As noted elsewhere, these are not new concepts, first written in the bible -- they have been written about in other cultures with no knowledge of Jesus or Judaism. Some of the  concepts may be complex and not immediately understood by many average people, whenever they are presented with these ideas, but they are simply not original to the bible.

I think it's possible to appreciation what wisdom there is in the Bible, without trying to present it as a one-of-a-kind breakthrough book containing wisdom [b]never thought of before [/b]or since.  [/quote]

Since Bible, of course. Before Bible -- please, share the source that incompass all this [b]values[/b] prior to the Bible. [/quote]

buddha, gilgemesh, aesop, greek myths, etc.   Just like the bible? no -- lots of similar wisdom - yes. [/quote]
Sorry, wrong. Not even [i]since[/i] the Bible is there any belief system on Earth that says that there is one God who loved you so much that He came to Earth himself and lived as a sinless man and died a painful death and then rose Himself from the dead so that you can spend eternity with Him in Heaven.[/quote]

Oh, so is that the only thing the bible says?  the only important thing?  how about love thy neighbor and don't steal, lie, etc?  only "Jesus died for my sins..." counts -- Gee -- maybe you should have mentioned that earlier.   and since when is Jesus dying for our sins a "value?"

Actually there were other dying/rising gods before Jesus -- but some Christians who come here don't think they were real, like Jesus was, and really don't like to hear about them.[/quote]
