I agree that it is out of date, but I don't think that you can just go and arbitrarily change the content.  And by whose standards would it change?\n\nI think that there are many misinterpretations of the bible over the centuries.\n\nI am going to be ordering one that is supposed to be a direct translation from the orginal Aramaic New Testament to see what the difference is.  It is called The Modern New Testament : Translated from the Original Aramaic Sources by G. Lamsa.\n\nHaving said that, I also think that much of the bible directly speaks to that generation's society and political culture and therefore, not a lot of it has to do with how things are in this day and age, although I feel that Jesus taught us timeless lessons of love and acceptance and faith.  \n\nBut I don't believe that Jesus was the only master and that timeless lessons were taught by Mohammed and Buddha and many other masters as well.

It's no mystery.  The old testament covers Jewish morality.  Start with the ten commandments, for example.  You know Jewish morality already, you just don't realize it.

It depends. I spoke to our Parish priest about that, (^_^) and he said that it was INSPIRED in the prophets who wrote it, so in reality it was not really what Jesus exactly says (or said).\n \n(^_^)

I have not read anywhere that Jesus instructed anyone to write anything. The man was a walking contradiction, and his apostles were divided about what he taught. Jesus was used by others to start a revolution. This happens every so often, and the world needed it to happen at that particular time. I don't believe Jesus taught what the Christian bible says.

I will make this simple for you; the people that followed the Old Testament god killed Jesus. If Jesus came back to earth today; the people following the Old Testament, will kill him again. The Old Testament god is not the real god and is a contradictory of everything Jesus taught. Someone following this god is not a Christian.

We as Christains are not bound by the old testament anymore thats why Jesus came to set us free from those laws..Jesus says to love one another as He has loved us..Very plain..To know Jesus we will want to walk more like Him everyday and not do things to cause us to be seprated..

Well, honey.. u are right, when some one learn of christians' history they will know that the scriptures, letters etc, that compiled in the bible was written after Jesus was taken up to heaven by God. Several writers wrote the story of Jesus according to the scriptures they found and later on, they exaggerated the stories themselves, thus u can see that the difference or discrepancies of stories in New testament are apparent! u can compare the latest stories of Jesus (Paul) with the the earliest scriptures as in this web :-\n\nhttp://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/chron.html\n\nMost christians doesnt understand why ACCURACY is IMPORTANT in a Holy Books! They Dont understand that God WOULD NOT make Mistakes and Discrepancies in his own Words, in a Holy Books!! Thats the problems!! If they dont understand that, they wont understand which is true and which is wrong. They cant even think of it..

The path in the old testament is clear. Obediance, contrition, fear\nthe path in the many books that make up the new testament are a little harder to follow. I'd like to think that any God worth his salt would let in everyone innocent of major sin. Why would a God create all these people who never have a chance to learn about Jesus only to condem them to hell? I guess this is the same God who would have wild bears maul 42 children for calling someone "baldy" (2 kings 2:23)

Everbody here seems to be an expert, but their answers are all partially incorrect.\n\nWhat Christians call the Old Testament is a adaptation of the Jeiwsh Tanakh, or Jewish Bible.  The difference is that the Christian Ol Testament contain 6 xtra chapters that are not part of the Jewish Bible.  In addition, many of the words in the Christian version are mistranslated by accident or on purpose!  The changes were made to support the Idea that Jesus is the true messiah which the Jews do not accept.\n\nNotice that many Christian rely on the KJV bible, or King James Version.  This was created over one thosand years after Jesus died.  KIng James was not a bible expert, he just decided what he wanted and printded his own version.\n\nThe bst way to know what the Tanakh contains in its original for is to get a English trnaslation of it.  It is know that the version Jews use today is almost exaclty the same word for word as the original version created thousands of years ago.\n\nSo to answer your question, Jews ignore the "Old Testament" completely!  In fact, Christians should be reading the Tanakh!

No, not god. \nI forget who it was exactly, but there was a committee that determined which of the over 100 books that were in use around 100-200AD would go into the new testament, and which ones would be omitted. They tried to pick ones that continued the power of the church, and tried also only to pick ones that didn't seem to contradict each other. Had they used all of them, there would be many contradictions, even though they are all supposedly divinely inspired.

that might have been contradicting to the ideas of some other author.  This way you can see how the Bible is tried to be manipulated by some shrewd persons. In that case where remains the authenticity of the Bible, where any body can modify any part of the Bible?

Matthew, Mark, and Luke did edit their books based on oral and written traditions passed down.  There were also probably later redactions.  It was the church that decided what was canonical- that is, what should be taken into account and studied.

#1.  It was written too late to have been written by an apostle or a companion of an apostle.\n\n#2. The content contradicts the rest of the New Testament.\n\n#3.  It was never accepted by the early church.\n\nThe New Testament was in its complete form before the end of the first century, long before Constantine or the Roman Catholic Church.  There never was any reason to accept "The Gospel of Judas."

As I am Jewish, I find a lot of contradictions in Christians. And narrow minded ideals, which is also a contradiction, as Jesus taught the exact OPPOSITE of that sort of behaviour. So forgive me, but you goyim just confuse the hell out of me.

There are all kinds of contradictions in the bible.

That's what he said, and, if you think about it, it is absolutly true.  In the beginning Jesus led a sect of Jews.  Then the gentliles who began to follow Jesus didn't like the Jewish regulations, so, they split off.  That began a long history of the  followers of Jesus splitting over and over again, often over things Jesus said nothing at all about.
