Challenging Ancient writings is not wrong, or as you say, wicked. In fact, it's just the opposite. IMO, God expects us to seek the truth, not some idea written by people we know nothing about during a time we know not of.
Do you realize that the New Testament wasn't written as you might suppose? For example, the 4 Gospels were not even written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, and possibly after they were already dead (60-100 years A.D.).
I saw that on the history channel also my friend....I just thought to myself how can anyone on Gods green earth know when these books were written. They are not even dated...This is mere speculation by so called scholars that have set out to say the Bible is not the word of God. They are completely making stuff up with no evidence of half of their statements. But they are 'respected" because they are "PHDs"(the history channel is not on the side of the Bible at all folks, neither are these so called scholars)
Do you also understand that the New Testament is written in the common language of Rome, known as Greek? Have you ever studied the religious History of Rome and the idolatry they embrace in their Culture?
The New Testament was written by the Apostles, it was not tainted in any way, shape or form by Greek culture. The more you understand it, the more you realize it...
Most don't know this, either; the Book of Revelation was not added to the original Canon until the last decade of the 4th Century.
That has nothing to do with it not being the word of God, The newly formed catholic church merely collected these manuscripts to preserve them.
Christianity, as we know it, was delivered throughout Europe, and the then known World, via the Roman Catholic Church and during Romes push to dominate the Earth. Why do you think people fled England to the Americas (one reason)? The State Religion was, Catholic, and their Bible was the King James. They rebelled against Religion to pursue a different God than they were forced to accept.
My friend you are totally wrong, the King James Bible was a product of the REFORMATION. King James was a protestant and ordered it put together in the common English language for the first official English Bible. The Catholic kings and queens prior to James forbid the Bible to be printed in English.
Speaking of delusion, Jesus pointed out that the Religious were the blind hypocrites we were to look out for, not the doubting Thomas who wanted to know the facts.
