The (NEW) Revised Standard Version , the (NEW) Jerusalem Bible, or the (NEW) American Standard Version are the recommended Bibles.The K8ng James Version is ok if you can understand the old English translation.

Bible cannot be trusted, once you understand what Bible is.

Bible is a group of documents made by certain council 300 years after Jesus's death. they excluded all texts which showed them wrong, and left only small group of texts they found appropriate, burning the rest.

Indeed they are Lucy.

The books removed were too extreme to be credible.

And what's left is credible?

LOL.

Too extreme or too stupid or too extremely stupid.

So you have to make do with mildly stupid.

You have to read the history of the Bible and its construction.

Yes from it's chiselled stone beginnings all the way through to it's thoroughly modern digital versions.

From a naive creation and existence hypothesis all the way through to a naive creation and existence hypothesis...And humans remain as gullible and as prone to stupidity as the ever did.

Satan has destroyed your faith in the Bible and Jesus. You even accept your own gullibility. But that is no excuse.

No such thing as Satan, just another fantasy character from Middle Eastern mythology.

And yes, some people are more gullible and stupid than others...I.272 billion Catholics for starters.

And for sure, I'm a lot wiser than I used to be...Though I have always been wise to religious tom foolery.

You even portray yourself as a furry animal to mask your human ignorance.

That's a bit rich coming from someone that believes in a talking Donkey and talking Serpent.

Satan is your only excuse. But the choice was yours. I showed you the scriptures that could have saved you. But you are under Satan’s control and here only to be a distraction.

I see. So what do you think or what should, or what will happen to me now, numbskull?

A distraction from what. I believe that I am doing completely the opposite of "distracting" . I am drawing attention to the absolute nonsense that Christians believe is the word of god, in the bible.

And I haven't even started yet.

Would you like a tailer?

I haven't told you about Jesus confrontation with John the Baptist. Or how Jesus and or his disciples conspired to have John murdered.. Or how obvious it was that Jesus was building an army. How a lot points to Jesus being married. How Jesus took part in a rebellion with murdering ,thieving, zealots from Galilee. How Simon didn't trust or believe anything about Jesus. Yes "Debby" I haven't started yet.

Please continue. Remember what Jesus said. “For where two or three people are gathered in my name , there am I among them.” (Matthew 18:20). Hope we can get a few more Christians in this discussion.

Your conspiracy theories certainly don’t come from any Jewish source. It must be straight from Satan.

By sheer volume compared to other English translations, I most trust the King James Version, if for no other reason, that it contains at least 24 various verses in just the New Testament, than are contained by any other English language translation, such as the NIV, NLT, ESV, or NASB.

Missing from the latter group [there is some variation of these, but, generally speaking, these are lacking]:

Matthew 17: 21; 18: 11; 20: 16; 23: 14

Mark 6: 11;, 7: 16; 9: 44, 46; 11: 26

Luke 4: 8; 9: 56, 56; 23: 17

John 5: 3, 4

Acts 87: 37; 9: 5, 6; 13: 42; 15: 34; 23: 9

Romans 16: 24

I John 5: 7, 8

There are just a few more people involved in the world than just Christians and Jews. As it happens, there is a reason why the Islamic term, "children of the book" from the Quran acknowledges the Holy Bible. Research.

Yes, it should be apparent to Christians that the fantasy GODS and prophetic characters of the bible tales or pre-bible tales, were only relative to a tiny proportion of the Worlds human inhabitants, who lived in one specific region of the Middle East.

And yes, the tales were taken and adapted by the people of Southern Arabia and became the basis of the separate theo-political Islamic empire that we know today.

Children of the Book is a very pertinent statement, because the formative programming and conditioning of children is the fundamental basis of the divided species, that has blighted humanity for the past 2000 years....And still does.

So where are the divine godheads when we need them?...On the shoulders of men of course...Going blah blah blah, come unto me little children and let me corrupt your minds with nonsense.

And I believe that it is written as "people of the book", not Children.

I see. You missed this>>>So what do you think or what should, or what will happen to me now, numbskull?

You should have thought about it before you decided to follow Satan. Now you have a place reserved for you in hell.

characters of the bible tales or pre-bible tales, were only relative to a tiny proportion of the Worlds human inhabitants,

Read a limited portion of the entire Holy Bible, yes, you will come away thinking the Gospel of Christ is limited to merely a few of the world's inhabitants. Read its every single page, cover to cover, your scope, contrary to your claim, expands to include every world inhabitant, in all ages of Earth. With very careful reading, you may even capture that the effects of the Gospel affect every species of Earth, beyond humankind, because the words "every world inhabitant" is that inclusive.

Depends on the translation, just as with the Holy Bible.

For sure, reworked editions needed to be inclusive.

Reworked by Men of course.

It's a book Faux...Compiled by folk and not by GODS.

Compiled by folk so that they could subjugate other folk.

So you can't answer that either, but just spout shite.

Off you go braindead.

Nope. As I said, a complete reading is necessary to capture the full intent and impact of the Holy Bible, and not a single argument you have raised since eliminates that purpose. It is, however, summarized in Matthew 5-7, inclusive - the Sermon on the Mount, which, while certainly aimed at the benefits to man of spiritual living, just happens to be the best political platform ever conceived. With it, every single past, present and future suffering of social man is eradicated. What better politick is there than that accomplishment?

Stephen wrote: I see you missed this >>> So what do you think or what should, or what will happen to me now , numbskull?

That too has been answered several times.

Debby wrote:”You should have thought about it before you decided to follow Satan. Now you have a place reserved for you in hell.

The more you ask questions instead of looking up the Bible for the answer, the more you prove Satan has you under his control. You are certainly going to hell.

Interestingly, Matthew/Levi is a somewhat sketchy character...And whether or not he actually compiled the "Book of Matthew" is even sketchier.

Such is the ongoing nature of the "Bible" and it's sketchy compilation.

With it, every single past, present and future suffering of social man is eradicated.

Hmmmm, try telling that to everyone that suffered at the hands of Christian/Jewish zealots over the ensuing two millennia.

Those who suffered at the hands of Christian’s converted and made Christianity a majority religion. Even the Jews would agree Christianity replaced Judaism.

Well, Judaism was and still is, and Christianity came later, followed some six hundred years later by Islam.

None of them "replaced" any of them... Just new derivations of the same old Abrahamic concept of a magic man creator.

So you joined the Catholic Club which is a sub-derivation of the broader Christian group.

Though it is most likely that you were programmed as a child and had very little choice in the matter.
