Bible & Qur'an Say : DO NOT EAT PORK

Each time the Bible was re-copied, the person copying might put notes in the margin. Often when it was copied the next time, the person making that copy incorporated the notes into the text. I think you should be using something other than NPR as a source of theological reference. There are numerous books that discuss the history of the canon. In actuality, the copying of scripture was taken very seriously, there were numerous checks and cross-checks to assure that documents were copied correctly. In Old Testament times, a single error on a page led to the entire page being destroyed; they had a mechanism set up in which the letters across and down were added up and checked (an analog to our modern checksums). Y'think NPR has an agenda? Between the woodworking shows today I watched several PBS commercials touting their impartiality, balance and depth. Snickered at every one.... Know that the moderns are as zealous about letter by letter Torah as you say, but still willing to bet there is the odd commentary co-opted from somewhere along the way. In the case of the New Testament, it was created from the writings deemed suitable answers to issues of the time, with as many legitimate and contemporary writings deliberately left out. |

I'm keeping quiet about this one" Maybe his name really was Bejesus. |
