Joe the Plumber: Bible More Accurate Than Science Books Because It’s Never Been Revised

[JDPriestly]

42. And then there are the Gnostic Gospels and the simple but often forgotten

fact that Paul just kind of invented his own version of Christianity. He may have known people who actually knew Jesus during Jesus' short life, but Paul never spoke to Jesus. He may have spoken to Jesus' spiritual presence, but certainly not to the man himself while he walked the Earth.

And then, of course, some of the books of the Old Testament are clearly simply literature, good literature maybe, but just good stories. The Song of Solomon????

Here is Wikipedia on the history of the Bible. Prior to the printing press, manuscripts were copied by hand and, of course, subject to potential alterations with each copy.

Few Americans read Hebrew or Greek. We generally don't even read Latin. I would bet that Joe the Plumber reads one of the English versions of the Bible: King James Bible, New Revised Standard or one of the others. Special revisions for those of us who read the Bible in English.
