In my own opinion, if the bible was fictional ,why that their are people who know that we have God..it's the truth for me the bible was so real..because before we are here and other people who has pass away they believe that we have God, God answer all our prayer if we faith to him,,God send his son Jesus Christ because he like us to save each other in our sin..Jesus Christ surrendered his body for our sin..Heaven is truth,he'll is truth...but no purgatory,,,bible telling the truth in what will happen before and after earth release by our almighty God...God is our savior..
