I am a Christian, a real Christian. 8 Years ago I put my faith in Jesus Christ & since then, I've followed in His Word, the Bible, and studied it everyday of my life. So, as a true christian, I do not believe in some books of the Bible and deny others.

Ok Mr. TRUE CHRISTIAN (TM)

The Bible is God's Word and inerrant and I believe that when Paul says, "if anyone adds anything to them(the whole Bible), God will add to him the plagues." Bible: non-negotiable. Jesus: way, Truth, and life.

Take another 8 years to figure out that Paul never said (or wrote) such a thing.

There is more proof that there was a Jesus Christ who went around performing miracles and preaching then there is that there was a Marcus Aeralius.

---

Such a claim you make, but again, where is this proof you speak of? Don't you see... you make a claim and I ask you for proof and you provide none.

And if you dont believe the claim about The chariot wheels and stuff at the bottom of the ocean, go read any Egyptian history book. it will include the story of how the Egyptian Army (which was at the time the strongest in the world) was reduced to nothing in the matter of a day because of the Red Sea. Egypt ceased being a world power that day. Why would that be unless The Red Sea really did collapse on the army?

If it is so easy to find, then you should have no problem proving your assertion. Remember that in this game, the person who makes the positive claim is burdened with proving it. That means it is your job and when I make a positive assertion, then you can be assured that it will be my responsibility to back it up. Until you can provide me with a specific reference, I cannot comment.

4 writers wrote stories about Jesus, and those are the ones in the bible, there were several that didnt make it into the Bible.

---

Four biased Christian authors wrote about Jesus. They had a theological axe to grind. Luke even explicitly states that his purpose so that people will believe in Jesus. Again, Luke and Matthew used Mark as their primary source. Ultimately, you have 2 Christian witnesses in the Bible. Yes there are other "Gospels", but they are so far fetched that even numb skulled Christians could recognize them as absurd and non-historical.

if Joseph Smith is correct, only 1 person recorded everything that happened then. there was nobody else? that seems kinda fishy...

---

More correctly, Smith merely translated these plates as witnessed by the 10 who signed. It is feasible that when given that these events took place that they were written down and compiled later onto the plates much like the Bible was compiled well after the individual works had been written. You should, perhaps, ask the question of your own religion as to why they don't have a single original manuscript of any book the The Books.
