No...there are lots of variations of both the New and Old testaments...and lots of gospels and books cut out. I believe it's you that is providing excuses....And you know that....how? There are several versions of the bible....fact. There are several translations of the bible....fact. There are several contradictions in the bible...fact.
Your god did kind of a sucky job inspiring Men, didn't "he"?
Not really.
That is the excuses used by non believers.
Especially if you check all of the evidance out.
There are way more copies of the biblical manuscripts, with remarkable consistency between them, than there are for any of the classics like Plato, Aristotle and Socrates.
Again and again archaeological discoveries have verified the accuracy of the historical and cultural references in the Bible. The more they dig, the more it confirms the Bible.
Bible Versions and Translations Online
and
And why so many different Christian sects?
All of those Bible versions are very close and pretty much say and mean the same thing.
America helped to created the different Christian denomanations.
You attend where you feel the most comfortable and you think is the best that fits your ideology.
Not everyone thing in this world should be just one way of thinking to doing things.
Diversity is what America is all about.
The teachings of the gnostics’ flatly contradicts the Jesus of the Bible.
That is why those books were not accepted.
And who says those books aren't accepted? Other men.....it all goes back to a very very long game of Telephone.
The Gnostics were not even accepted when they were alive.
They did not believe in the resurrection of Jesus.
Were not accepted by whom? Who is it who have god's sheriff badge and gets to make the call as to whose ideas get accepted and put in the "book" and whose ideas get dumped?
