Default The Empire Crumbles: More American Buffoonery

You should read the Bible & Biblical History. There are many error in
the Bible that was put together hundreds of years after Jesus' death.
There are other writings of other Apostles that are ignored.


What you said's true about the errors. The Bible was put together over some
hundreds of years. Men did it, not God.
I read the *DaVinci Code* and then I read *Truth and Fiction in the DaVinci Code*.
It explains how the Bible was really written and all the lies in the DaVinci Code.
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written some hundred and
fifty years after Jesus was crucified. Some historians say there are a couple of
missing Gospels that the four reference.
Some parts of the Bible conflict with others. But conflicts are few. Some are
to be expected considering the size of the thing.
What's amazing about the Gospels is how they're so similar. They pretty much tell
the same story about Jesus' life and death. And his teachings.
In order to have the gift of eternal life all you have to do is believe Jesus is God
and he died to forgive people's sins which people can never get rid of themselves no
matter how good a life they try to live. All you have to do is believe the Gospel message
of Jesus and accept his gift and say thank-you and you WILL have eternal life.
Now, it would've been pretty easy to believe Jesus if you'd been alive and
seen him. Seen him killed and then come back to life like lots of people saw him do.
It's hard to believe a story about that happening but there's nothing to lose believing
that story and everything to gain. Only an idiot would reject it.

Cheers,
