I totally agree. Adam and Eve wanted to know everything, and we see where that got them. Actually where it got us.B Creech wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 18:13I do not believe the Bible is incomplete. There would not be enough room to write everything about God! I believe it is as complete as God wants it to be, we are not meant to know everything because we are not on the same realm as God. We are human, He is spiritual so we could not comprehend it all in our present state. That is just my opinion. Is it righteous to add after-notes to a religious book like the Bible? I say it is not righteous. I understand the author is using his imagination to fill in the gaps, which is what makes the book fiction. However, in the story of Adam and Eve, there wasn't just gaps being filled in, there were changes made to what the Bible actually says, which I have a problem with. I will continue reading to see how it goes unless I feel too much is being changed and not just being 'filled in.' Thanks for these questions!Sushan wrote: ↑01 Jun 2020, 10:06 The author gives additional descriptions, which are not found in the original Bible, to the story from creating Adam and Eve, up to the worldwide flood. Most of who has studied the Bible must have had his/her own thoughts regarding these lacking parts. Does this mean that the Bible is incomplete? On the other hand, is it righteous to add after-notes to a religious book like the Bible?

Agree. The book is fiction. So the book and bible are not exact apple to apple comparison.

People have their personal preferences regarding everything, and it is same for the bible as wellUncle_Praise wrote: ↑03 Jul 2020, 03:59 I do not agree the Bible is incomplete. I feel the author felt the need of adding some additional contents to it based on his understanding. Perhaps even when a delicious meal is completely done, we still have some people ready to add extra sauce and marinade to it. Likewise the story of the Killing Abel

The author did not intend to do so, and it was merely his imagination, based on historical factsThe_Vivian wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 14:33 Based on the fact that the book is fictional, I don't think the writer was trying to feel up the spaces in the Bible rather I think he was trying to give his own imaginative version like some of us Christians have. However, it is wrong to add or subtract from the Bible. But I really don't think that this is the intention of the writer.
