Ah, but which original manuscripts?

Aren't there manuscripts which were deleted/not included because they didn't square with the orthodoxy of the day?

Certainly there is no doubt that the church (in all it's many guises) has played fast and loose with history in order to best project whatever image suits best at the time and the Bible itself was not immune to manipulation.

So, why believe in the King James version over the Gnostic Bible, for instance?

frodo fails at reading the bible anyways.

The problem is that because the english language has evolved over the last couple of hundred years, it has become more and more difficult to understand, which is why folks are using so many other translations today. The modern king james version is an updated version of the kjv. I use it alot.

Merry Christmas!!!

Yeshu was a fairly popular name - it could just as easily have been Timmy the Messiah

What happens if one is Jew and wants to go to heaven? :blink:

:shifty: thought never crossed my mind.

Invented what? Jeebus was the one who walked on water (shallow water) and parted a fish between 5 thousand people (a whale obviously).

How do I, a Jew, get to heaven?! :huh:
