I always hear people say that the Bible is true because many of the events that is in the Bible actually happened.So, in order for something to be true, all it needs is to have some events that happened and for all the rest the book fills in the blanks and it becomes true.Right?
To anyone that has seen the movie made in 2000 and who knows actual history then you would know that several things in the film are fictional.Though many of the names of the characters and many of the events did take place.Why is the Bible any different then a fictional tale with real events?Perhaps they are both tales of fiction to entertain an audience.If the Bible is all true does that mean the movie Gladiator with Russell Crowe is true?
The bible cannot be all true because it has been corrupted so many times, you can't count how much times.If the Bible is all true does that mean the movie Gladiator with Russell Crowe is true?
You want to prove this point? Take it up to the Pope. I DARE you.

Russel Crowe's 'Gladiator' was a make over of an old movie 'Fall of the Roman Empire' made in '64. That old version had great actors.....
Sophia Loren ... Lucilla Stephen Boyd ... Livius
Alec Guinness ... Marcus Aurelius
James Mason ... Timonides
Christopher Plummer ... Commodus
Anthony Quayle ... Verulus
John Ireland ... Ballomar
Omar Sharif ... Sohamus
Mel Ferrer ... Cleander
Eric Porter ... Julianus
Finlay Currie ... Senator
Andrew Keir ... Polybius
Douglas Wilmer ... Niger
George Murcell ... Victorinus
Norman Wooland ... Virgilianus
Gladiator is digital and the sound is better but overall, the old version was better acted.
Both versions had many historical inaccuracies...Livius, the part played by Crowe never existed historically.
So where were we??????
OK. If you dare to believe in History, you better believe in the Bible; it could well be more truthful than say...Roman History.
And don't forget to rent that old Movie...'Fall of the Roman Empire.' It beats Gladiator by Miles.
1. to compare the Bible, an item that has lasted thousands of years, through millions if not billions of men, to of all things, a TV show or a movie, is past insane. Not even in the same catagory.
2. The Bible is more acurate than what you are told or you believe. Even modern science recognizes the Bible as a factual book. They won't say, yes, its God and all, but the statements it makes, the observations of the world, the earth, and the future, for it was written thousands of years ago, is all true.
3. If you base your knowledge on the Bible from the imagery you have seen, the art work, paintings or even what the Church has told you....then you have been misled. One needs to read it themselves and research it themselves to grasp what the meaning is. It is not a book like a math book, where everyone can plainly see that 2+2=4. The Bible is more indeapth than that.
4. All movies, TV shows are fictional, all of them. Not one, I repeat, not one, has ever followed 100% actual fact and proof.
5. Man made science, man is flawed, so in logic sense mans science is flawed. So now prove that history as we call it, see it, and write it, is 100% actual, factual proof. Did any of us live then? no. Are any of use time travelers? no. So all we can do, is make an educated guess.....and that is nothing but a guess.
Guesses still happen in reality today.....for innocent men still get jailed (rare, but happens). That again proves mans science and logical ';thinking'; is flawed. For if we were perfect, no innocent man would pay any price, but the price of innocence itself.
Youre question is wrong, because the stories in the Bible CAN be proved. God's Word is 100% true. I put my faith in no other ';story';.
I'll pray for you to unharden your heart to God. He loves you, even when you mock him.
Don't asked...stupid questions..,.okay!

who said the BIBLE wasn't true?? archaeologists found evidence of Noah's ark a few years ago. and what does that have to do with Gladiator?? no offense, but i can't believe you're comparing the greatest book of all time to a multimillion dollar movie.
And you think this little musing of yours is going to make the entire Christian community suddenly think that everything they believe in is total crap?
Grow up.
Actually, both sources contain similar errors. Real Romans of the time would have called Pontius Pilate a prefect (praefectus), not procurator (as in the Christian testament), and real Roman legionaires would have shouted, ';Roma Victoria!'; instead of ';Roma Victor!'; (as in the Crowe film).
Bible is true but i havent seen this moview you mention...im very picky about movies..
You so hit the nail on the head! Exactly the way I see it!
Gladiator is just a movie - the things that happened in it did happen - The Romans use to kill Christians, in the coliseum - they used them for torches, watched lions eat them alive, made bets on what ever they wished - the Romans tried their best to destroy the Christians - but what happened to the Romans - well Armageddon is what happened - they were slaughtered almost to the point of extinction - it happened to the Romans and it will happen to the unbelievers on judgment!
