Nah, load of old cods wallop. Another opinion to try and oust the fact that the Bible has, and does continue to stand the test of time. It come's through everytime.

Obviously you just clicked the link and read the first sentence. If you read the whole thing, you might not be saying that.
 
I think it is a good time to point out that there are many other books not entered into the bible (i.e. New testament Apocrypha) because people deemed it not the 'word of God'. Just though i should mention.....

Thomas Jefferson, third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, said:"I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will not die a Unitarian." He referred to the Revelation of St. John as "the ravings of a maniac" and wrote:
The Christian priesthood, finding the doctrines of Christ levelled to every understanding and too plain to need explanation, saw, in the mysticisms of Plato, materials with which they might build up an artificial system which might, from its indistinctness, admit everlasting controversy, give employment for their order, and introduce it to profit, power, and pre-eminence. The doctrines which flowed from the lips of Jesus himself are within the comprehension of a child; but thousands of volumes have not yet explained the Platonisms engrafted on them: and for this obvious reason that nonsense can never be explained."

Good thing Jefferson was not claiming to be divinely inspired--otherwise one of the founders of our nation would have had the Spirit of the Antichrist. :p 1 John 4:1-3
The politicos of Jesus's day killed him, and it seems that the politicos down through history have continued to want to keep trying to snuff Jesus out of existence. :rolleyes:
