Sexism in the bible, my theory.

Old testament -->Genisis - Malachi
New testament --> Matthew - Revelation

Or were you asking something else?

the old testament was written before jesus, the new testamint was written just before his birth, till now.

Actually, it is my understanding that the New wasn't put together until many many years after Jesus' death. And many of the books in the New testament were not written til years after his death, either.

The new testament is a product of the church. It is simply a collection of books written about Jesus, and put together many many years later. As a matter of fact, there were several books found that were discarded altogether.

One being "The Gospel of Thomas"

Another one that was supposidly the work of jesus. Ah well who really knows?

[JunkYard]

None of them are the work of Jesus...

thats the thing about it, i could never trust humans enough.

i'm not religious. but if there was any truth to what jesus said, i'm sure that it would have been manipulated, some left out and i'm sure some completely fabricated. That is why i dont think the bible should be looked on as truth.

if you read the bible and it makes your life better than so be it. it dosn't need to be true to do that.

I was also unsure about the new/old test. i always thought it odd that there could be like a New and improved bible

I feel the same as you, Harris. It can be a very good guide book, but when you start taking it all as absolute truth, I think you miss the best part about it. To me the best part is simply seperating the BS from the gems of wisdom, and attempting to apply the latter into life existence.

I love reading the Bible, and I love talking about it. I'm not a religious man, but I do enjoy searching through the many. Although, the many is limited in my case, lol!

I just find the subject facinating...
