before the bible, there were people, they believed in multiple Gods... what happened to them? would they be punished? i cant see how because the bible wasn't out yet. this is for people that believe in God.
Christians today generally refer to the bible to find out what God has to say. While that may certainly be useful, many of them neglect to communicate with him themselves. The bible records thousands of stories where God speak in a thousand ways, from dreams and visions to prophets and, in one case, through a donkey. Burning bushes, writing on the wall, roaring thunder, the voice in your heart - they're all there. I think it's sad that so many today are limiting God's way of speaking to a book.
