(16,067 posts)We really don't know what Jesus said or did...what we have are writings from people who more then likely weren't even there and got all of their information either 3rd or 4th hand!
And then the church edited it sometime in the 4th Century, from at least 8,000 documents, that for all we know were never authenticated...and a small group of men then decided what was and wasn't acceptable based on thier own personal desires.
In other words the final result was a document based on hearsay and manipulated by men more interested in power and control over the people...and who were able to use this same book as a reason to murder others who had a different opinion....kind of like what the religious right wants to do to any who don't tow their line!
