And from this mess draw any meaningful conclusions??!?

I think the assumption is that the bible has been "heavily edited" "redacted" and a "list of random documents" I agree if your assumption that you have been told is true without been given the counter, is true, that this post means little. However what if it is instead the word of god that has been preserved, than the op has meaning. My op is not to correct false info on the translation of the bible [that thread is coming] but to answer what is a common question on the bible. I find I will do post on a subject and often atheist will say they dont believe because of some other issue. Than I answer that issue and a new comes up. It simply takes time to answer them all. When the thread on the translation of the bible will be done, than you can bring up some other unrelated objection and sleep at night. But please permit me time to address each issue on its thread topic.


Happy Easter. Really biblically firstfruits.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep
