I've read comments from those of you that still cling to the Bible stating that there's no merit in the Di Vinci Code's claim concerning the conference in Nicea in 325. We all know that book is fiction but like all great fiction, there's some truth behind the story. Some of you have made statements that the NT was actually written by the Apostles, which I refuted, and after asking for and not reciveing information from you believers any Bible scholars anywhere that would go on record saying they believed the NT was in fact written by the apostles; i decided to researcht he subject on my own. I could find no scholars that believed the apostles wrote the NT; as a matter of fact, they all said the apostles couldn't have written them. For you believers, the offer still stands, show me where any scholar-i'm talking a person in a secular position at any University that will state on record that he/she believes the apostles actually wrote the NT. I've just finished 6 books on the subject, all of the writers were sceptical of the NT's orgins; everyone of them agreed that the apostles didn't write the NT; everyone of them said the NT was filled with errors.
In my mind, tHe best book by far was written by Bible scholar Bart D. Ehrman and is called "misquoting Jesus" his research shows the NT is filled with errors and was definatly used by the Catholic Church to further doctrines they already beleived before Nicea in 325. One early Bible scholar found over 30,000 errors from previous transcripts that conflicted with the NT message; he proved that transcribers changed the NT to their liking time and again. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone; the account in Luke which every Bible scholar now agrees shouldn't be in there becasue it wasn't on the earlier parchments is a prime example. Anyway, too much info to cover on a post; I'm still waiting for a believer to offer me a scholar that will state that they believe the NT is accurate and was written by the apostles.. Please check out this book if you already haven't; it was an amaizing read and also shows how error filled the NWT used by the WT is ands how error filled the NT is. HUff
