Woah...

So, I was watching this thing on the History Channel about the Bible, and the new text that's been found recently dating back to the late BC. Apparently, what is in the Bible that is most commonly used today was chosen to be in the Bible, and there are some texts that were left out because they were offensive to christianity, or something. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but it was sooooooo cool. They mentioned Soloman, and who he really was, and that he controlled demons and used their powers. It's pretty wicked. Did anyone else see it? And what do you think? If there was text left out of the Bible that's used now, should it be re-incorporated into the Bible?

^_^ erm theres no way i can probly put this with out offending some one in some sort of way so im just going to write it any ways lol!!

The bible is like chinese wispers its been changed to the view of the writers, after all its been changed a few times because our language has changed so many times, if the writers didnt like a bit they would have either changed it or not writen it and hidden the evidence that it ever exsited.

Im not saying whats in the bible never happened but words can be twisted, its why i stoped being a christian because alot of the things in the bible i didnt understand and didnt make sence to me no matter what way i look at it.

Yes u are absolutely right that u cant put it without offending someone..caz u got an arguement commin to ya!! never ever compare the bible to freaken chinese wispers..it has not been changed around and for you to stop being a christian because u dont understand the bible and stuff is rediculous. if u question god's word and dont believe in him u are goin to go to hell..there's no other way to say it and im not going to sugar coat it for u. point blank u are going to burn in hell for an eternity..so u need to talk to ur precher or something and get ur life situatated on what u believe and dont believe because once you have chosen what u believe in that's it..so i mean its ur life its ur opioion im just letting u kno something..hope u dont take this to offense!!! ha ha

^-^ im not offended :D i chose to believe in science. Although some things cant be explained by science such as supernatural happenings but i still believe that there is some thing there we cant see so its much like God, you can see God you cant hear God but you still believe that Gods there which i respect in every way.

Im just going to say this next but not to offend any one but to make you think just a little, My mother works in a hospital with alot of women who are very religious they go to church practicly every day, and they tried to get her to go, but my mother said to them " Are you sure god is God, because alot more bad is done in the name of God then is good, are you sure that God is not the devil in disgise" This is very much kind of to do with muslims as they are peaceful people normally yet a war still ranges because of the differences between their beleifs... and verious other things but thats going off the subject.

^_^ i think people should believe in what ever they want aslong as you can forfil your dreams, and be at peace.

The thing is, there were texts from before the Bible was made about Christ, and who he worshipped, and such. Christians from about 400AD decided to say that Soloman controlled demons and that Christ wasn't all that holy was way against their beliefs. They didn't exactly change anything, but they left important texts out that are now being found, they dated back to before Christ, and during Christ's alleged existance. What I want to know is, if these were supposed to be in the Bible, were important, but left out, buried for 2000 years, and forgotten, now that they're re-discovered, will it change the Bible, and should it?

I dont think you can just change what is clased as a holly book. In my opion the worlds been played enough with by religion. I think information going into a religion would upset some serious believers because it will be different from what they have been preached.

If some one went out and said every thing you have been following is incorrect i think you would have a riot and probly have a huge argument on your hands.

Its like in some areas in america they dont teach evolution still because they are that religious it goes against whats in the bible...

I believe that all aspects of the Bible are true

I'm always confused by the "If you question the Bible then you go to hell" logic. Wouldn't a loving God want to be believed in by people who've actually built their trust on a solid, reflective basis, rather than people who hold to a compulsorily belief, thinking that they must believe simply out of fear of punishment?

^_^ put your faith in a book and you will have eternal life o.O hmmmm fun lol!!!

I like hot weather it nearly killed me once with a heat strock but we are good friends :D plus i think the devils a bit to kinkey for my liking with the whips and every thing o.O though you can never have to much fun lol!!!

im actually suprised this hasnt been locked or had a mods opinon yet.

I think most people stay out of it, because it's not a new topic by any means, and most of the mods and folks who have been here for a while have already shared their thoughts. I'm thinking I should follow their lead... it's just... I see a really sad, illogical opinion and I'm drawn into it. Blah!

:P yeh thats true.

Why isn't anyone answering my question? u.u

The questions where : Did anyone else see it? And what do you think? If there was text left out of the Bible that's used now, should it be re-incorporated into the Bible?

No i didnt see it but i have it saved on my TV o.O i think it was bound to happen the bible was writen about 500 years after christ there was bound to be some things mist out that the writers didnt like any one to know. I dont think adding it will change much, apart from if your Catholic because there the ones who normally interprite the whole bible from the preacher. Though if it was ment to be in the bible then it should be in the bible.

Theres my thoughts

I personally like the da vinci code. go read it. it makes a lot of good points.

i stopped going to church years ago... about 10. i dont like to be preached at by hypocrites. personally.
