Biblical questions
If god is so powerful, why can he not write the bible himself? Instead, he risks typos and errors and miscommunications between the people who first wrote the bible ... Ooops! FYI: The bible was not written. YES. It was ASSEMBLED from many different writings from all sorts of gospels to stories of this and that .... all that conformed to one purpose. What was the purpose? Not to give the christians a documentation of their faith. No. The real purpose? So Emperor Constantine can have one religion to unite his empire.
The first christian Bible was assembled at constantinople. By the way, the emperor himself was a pagan who had himself baptized to christianity at the hour of his death. (wise ass) As I watched the discovery channel documentary, `Books banned from the Bible' ---- I began to see why the church leaders chose to expel some of those books out of the Bible. Some were rather full of rage or hate. Others, the book of jubillee says adam and eve had 9 children. Cain killed abel, and then married his sister. It was difficult for the church to accept that the human race was made out of incest.
And the best for last, the gospel of peter. Oh good lord, peter himself was expelled from the bible! The peter, the rock! Expelled? Here was his gospel. He asked the lord why ....if he is such an all-loving God, he allows souls to be tormented in hell (down there). The lord answered him: Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone. Those people in hell are all going to be saved in the end. For now, I just let them suffer, but in the end they too will be forgiven.
Now I know why that gospel of peter never made it to the bible. heheheh of course. if i was the church, that is a perfectly logical thing to do. hehe but if what peter said was true --- and the church included that story in the bible? I WOULD HAVE BEEN A BELIEVER. If the church never threw any of the stories out, everything, every detail would have answered itself, and I wouldnt have to ask any of those questions myself. Something tells me the church has a bigger `agenda' than just saving souls. If that is the case, I wouldn't trust them, or any of their writings. or any of their beliefs, or any of their teachings.
I have teachings of my own, thank you. Something more practical. Something more useful. Something that actually makes people do good, rather than waste time praying. If you run a test, your faith will fail you. You think the lord will save you? Jump off from the top of the building. then pray. see what happens.

the canonization of the bible that u are referring to happened during the council of nicaea and during that time christian churches have conflicting views on the humanity and or divinity of Christ. this issue overwhelmed the church fathers that it might affected how they picked the books of the bible that ultimately showed how human AND divine Christ was...and not the Christ child that breathed life to a bird he moulded of clay which seemed more like a fantasy. moreover, they have to consider the issues on authorship. the books that were written around and near Christ's life on earth were given more credence.
as for constantine's participation, the council's orders would have been futile without the support of the emperor of rome considering that the church during that time was still struggling to gain religious and political control.
true, there are doubts, uncertainties and disbelief. but i always believe that the bible in the form we know today is sufficient to tell us that there is a God that is forever who made us, who loves us, and who is willing to give yet another chance.
so yeah, this comment seemed too long nah. just got interested with the post. enjoyed it really. those were just my thoughts. nothing serious.
well,the only way to prove the bible itself is to read it yourself and to find out whether there are errors present or inconsistencies that may disprove even a single fact written in it...the only time your "reviews" are accepted of a book is because you have read it...
so I encourage you to read it.. :D
