DerbyGal, there is unfortunately an entire debate to be had on this one topic alone but to conduct it here would be to hi-jack the thread.
Whatever you or I or anyone thinks of what we perceive to be The Bible, we must be mindful that the Bible that we know, that is presented to us and replicated by print presses world-wide, is a HUGELY edited, censored and a massively cut down version of the actual set of works. There are many many Gospels for example but your Bible has but 4.
To believe "the Bible" as it is presented to you, is to simply submit to the control and conditioning of a group of MEN/WOMEN who have bastardised a much larger work in order that you only see the parts they want you to see.
If you believe such actions would be the work of "God" then I shall not stand in your way.
This would mean, as a rational human being, you would purposely choose not to want to read the entire picture, including the Gospel of Mary, The Gospel of Judas, of Peter and so on.
I had this argument out with a 92 year old gentleman who I am very fond of. He is now a Catholic. He could not answer my questions, had not rational answers, and simply said you have to choose to accept the Papal decree and censorship on what they say IS and what IS NOT genuine.
Truth is always simple, and beautiful and resounds within your very being. The "Bible" as we currently know it and as it is doctored for us, is not what I call truth.
