To anotherperson:
Pious Fraud is
Pious fraud was a common technique employed by early Christian writers to make a point. Their intention was to convert anyone and everyone by any means available. One of the more persuasive methods was to write a text and falsely tell others that it was written in first person.

Yes...you're right.
Both Torat and Bible have fraud in them. The Jews' priests altered Torat and the Christian's priests altered Bible in favour of their interest.

It is so obvious that you have not read the real Bible but a fairy tale that you want many to believe. You are not of God obviously. You can try your tricks on someone who doesn't know the Bible but I know my King James Bible VERY well and you are wrong.
Go read your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to show you what you REALLY need to know and stop making up stories for the ignorant to hear.
I am not one of your ignorant unread people that you can fool. I will pray for you.

fraud as in untruths and impossibilities? it's a storybook, the worlds first self help book, some people choose to take it (like other gurus like Opra) seriously to the point of it being religious.
Here's an interesting tidbit: The bible describes an impossible figure, a circle with a circumference of three and a radius of one

I noticed that there are much, much more people on yahoo answers who are desperately trying to deny existence of God than those who actually try to defend their religious stand. Here’s my opinion:
People simply love to worship things instead of being free like the birds.
Something changed in the year of 175 because since that year they stopped killing Christians. Priests at that time hid some facts from people in order to please authorities hungry for ruling and to put themselves in better material position. Jesus said that only those whose heart is not hardened in sin can understand, meaning only those who don’t look at the world via material prism can understand this faith. De Vinci’s Code is work of a pure atheist who is thinking purely materialistically but who gave some correct points about the Church. Real Christians are not wearing long shiny dresses and golden Crosses. They live among us as modest, common citizens; those that you meet once in life but you memorize them immediately because something about them is so pleasant and kind. They are those that are happily whistling in a large queue at the supermarket or patiently wait for you to move your car without pointing the finger because they have peace and they are free of all obsessions and they enjoy in every minute without any fears because they discovered God. 10 commandments are for our sake, not for the sake of somebody who felt powerful when bringing them. If someone doesn’t understand this faith, he should look in his heart and see if he is actually a good person. It is not possible to buy the stairways to heaven or to cash out for your sins. Tell me if it’s easy to refuse a well paid job over a small time business that gives you opportunity to watch your children grow and have enough money only for basic standards. Many of our fathers did. That is why I’m happy and don’t need drugs. If some one is not strong enough to take the path of Christianity he should think again when he wants to judge others who are.

I am amazed at how hard people came down on you. Gosh people can be ignorant and rude and just have no class whatsoever. People have the right to believe whatever they want to believe. And for someone to say that you aren't "of" God.. get over yourself! Just who do yuo think you are?
As for your question, I have had my own reasons to not believe long before the Davinci Code came out if that is what you are referring to. But I just heard of this as I haven't read the book yet.. but I am curious to read it and see what the fuss is all about. :) Take care!

Your question is a bit vague. Do you mean there were people in the Bible times that commited fraud? or the Bible itself is fraudulent?

Lots of things had been changed in the bible by men for their advantage. The bible does not make sense anymore.

why would you say that there is fraud in the Holy Bible? i bet that if you read it carefully, you will know that it is 100% accurate in every aspect of it. however, it would be my pleasure to correctly clarify any passages that you've misunderstood and/or misinterpreted. God bless you.

The truth is that no one KNOWS anything about anything, but most people THINK they do. It's all just manufactured thought.
One man's fraud is another mans belief, but neither makes it so.

What's the fraud? You can't say that without giving anyone evidence.
