If your faith teaches that the Bible was inspired, why is the process of that inspiration not taught in Sunday School?
Why are people not taught the the agony over the inclusion/rejection of the books of the Apocrypha? Why is it not discussed that the Bibles used by the Protestant churches, Roman Catholic Church, and Eastern Orthodox Church are different?
Why is there seldom a discussion of the revolving door regarding the books of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation? (Each variously included and excluded for centuries.)
Why is it almost no Christians are aware that the books in the Bible were not settled upon until after Columbus had returned to Europe from the New World...for the fourth time? (In other words, the bible referred to before 1500 was not the book on your shelf or the back of your pew.)
Does such discussion open the faith to too much doubt regarding the Bible's reliability?
