Romans 8:28 King James Version (KJV)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

RCB, do you know that the missing link between our Primate ancestors and human beings was discovered to be DNA that had been manipulated in some way, about 220 - 250000 years ago? The older I get the more I question religion. It's been responsible for more deaths and wars than anything else in the History of mankind. It divides people and causes mayhem wherever it's practised. I sometimes ask myself if it was created to keep the masses docile and under control. We're all entitled to our opinions and views on things and I just prefer to think straight and question things that people try to convince me to believe, just because they do. I prefer an open mind, because to be truthful nobody on this Earth knows for certain, except what they read in a book, that was edited in the 17th century, to appease King James the VI of Scotland, who was also King James the 1st of England. The Bible has had a lot omitted from it. I wonder why that was? Something to hide, or don't want to be discovered I bet?

OP

Concerning the Bible being changed

Considering the bible is a collection off books and lots if translations you cant deny change. But the core meassage of the Bible has not changed.
The idea that the bible has ben through huge changes is a stretch and something done to weaken the faith of people who are trying to use it to know God. It isn’t really based on an understanding of how the texts are passed down or translated.

RCB, what I was trying to say is the bible has been changed and parts omitted from it. I want to ask "Why?" It should've been left the way it was and the omitted books like The Protevangelion, The Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas. The Epistles of Jesus Christ and Abgarus King of Edessa.
The Gospel of Nicodemus (Acts of Pilate)
The Apostles' Creed (throughout history)
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Laodiceans. Why were these left out and why aren't real Christians questioning this? That's what I want to know? Would you accept your car going into the garage for a service and coming out again, minus two wheels? I wouldn't and neither should you. What is about these books that the church doesn't want you to know? I was raised a Catholic and the Catholic religion has posed more questions to me, than it has ever answered! I still believe in God, but in my own way. Not the one that people try to press gang you into believing. Yes, I'm a free thinker. If I wasn't meant to think this way, I wouldn't be in the frame of mind I'm in just now. We were given free will for a reason and I do question things. That's only human nature to do so. I always find though that people want to avoid answering those questions I ask and all I want to know is "Why?" I'm meant to listen to people preaching to me, but I can't query what they're telling me? Come off it, fairs fair!
