Question

How did printing of the bible influence the ideas about god and church

Answer 1

The people only listen to fathers who read the bible after the bible is printed in other all languages then only the people got to know what the bible says upto then they used to follow what priest says and also they used to pay money to the priest for the certificate that they were excused for the wrong thing what they did and also after they read the bible then they go to know that there is no need of father to praise the god.

Answer 2

 I was a child my Sunday School teachers used to say that God whispered the words of the Bible, and someone wrote them down. There is some level of comfort in this idea, and many Christians I love defend it passionately, but there are problems with this theory.  Men of varied culture and history penned the words, men translated the words from language to language, and men deliberated, disagreed, and decided which ancient writings to include in what we call the Bible.  Understandably, therefore, there are hundreds of problems when we attempt to see the words as handed down directly from God.I understand and respect the need for some to yell “heresy” about now! I speculate a twofold reason for this passion: 1) The human need for God to be tangible, thus the equating of the Bible with God. (With our physical bodies we can’t touch, see, or hear God, but we can touch, see, and hear the Bible.) 2) The fear that if any discrepancy is found in the Bible that would mean God was not real or that the Bible was not Holy. Well, I hope to dispel both of these ideas here. The Bible does contain hundreds of discrepancies. Yet God is very real, and the Scripture is Holy.
