Why don't Christains seem to know or acknowledge so many things about the Bible and their own religion's history? For instance:
Christianity spilt off from Judaism.
The Bible was formed from many Jewish texts. In fact, the Old Testament is derived from standard Jewish writings and codes. When Jesus came as a Jewish prophet, the Jews debated whether he was The Christ fortold of. Christ-ians said, "Yes" and Jews said, "Nope".
Islam spilt from the early Christian faiths.
After Jesus, Mohammed came along. He was another "Prophet". Most of Islam actually believes in Jesus folks! The virgin birth, the raising of the dead, that he was a prophet of God, the whole bit. Jews said, "Jesus wasn't the Christ, just a prophet of God". Christians said, "Jesus was The Christ and the last Prophet", Muslims said, "Nope, God sent Mohammed to clear up the confusian after Jesus".
So far as the Bible being the literal "Word of God" can someone explain which version of the Bible that actually is?
