Has the Bible been specifically rewritten to ensnare people in Dogma?

Question

Black and White just ain't right!

I realize this question cannot really be answered straight forwardly because individual opnions play deeply into it, sort of like asking "Does the President like Strawberry or Grape Jelly?"
What better way to seize power than by having your scribe change some tenses around thus changing the idea of religion as a whole?
Yes, thanks for the definition of Dogma; yet there is something fundametally wrong with Dogma as it's been created by man.
But what is the truth?
1. the true or actual state of a matter
2. conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement.
3. a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like: mathematical truths.

Answer 1

well over thousands of years, the manuscript evidence woudl disagree with you. If it was rewritten to ensnare ppl in dogma, then you would expect christians to look better in their own book.
David was an adulter

Paul was a murderer.

Peter denied Christ.

Solomon was a polygamist.

I could go on and on.


dog·ma (dôg'mə, dŏg'-) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. dog·mas or dog·ma·ta (-mə-tə)

1. A doctrine or a corpus of doctrines relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth in an authoritative manner by a church.

Dogma has such a negative cannotation but every organization has rules and statutes. Let's not torture the english language too much.

Answer 2

I think not because the current form of the Bible is one of the most accurately checked book with the most existing ancient copies of any book in history. The people who originally kept the Scriptures even before they were collected believed that this was the Word of God, and so the penalty would be really bad if they tried to change or rewrite it. I'm not saying this makes the book true, I'm just saying that it probably was not rewritten by people with a different agenda.


Now if you mean that Kevin Smith movie Dogma, that's a different story.

Answer 3

Rarely has the Bible been "specifically rewritten" to ensnare people in Dogma. One exception probably would be the "New World Translation"

Most translations are done by a wide range of scholars fluent in the original languages AND in the receptor language. The purpose of such translations are to try to keep the meaning of the original but expressed in the current use of the language (eg, English)..

Answer 4

Even by looking at different Gospels one can see that theological emphasis changed with time. The latest one, Gospel of John, clearly was written to make indoctrination easier.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

I don't know what black and white have to do with anything but the events in the Bible took place to FREE the world from bondage, not to enslave.

Blessed Be

Answer 7

No, there have been too many educated people critically studying the Bible for too many years for someone to slip something in.

But I am not sure I really understand just exactly what you mean?-- "black and white just ain't right"???

explain????

Answer 8

God forbid. Don't say that! The babel is the infallible word of God. Jeebus loves me this I know cause the babel tells me so. Ahhhh, everything is right in the world.

Answer 9

God reveals the truth to those who seek it with value to others it is simply words on a page.

Answer 10

Uh, no.

You can thank Satan for that. Dogma is a rule that isn't in the Bible.
