    I am happy to critique the body of "evidence" - perhaps have a discussion on the canonical process, the politics that went on and so forth and the reasons that these decisions were made to fit the needs of the geopolitical reality and hence the hangover of these vestiges to today.



    There is precious evidence for most of it. Interpreting any text that has gone so many edits to the point where large parts of the original texts are only known from senior church officials at the time declaring them heretical is nonsensical. Of course, discussing the reasons for the creation of the versions that were created it itself has value.




    This kind of posts just reassure me that large portions of the population accept things they are told and cannot support them other than repete the same stuff they were told to believe. It seems I think some think the da vinci code was actually history. This thread more than any needs a translation of the bible thread to be done. Please allow me the time to address each issue one at a time.

    The first to present his case seems right,till another comes forward and questions him -Proverbs 18.17

    Yes... they are broadly called those who follow religions.

    You appear to be missing the point - translating an unreliable source doesn't make it more reliable.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
