I think we'll never know who wrote the bible. Neither New or Old Testaments. John for example could have been Juhan, Juan, June or Jonah. With so many revisions and rewrites its hard to tell what the original text meant, or who it was originally written by. Not to mention how many times its been changed over the years. Even what we assume are original copies of it might be stories passed down from older texts that have withered away. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Bible isn't a collection of literature that's simply written by Christians, they're binded together because of its theological content, that is, it's message for people. I presume you're talking about the apocrypha. There isn't much theological significance in that other than it being it some sort of fanfiction about Christianity. ... Copied to Clipboard!

True on the Peter revelation book being an apocryphal book. The Apocrypha though is weird because some regions have a book or 2 in the Bible that isn't in other bibles. Even different branches have different bibles. Catholic and orthodox bibles have more books in them than protestant bibles. So being a protestant I have never had a Bible that had 73 books like the Catholics do. I'm thinking about reading those extras though. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Since no one has bothered to write actual scholarly material..I like the Revelations one where supposed learned Christians who quote bible and verse assume its Apostle John. Whens its another John almost a century later. There events will never happen either. Ever had a fever dream? It reads like one --- I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me- ... Copied to Clipboard!

He was persecuted by the Romans and Jews, all the while he was told by Jesus that the 2nd coming was... coming. Being isolated on an island like that, the stress most likely gotten to him. Doesn't mean it's not divine or anything, but we can't rule out that he had some kind of mania, considering the conspiritory level nonsense that's there with the symbolisms and metaphors. ...
