I would not presume to know.And maybe that's why it wasn't accepted into canon, you think?
You're right. I never said I was an expert on the Bible as everyone else here is. Though baptized christian and having grown up with the Bible, going to Sunday mass and bible school as a kid and even once having memorized all the books of the Bible, today, it is but one of about a half dozen religions I've studied, plus having mentored for a time under the tutelage of a bonafide holy man or spiritual master (pick your own term) who used to give talks before the UN until his passing about 15 years ago.Maybe if you made the statement that the Bible was written "hundreds of years" after Christ lived--and made that statement more than once--you don't know as much as you think you do. Maybe?
I never claimed to be any expert on the Bible here, I was merely commenting on the nature of ideas and how they relate to the material world in a way that is well-documented and accepted for a very long time, and to lay support to the idea that at least in principle, your attacks upon FJB's efforts to create a palpable story-line of ideas to introduce children to the ideas fleshed out in the Bible of sharing, loving and unity are premature and uncalled for.
You questioned other people if they were believers, yet how little faith have you shown here in this thread for people who do believe.
