Doesn`t the Bible with its fascination / significance with numbers indicate that its authors were superstitious and written for the benefit of superstitious people in mind ?
Numbers such as 7 ,10 , 12 , 40 , 144,000 , and the amount of times and applications in scripture , sometimes a multiple of such numbers are used.
Coupled with its magical claims of miracles , curing the sick by touch,raising the dead ,curing the blind ,walking on water ,axe heads floating on top of the water ,calming the weather during a storm,curing leprosy ,etc,etc.?
All of these instances on a limited occurrence of course and only in certain cases. {Why not continually for all of humanity ?}
Isnt that indicative of the mentality of the Bible writers and their reliance on the super-natural ? superstitions ? and adopting pagan beliefs of other Gods around them ?
Why have all of these things been prevalent in Bible times for 4000 years ,yet not one occurrence of their happening since the bible was written over 2000 years ago.?
It begs the question don`t you think ?
