My theory goes as follows:
There were 12 disciples. They all had different opinions and perceptions of God and Jesus Christ. They went to different parts of the world to spread their word. Hence 12 different languages, and hence (here's the shocker) the 12 mainstream religions of the world, ie: Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc.
What do you think?

What makes you think the bibles of today are the same as thousands of years ago?
And I'm asking for opinions, not so-called "facts"

Asolutely not...
1. the 12 diciples of Jesus wasn't having either a different opinion nor perception, they have the same opinions and perceprion only from a different point of view...
If you read the book of mathew, Marc, Luke and John, they're telling the same story about Jesus'es live, the same story but different point of view, one speak about love, other speak about wisdom, and other about miracle, etc...
2. the different language of the world was already long before Jesus'es time, Jesus'es ive was about 1 A.D, while at that time many different culture has their own laguage.
Acording to the Holy Bible, the language of the world was chaosed by God in the time of the Babel tower was build, that's like 2000 years before Jesus. And the historian and archelogist agree with that...
3. the 12'th mainstream religion of the world? can you sort them all out?
the mainstream religion (Christian, Islam, and Jew) was all one at the first, all was a the blood line of Adam, of Abraham... their was no religion at the time, that's why when they pray, they're reffering to the God of their ancestors...
Then Abraham having 2 sons, one was Ismael wich being cast away and became the Islam, and the other one Isaac was became the Jew...
The Christian was came after the 12 disciples spread out after Jesus lifted up to the Heaven.
Hope this help
Bless You

The mainstream religions are; Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism (from my Religious Studies classes at school), so where does 12 come from. The times where these religions began were from times different to Christianity e.g. Judaism was created about a 1000 years before Jesus was even born and christianity created...

There were more Gospels written but the powers that are Trinitarian Christians (those that believe in the trinity) have destroyed most of other Gospels.
One has to ask why? Is it because they are afraid of the truth and all their power and money will be lost?
There are some bibles like Roman Catholic, Protestant, Coptic and Orthodox that are available all with some book missing/additions to. So there is no such thing as one bible.

It depends on what you mean by original, the church chose the best bits when the bible as we know was put together, but what you should ask is how much of the bible was written in mans words, instead of Gods??

Interesting idea, but all religions have long complex histories that can be traced to people other than the disciples. And what would the 12 religions be? You idea is kind of cute tho.

All of the apostles were members of ONE Church, the one Christ founded. They were ONE in belief, ONE in worship, just as Christ said they would be. Therefore none of them preached heretical ideas like those of Islam. Besides, Islam didn't begin until centuries after the apostles were dead. And Judaism began centuries before they were alive.

Your timing and thoughts are flawed. Many of these mainstream religions predated the disciples and have no common ideology - Christ=son of god yada yada yada

I know it isn't the same as what you're asking but from what i believe the bible was written in the 14th century, by men, for men. Figures.

What do I think?
I think history contradicts your theory.
We don't have to guess at these things.
It is a simple question of research.
Or is that a dirty word for most people?

The disciples were jews who killed jesus so what you are reading today is a false book. The real Bible only exists but in Israel.
