Re: Good questions
Hi Booboo,
Please don't take ths the wrong way, but I am shocked that you know so little about the Bible and its development, I am truly amazed that you know so little about it!
You see, the gospel was written in by St. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, spanning (the original documents) from 50-70 AD
Let me let you in on a secret Booboo, these names were simply given to ANONYMOUS documents by the church fathers!
No one knows who wrote ANY of the gospels, and very very few scholars would agree that the Matthew we have was written by Matthew Levi.
You do know that Mark was the earliest gospel and whoever wrote Matthew simply reproduced 90% of Mark? The author of Matthew is famous for trawling through the Hebrew Bible and inventing stories to make Jesus look like the Messiah, Matthew 'Fictional Prophecies' have been an embarrassment to Christian scholars for centuries.
Matthew 1:23 'The Virgin Birth'
Matthew 2:17-18 'Slaughter of the Innocents'
Matthew 2:15 'Out of Egypt I have called my son'
Matthew 2:23 He will be called a Nazarene
Matthew 12:15 Not in the Old Testament
Matthew 27:9 Misquotes a prophet,
Matthew is a terrible mess of a book, his invention of a guard at Jesus' tomb is an explicit lie.
Today, it is known that the King James version is most original and most authentic, because it matches much more closely to translations from Greek and Hebrew that were around just a few decades following Christ.
Today it is known that the KJV of 1611 was the most erroneous translation of all time!
If the 1611 was so perfect why are there so many subsequent editions ?
I find it particularly amusing that the 1611 version gave Tiglath-Pileser as two different people!
You seem to have difficulty in understanding that the original KJV would have to be based on texts available in 1611, and that the modern versions have access to many more documents that the KJV compilers did.
Remember that we do not have ANY original texts, so we CANNOT know for certain what they contained.
Here's a poser for you: Should Mark's gospel finish at chapter 16 verse 8?
