OK. Now think back to not so long ago when a pastor claimed if the bible says 2+2=5 you had better believe it. Yes, I remember that one.
For a retake on the above let's go back to 335 when Constantine wanted a bible that told a story complete from beginning to end. The Council of Nicaea was to clarify doctrine and the Bishops were left to decide which books would be a part of that one big book. With a lot in between this, St. Jerome came up with the first bible complete with the Apocrypha in 400.
Somehow from then to now we have been led to believe that Jesus was happy with this and that he believed in some of the earlier books. Yes, if the bible says that 2+2=5 you had better believe it.
If you tell anyone this and they see why you do not believe in the god of the bible the first thing they might tell you is that you have not tried any of the other religions. Whichever way you go what you will have is books written by man.
