MISSING PAGE OF THE BIBLE?
I have just breezed over a long post on Surrogates blog, and from what I have gleamed from my breezing made me do a little research.
What prompted me to do the research?
Well, I was going to leave a funny, and maybe sarcastic post (not directed at surrogate, but at the Holy Bible), which I remember, came from an episode of Red Dwarf, where they found a pod from thousands of years ago, and it was full of mail.
Lister (a character in Red Dwarf) was opening up all the mail, and came across one particular letter, on which, when he read it out to the rest of the crew, said that they had found a missing page from the Bible (which was with the letter Lister was reading) and Lister read it out.
“this book is dedicated to my wife and children, who have given me the inspiration and imagination I needed, and to my close friends who also gave me some very imaginative ideas for some of the stories”
Ok, hopefully you will get the idea of why I was going to try and be funny.
But it did make me Google ‘Who wrote the Bible’. I do know it is a collection of a lot of different books written by different people at different times, apparently.
Anyway, after checking out various sites, I came across one that mentioned that Jews only use the Old Testament, also know as the book of Moses,
Here is an extract of what I found:
Conclusion
& nbsp; &n bsp; The books of the Holy Bible were written over a 2,000 year period by many people. During that time and afterward there were also other books written that were excluded. Some were not included and no one knows the reason because the books have been lost. Some were excluded because they were not believed to be faithful to the faith.
& nbsp; &n bsp; For example the Jews to this day reject the books of the New Testament as not authentic Judaism. Christians believe the reverse. This is a phenomenon that can be found in other religions around the world. However what has been included are those books believed to be the divine word delivered to the saints?
Here is the link to the site I looked at.
I thought after reading this, confirmed my idea that I left in a comment in surrogates blog, that some people, will twist and manipulate the writings of their religion, regardless of what religion they believe in, and make it fit into their own ideas, philosophies and perversions.
You may well disagree
