There is no theological agreemement as to who wrote it and when. You have your faith, I respect that, I lost whatever little faith I had some years ago. Cheers. See this always makes me chuckle. Native Arab speakers can’t agree what certain texts mean written in yep Arabic, same with the Jews and the Tora both have been arguing about it for 1000’s of years. So how the bugger can someone believe a book translated from multiple languages into a completely non related language, by hundreds of people, over hundreds of years. Then translated again from those texts into English (king James bible), another completely non related language 1500 years later? None of the translations ever, East, West, Latin, Greek etc have ever even had a complete revision of all original texts, most of which were written in dead languages by the time of the council of Nicaea. A council of men loving their position of power over the masses, who fuucking decided what was going into the book of control anyway 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some take scripture as god breathed and that’s totally their right to do so, it’s living as close to book as possible really. However, some theologians will tell you that it’s just different passages written be different people and is there to be interpreted……a catholic priest, a very clever and well educated catholic priest at that, told me this. I think it’s somewhere in between. Who knows where inspiration to write down deep and meaningful stuff comes from…..I don’t, I just know it exists because human beings do it every day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bingo mate Books, texts, letters, correspondence, legal recordings from the period and all manner of scripture was basically cast aside, left out and what fit the created narrative was left in.

Men seeing an opportunity and hijacking something good and reworking it to suit themselves is hardly surprising is it mate, it’s don’t mean the thing they hijacked is false or irrelevant imho. This is always the confusion between faith and organised religion, one thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other imho. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I rewrote Harry Potter in Spanish, left half the story out and then got a random French bloke to translate into Latin and then a Greek to put it back to English, would it be worth reading in comparison to the original? That’s exactly what these men did and more importantly, they had something very real to gain from putting what served the narrative and kept control of the masses. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But can you prove that mush,im sure they could be put side by side an checked,an I think it has already,if they weren't included then they must not of thought that it was inspired by God.
