The Bible clearly defines right and wrong, and upholds the highest moral standards in the history of man. For example, the Ten Commandments forbid adultery. (Exodus 20:14) Jesus gave further clarification to this:
You can actually find one of the finest examples of what was the most benign empires the ancient world was to produce , 250yrs before Jesus arrives. This was over to the east in the realm of Buddhist King Ashoka of India .
You will also find a complete "Bible" there, also written 2100 yrs ago , that is as complete as anything produced in the New Testament . It is known by the wise, as one of the most precious gems of scripture and virtuous living that also existed in the world and was to influence many that came after , including your New Testament , and the Koran.
It is the "Bible" of Southern India , and one of the oldest known pure-form scriptures in the world, brought down thru the centuries ... you may view it here : coimbatore.net
It is quite beautiful isn't it ? And more true to divine form than a Bible filled with so much atrocity, strife, wailing and war . And came down the centuries in almost completely original form.
And over 2000yrs old , that came out of another Eden ....miracles do abound , don't they ?
