of the new Testament was written by the Apostle Paul.

The Bible is a book, a collection of stories whose story was meant to
closely follow the historical events of a people. Those people had a
belief in one God, they were monothiests. It is thought that there
were/are many stories, of the same historical nature, whose telling for
many generations was by oration, word of mouth.

There came a time, in history, when the doctrine of the faithful
followers began to change due to events some believed were the
fulfillment of prophecy.

The changes in this doctrine caused unrest within the 'group' because it
was not being consistantlly adhered to. So some decided that they would
group the stories into codex, of books, that way the stories could not
be changed anymore.

At some point, without mass production of such material, it was
determined that there should be only ONE Codex, dictating a single
religious doctrine.

This became the Bible. It has since been edited many times through
translations, through interpretation and continues to this day to be a
source of conflict, confusion, and hypocracy.

It also continues to be a sourse of some great moral code, and includes
many kind, caring, and peacfull followers.

Bored, I don't see anything wrong with what Red posted. It's her opinion
and she's entitled to it. I find you suggesting everyone to skip over it
rather rude.

I'm sorry red. I didn't mean to hurt you.

"The changes in this doctrine caused unrest within the 'group' because
it was not being consistantlly adhered to. So some decided that they
would group the stories into codex, of books, that way the stories could
not be changed anymore."

It was just sketchy never heard of this before

It is one half of the story of Mankind.

It is one half of the code which God would like us to live by.

It is but one half of the Word of God.

It is the Word of God by Man.

I am serching with all my spirit but half of the truth is missing.

Where is the other half?

Where is the half that is the Word of God by Woman?
