Another thing I have been thinking about is when Christianity was first being formed 200-300 AD it was copied into 400 languages, by sometime it the mid 300's it was copied only in one language, why? It was to keep the common folk stupid, to make themselves more powerful. Besides the down-fall of
If you take a look at history once the bible started to be printed in other languages that is the time literacy started to rise, why is that you ask? Because people wanted to be able to read and learn the bible in their language, not in some dead language that they would never use.
And over that 1000 year period when not many were able to read and understand Latin. It was being translated over and over, usually at a cost of accuracy. Most scribes who copied it couldn't read Latin and wouldn't know if they were making a mistake or not, they couldn't proof read it. I am sure mixing symbols and not fully understanding what they were writing resulted in mistakes. Back then it was a very tedious process to copy anything it was all done by hand.
I know it may look like I am bashing the Bible but that is not my intent, I really and truly love Jesus and the Bible. But I think just as we have realized that there were mistakes made in copying it by humans, there could have been other mistakes as well.
I am not trying to bash here nor am I trying to get bashed, I know religion is a very sensitive area. I was merely writing what I was thinking, so I implore you, if you are going to reply... be easy. :)
