Superstition

One  response to the message of the Bible is that the Bible is man made religion and the stories are superstition.

The dictionary definition of superstition is 1. an irrational but usually deep-seated belief in the magical effects of a particular action or ritual, especially in the likelihood that good or bad luck will result from performing it.  2.  irrational and often  quasi-religious belief in and  reverence for the magical effect of particular actions and rituals or the magical  powers  of particular object.

This belief about the Bible can only come from a lack of knowledge of who G-d is and his purpose for us.  Once a person starts reading the Bible they will start to learn about G-d and have a knowledge of him. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of G-d."

 We know the stories in the Bible are not superstition simply because the  stories are actual fact proven by life itself.  An example- The Bible explains "The soul that sinneth it shall die"  We can not get away from death no matter how many advancements science makes because we are sinners. We are going to die because of our sins.  A sinner is in rebellion against G-d, hatred for the One that created us and the world.

Yet G-d has proven his love for us "...in that while we were yet sinners Messiah died for us"  Isaiah tells us of this Messiah and his death. "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of G-d, and afflicted.  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the L-RD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.... " Messiah was sacrificed for our sins and his blood atonement was accepted  of the Father.  Messiah was raised from the dead"...when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days and the pleasure of the L-RD shall prosper in his hand."  Who ever puts their trust in the blood atonement of the Messiah Yeshua will have their sins forgiven and a new life that is guided by the Messiah."Thous shalt guide me with thy counsel and afterward receive me to glory."  Psalm 73:24
