The Bible makes many promises and offers a lot of advice. Can you really trust promises and advice from such an old book?

Come now, witness. You have no questions. You have an intent to convert any and every one who will partake of your ideology, and shun / ignore those who don't. At least that other reprobate with the fake accounts has more originality than these scripted q&a (sometimes).
Why you go to such efforts, self promoting on a forsaken corner of the virtual realm, that's beyond me. Suppose a spider will lay out any size of web if it means the occasional dinner.
Barb, Focus on practicing the behavioral themes referred to in the Bible, and ignore or minimize the things you can't do anything about. I view the Bible as an example of how to live in harmony with the better half of the world, the creative side, not the destructive side.
Our universe requires balance to function, it's the balance between good and bad, or creation and destruction, both are required.
Your reality is based on what you believe, think about and practice. It's that simple.
That manuscript promotes obedience, not harmony. Destroying that which is bad.

The question was: Can you trust the Bible? You are correct the Bible does teach us how to live better lives, when we apply it. John 17:3 invites us to first take in knowlege of God and His son Jesus. History, science, and prophecy all indicate that you can trust the Bible. For whoever reads this reply and has not done so, I encourage you to examine this topic even closer by going to (jw.org)
This is not an answer to my question. Thank you anyway.
