... ... ... And The Book which Christians call the Old Testament, and is otherwise called by the Ashkenites, was written by a man referenced in the New Testament as The Prophet. The N.T. makes it clear that at the time of The Lord many Jews were aware of this, while some I suppose were caught up in the fables 'tencing that there was no "fiction" adhere.

Dear "pressing on",
I do reference passages from the KING JAMES Bible, but I was naive and I failed to reference the passage which mentioned The Prophet: However! it is very much toward the begining of the King James New Testament, so if you read from the begining it shouldn't take you long: yet it's written sub-versively even the Pope would miss it.
Also, later in the work, it is documented that, 'Some (of the Jews) said He was THE PROPHET an, others said He was Christ.'
So you know it's clear as water, and next time I reread J's Book I'll definitly reference all this!
[sorry but try to work with that even if it means reading the whole thing -- can't hurt!]

P.S.:
How come they haven't yielded to us a WorldWide Google Search for the Bible?
God knows everyone wants it!

Did you know that this is probably the most important part of the new testiment???
John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
only Gen 22:2
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

"(try to believe me)"
I'm trying but you'll have to provide some evidence!
According to my research, the book that Christians call the Bible, made up of the Old and New Testaments didn't really come together as a written work until long after Jesus was crucified. My sources say the New Testament was written by, disciples of Jesus ie. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and Saul (Paul).
Archeological discoveries like The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Rosetta Stone tend to validate that version. On what are you basing your claim?

I usually don't read much fiction, but am always amazed at the imagination and story-telling demonstrated in such early writings as The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer; as well as the cleverly written, notable black book written anonymously, so as to appear to have been penned by so many of the novel's main characters, their names placed in chapter headings as collaborative authors. Clever for its time, it is! It's no wonder that one book drew such a cult-following, spanning centuries, being passed down from one generation to the next, as fables often are, until it actually becomes construed by many to actually represent true events, places and people. I especially like the story about the old man building a wooden boat in his backyard and getting mated couples of EVERY species of animal and plant onto it, with food sufficient to feed them all, as well as his family! (heheha) And then, he, his wife and their own children repopulate the earth after a great flood of rain drowns all other people and animals. Well, nothing was known of in-breeding back then, so it may have been commonly practiced that brothers and sisters and their mother and father would all enjoy sex with one another... they must have kept busy!
Oh well, I guess the message is that incest is ok, if kept within the family! I don't know- that book's full of controversial subjects... I don't much care for the message it sends to our young people. It can only confuse them and contribute to retardation of their morals and understanding of the real world.

Where in the New Testament is it referenced one man wrote......
Please, exactly where. I would like to check that out. Have the King James Bible, New King James Bible, American Standard Bible, New International Bible, Wycliffe's Bible Dictionary and Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.
I understand a certain percentage of the Jewish population would only recognize Jesus as a prophet, that is noted in God's Word.
He was refused by many, even his brothers disbelieved who He was.
But, as far as writing the New Testament, please direct me to that passage, I'd really like to see it. Thanks.

Actually the entire Bible, Old and New Testaments were written by men who were moved by the Spirit of Christ. Any other assertion is either ignorance or outright blasphemy.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
Joh 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
Joh 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Joh 1:6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh 1:7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
Joh 1:8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
Joh 1:9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
Joh 1:11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:15 John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"
Joh 1:16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
Joh 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
Joh 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

The Bible Stands Alone
Compiled by Jordan and Justin Drake
In 1889 a schoolteacher told a ten-year-old boy, "You will never amount to very much." That boy was Albert Einstein. In 1954 a music manager told a young singer, "You ought to go back to driving a truck." That singer was Elvis Presley. In 1962 a record company told a group of singers, "We don’t like your sound. Groups with guitars are definitely on their way out." They said that to the Beatles. Man is prone to make mistakes. Those who reject the Bible should take the time to look at the evidence before they come to a verdict.
1. It is unique in its continuity.
If just 10 people today were picked who were from the same place, born around the same time, spoke the same language, and made about the same amount of money, and were asked to write on just one controversial subject, they would have trouble agreeing with each other. But the Bible stands alone. It was written over a period of 1,600 years by more than 40 writers from all walks of life. Some were fishermen; some were politicians. Others were generals or kings, shepherds or historians. They were from three different continents, and wrote in three different languages. They wrote on hundreds of controversial subjects yet they wrote with agreement and harmony. They wrote in dungeons, in temples, on beaches, and on hillsides, during peacetime and during war. Yet their words sound like they came from the same source. So even though 10 people today couldn’t write on one controversial subject and agree, God picked 40 different people to write the Bible—and it stands the test of time.
2. It is unique in its circulation.
The invention of the printing press in 1450 made it possible to print books in large quantities. The first book printed was the Bible. Since then, the Bible has been read by more people and printed more times than any other book in history. By 1930, over one billion Bibles had been distributed by Bible societies around the world. By 1977, Bible societies alone were printing over 200 million Bibles each year, and this doesn’t include the rest of the Bible publishing companies. No one who is interested in knowing the truth can ignore such an important book.
3. It is unique in its translation.
The Bible has been translated into over 1,400 languages. No other book even comes close.
4. It is unique in its survival.
In ancient times, books were copied by hand onto manuscripts which were made from parchment and would decay over time. Ancient books are available today only because someone made copies of the originals to preserve them. For example, the original writings of Julius Caesar are no longer around. We know what he wrote only by the copies we have. Only 10 copies still exist, and they were made 1,000 years after he died. Only 600 copies of Homer’s The Iliad exist, made 1,300 years after the originals were written. No other book has as many copies of the ancient manuscripts as the Bible. In fact, there are over 24,000 copies of New Testament manuscripts, some written within 35 years of the writer’s death.
5. It is unique in withstanding attack.
No other book has been so attacked throughout history as the Bible. In A.D. 300 the Roman emperor Diocletian ordered every Bible burned because he thought that by destroying the Scriptures he could destroy Christianity. Anyone caught with a Bible would be executed. But just 25 years later, the Roman emperor Constantine ordered that 50 perfect copies of the Bible be made at government expense. The French philosopher Voltaire, a skeptic who destroyed the faith of many people, boasted that within 100 years of his death, the Bible would disappear from the face of the earth. Voltaire died in 1728, but the Bible lives on. The irony of history is that 50 years after his death, the Geneva Bible Society moved into his former house and used his printing presses to print thousands of Bibles.
The Bible has also survived criticism. No book has been more attacked for its accuracy. And yet archeologists are proving every year that the Bible’s detailed descriptions of historic events are correct.

The Bible was written by many people. Not just two. There were scriptures written by Paul and others.
