  I don't think it is possible, I have found the bible to have dozens of contradictions and that is was written later then we have been told, first 5 books not written by Moses. One early writing a couple of verses of numbers found and dated to about the 7th century bc but everything else no older the 300 AD. Jesus himself said he would return before some of his followers in his time died didn't happen. The orginal name for god is El and for gods Elohim, El proven to be the Canaanite god from Uragrit and the bible uses the term elohim more then El, proving the early Jews were not monotheistic. So anyway the bible yeah its a collection of propaganda and stories do some research you will find I'm not lieing.

  Crazyguy, thanks for commenting.

  Fine point about el and elohim. I had to check up that. I found out something.

  - El was the god of the fathers, Abraham, Isaak and Jacob (not JHWH)
  - The El-religion was adopted by Israel in the special version of Elohim.[=Plural: sense: "Everything Divine is He"] in the continuation of the fathers religion and by emphazising the uniqueness of this El.
  
  El-religion was a God the image of God as a social and personal one. The fathers of Israel had already decided for
  a god which whom they "had a personal relationship". El was no God of special place or city, of a mystic tree or source, of a natural might,
  El was seen on the level of Me and you. Thus this image became basis of the Israel faith. El was seen as holder of a disctinct personality, as father, as creator of the creatures, as the wise and king, as highest god, as hightest might, who was about everything else. This thought again is bases in the Isreal religion. El was not king in the meaning of Baal. (see below)

  Excluded by the fathers were :

  - conceptions of god as "Baal = Lord and Melech, moloch=king,( aristocratical god of limitless despoty and not image of social god)
  - conceoption of god as local god and resulting fertility-beliefs

  Thus the El-concept became basis of Isral and christianity.
  The fathers only took up a certain name or concept of God in their time.

  So much to translate from german into english.
