The **Bible**, also known as the **Holy Bible**, is a collection of ancient scriptures considered to be fundamental base for the Christian religion. Within the religion, it's considered the infallible word of God Himself.

## Overview

The Bible itself is split into two parts, referred to as Old Testament and the New Testament. The former starts at the creation of Earth and tells of the story of the Israelites while the latter is the story of Jesus Christ and ends with the Apocalypse. While many people say that the Old Testament is the collection of books used by Judaism, this simply isn't the case as the Old Testament and the Tanakh have enough differences to consider them different books.

## Myths and Legends

### Infallibility

In Christianity, the Bible is infallible in its revelations, for it is the word of God to mankind. Consequently, it is interpreted that everything the Bible reveals or says is the absolute truth. However, after the new scientific discoveries, the questioning of biblical infallibility began to have more strength, since many of the biblical views such as the origin of the world and man were contradicted by science and its methods, which gave rise to denialists who deny the science like the flat-Earthers.

However, it was stated that there can be some kind of consensus between science and the bible, with a person being able to believe in both without interfering with the other, without any contradiction with the holy scriptures and their revelations. The explanation for this lies in the fact that there are two views of biblical infabilidde;

* The first is the Inerrancy of the Bible, that is, the Bible cannot be wrong - it says that the Bible is 100% and absolutely right in theology, history and science questions.
* The second is that the Bible is indeed infallible and incapable of erring, however, only in matters of **theology**, **faith** and **practice**. The Bible is a theology book, not a history or scientific book, even though there are stories in the bible that are in fact historical events, the intention of the bible and its writers was not to make a book of documents, but a biography of God. In this second interpretation, many people manage to believe in the Bible, the theory of evolution and the big bang without contradicting their faith, with some saying that the way God created the world and man's physical body is not really important, but yea the spirit-soul, whose source is God.

## Trivia

* Despite the belief that the Bible contains such great that it can fight off demons and demonic entities from other religions, this is entirely false, as only Abrahamic demons possess a weakness to anything considered sacred or religious important in the Abrahamic Pantheon.
