Good post, Pix.pixiegirl said:
The Gospel of Thomas is not part of the Bible. You won't find the first part in the Bible, but you will find passages that agree with "And if you go into any land and walk about in the regions, if they receive you, eat what is set before you; heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you; but what comes out of your mouth, that is what will defile you."pixiegirl said:

Dur, because he said so!

Well, from my understanding, the "bible" used to comprise many texts and documents. However, in the early days of the catholic church, the pope (whose name I can't remember) sent out orders that ALL the churchs had to send in all the text that they were using to spread the "Word". Then when all the documents and texts were compiled, this one man sat down with a couple of buddies and picked and choosed what they wanted in the "Bible" and then they burned the remaining documents. Thereby a single man choose the tone and direction of the "bible" which orginially comprised much much more. Luckily, for those who are interested in learning more than just what one man wanted, a lot of the texts survived, albeit some where hidden amongst the dead sea scrolls.pixiegirl said:

You and I have had this discussion many times. You don't believe the Bible and I do. We both have free will. Time will tell who is right and who is wrong. To have this discussion again is pointless; the facts have not changed.
Where you got that, I have no idea.migtig said:
The Catholic Bible is not the canonical Bible. the Catholic Bible contains the Apocrypha; the canonical Bible does not.migtig said:

We all agree on one thing, that everyone has their own perspective on religion and how it fits them personally. Why must this bickering and wordplay continue? What will make it stop... an exploding head? Because I really don't believe that will happen. People agree to disagree on many other subjects, religion should be no different.

Pix, he obviously can't answer that question without having a conflict with his first sentence here. We all (including the most devote christains) know that the bible was compiled by men, some just can't reconcile that with their blind faith......
Humans are not infallable, so if a human wrote(or compiled) the bible it may not be infallable either
Here is a timeline of the Biblical history. It has been posted before, but people forget. http://www.apuritansmind.com/ChristianWalk/BibleTimeline.htmmigtig said:

The Bible. Not the Catholic Bible. The BIBLE end of story - was compiled at one man's direction. The King James version, was edited even further down. Remember, the Catholic Church is the church upon which Peter built.2ndAmendment said:
A lot of text is missing in the bible - no matter what version you use - from what the original churches throughout the lands were teaching back in the day. I am sorry you don't believe me, however, it's factual historical truth.
I answered it in detail before. Just do a search.Midnightrider said:
The short answer, yes, the Bible was written by men inspired by God. The long answere is much deeper than that. You want to read it. Do the search.
