years. It's not done shit.

The bible and the modern church have had a long time to effect the world in a positive way, but instead its all about us vs them, grow up, religion is the failure of gumanity, not gods fault he didnt save the baby in time your the one who didnt pray..

What might you expect it to do, teach the world common sense enabling man to turn chaos into civilization?
"Who is wise and understanding among YOU? Let him show out of his fine conduct his works with a mildness that belongs to wisdom. 14 But if YOU have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in YOUR hearts, do not be bragging and lying against the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is [the] earthly, animal, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and contentiousness are, there disorder and every vile thing are.
17 But the wisdom from above is first of all chaste, then peaceable, reasonable, ready to obey, full of mercy and good fruits, not making partial distinctions, not hypocritical. 18 Moreover, the fruit of righteousness has its seed sown under peaceful conditions for those who are making peace." Ja3:13
When all else fails read the directions.

Like a game of "telephone", the longer it goes, the more distorted the message gets.

If you have studied the bible and you "believe" in it, you are a fool.

A simple minded fool at that.

The course of the man Nabal illustrates the way of a fool (1Sa 25) as does that of people who know the true God and then worship created things. (Ro 1:20-25) Isaiah said a fool, or senseless person, will speak “mere senselessness, and his very heart will work at what is hurtful, to work at apostasy and to speak against Jehovah what is wayward, to cause the soul of the hungry one to go empty, and he causes even the thirsty one to go without drink itself.” (Isa 32:6) The fool despises wisdom and discipline. (Pr 1:7) Instead of heeding counsel, the fool continues walking in a way he considers “right in his own eyes.” (Pr 12:15) He is quick to take offense and bursts out in disputing. (Ec 7:9; Pr 20:3) He says in his heart (his actions indicating what his lips may not say in so many words): “There is no Jehovah.”—Ps 14:1.

I believe it. If im a fool in your eyes, with a 666 username. Im happy to be the biggest fool ever.

5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 8But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

No, it's a work of fiction.

All you ever do is quote the bible.

Do you ever think for yourself ?

Dr Psychenhimer told me not to because I might become delusional then he charged me another hundred bucks and said NOW GET OUT YOU IDIOT, until next week.

He is a Jehovah's witness, so he knows nothing of the bible.

The word "Jehovah" doesn't exist in the New Testament or Old Testament.

He can't show you the Greek word in any manuscript or the Hebrew word in any manuscript because it is a made up English word.
