* You said :" the Bible is not just one single book. It is actually a collection of 66 books, which is called the canon of scriptures. These 66 books contain a variety of genres.
1- Do you believe that all the Bible "the word of God" or the 66 books are attributed to their authors?.
2- Do you believe that the Old Testament and the New Testament are the two parts of the Bible and they are the words of God as all Christians believe ?
3- Are you sure that all the Bibles all over the world 66 books? I think that in the single-family you can see the version of the father is different from the version of the mother and the version of the son is different from the version of the daughter . In my poor knowledge every sect has its own Bible such as:
The Copy of the Protestants is 66 chapters
The copy of the Catholicos is 73 chapters
The copy of the Greek Orthodox is 75 chapters
The copy of the Ethiopian Orthodox is 81 chapters
The copy of the east Orthodox in Eastern Europe is 87 chapters
--- Which of these Bibles is the word of God? Please tell me if you can.Who added and who removed from The Holy Bible?
--- Also there are a lot of verses were removed from " the New International Version" Please read the introduction of the bible and check the verses .Also revise the New Revised Standard Version . You will see a lot of verses that were moved from the Bible because they are not found in the oldest manuscripts.Who added these verses? !!!!!
* You said :" these 66 books were written by 40 different authors over 1500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents And most of these authors never knew one another personally. "
1- Then the Bible is a human made written by 40 authors who do not know each other.That justifies the big mistakes, the terrible contradictions and the scientific errors in the Bible. Do not say that they wrote the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit !!!!!! Why do you say that the Bible is the word of God? I am waiting for you anwer to my questions ......
