Guess what? It wasn't the Christians who wrote the Bible! Not one author was Christian.

[quote:Raymantheheretic:MV8yMjczODc2XzM4NjgxNTE3X0QxMTlENkU=] [quote:Wingedlion27:MV8yMjczODc2XzM4NjY3NjAxXzY1NzQ1NkZF] [quote:Raymantheheretic:MV8yMjczODc2XzM4NjY1NTA0X0JENTFENEEz] It was after a visit from Paul and Barnabas that a group a followers started referring to themselves as Christians. Or so the story goes. Unless you think that part was tacked on or refuse to think Paul considered himself a Christian at the time your statement is based on either ignorance or wild speculation as he has been credited with writing half of the NT books. [/quote] I think you make a poor Christian and an even worse Apologist. [/quote] Fine by me as I would label myself as neither Christian nor Apologist. This I assume was an attempt to denigrate? You OTOH have made a statement in your op and have failed to back it up or provide any context for why you've made it in the first place. Jew and the name Jesus weren't known 2000 years ago either but that doesn't prevent anyone today from knowing the intent and meaning of their usage. If you are trying to make a point, just do it.

Original Message
Not advocating any "religion" but all the crap about the Catholic Church somehow through King James wrote the scriptures? That is pure ignorance of all things historical.
The bible was written by 40 separate authors over a period of 4000 years by devout Jews, outside the corrupt religious order of the day; even Jesus was Jewish but outside the mainstream religion.
