The Catholic Encyclopedia states Bible is Skeptic and Concocted
A. THE FORMATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CANON (A.D. 100-220)
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03274a.htm
The idea of a complete and clear-cut canon of the New Testament existing from the beginning, that is from Apostolic times, has no foundation in history. The Canon of the New Testament, like that of the Old, is the result of a development, of a process at once stimulated by disputes with doubters, both within and without the Church, and retarded by certain obscurities and natural hesitations, and which did not reach its final term until the dogmatic definition of the Tridentine Council. ("Canon of the New Testament")
There is a lot of confusion about the earliest existing texts of the Bible. The oldest extant manuscript of the Bible is believed to be the Codex Vaticanus, (preserved in the Vatican Library), which is slightly older than the Codex Sinaiticus (preserved in the British Library), both of which were transcribed in the fourth century.
As for the story of Jesus, there were at least 50 gospels written in the first and second century CE. Four of them (Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John) were included in the official canon during the fourth century CE and are found today in every Bible. All of the original copies of the gospels were lost. What we have now are handwritten copies, which are an unknown number of replications removed from the originals.
Rudolf Bultmann, a prominent 20th-century professor of New Testament studies writes about the life of Jesus:
We can now know almost nothing concerning the life and personality of Jesus, since the early Christian sources show no interest in either, are moreover fragmentary and often legendary; and other sources about Jesus do not exist. (Bultmann 8)

I read the Bible, the King James Version, the New Literal Translation, New King James Version, a Teen Study Bible (no I am not a teen, but it is a good tranlation when it comes to helping teens).I have a Bible program with more translations on it as well as study guides, maps and other guides as well. I attend a Church where the Word Of God is taught. Bible study is held Thursday nights,and Sunday morning, Bible study is held back to back .
Around 1500 attend this study each meeting. We can wear shorts, jeans, tee shirts plain shirts, fancy shirts. We can wear dresses, suits and ties with dressy shoes. The Pastor has no pulpit, only a chair and a stand to hold the Bible. He dresses casual as well. Many of us take notes on the books and chapters we are in.
Some people come there because they don't feel welcome where they were. Others are seeing a lack of teaching of the Word where they were attending. We pass no plates, there are boxes you can tithe in at the rear of the santuary; we even have a college there.
So I would have to say for me that yes, I am into the Bible. I love going Thursday nights as well as twice on Sunday. In the future, we hope to add a third Study on Sunday, as well as one on Saturday.
I know that the more I read the more I learn. Each reading teaches me something new. Each time you read, you see deeper and learn more about the nature of God and of man.
If you think Kids came without a manual, just read the book of Proverbs. It teaches you how to be a good husband, wife, daughter, son and more. So actually we all came with an owners manual so to speak.
Hope this answers your question; at least when it comes to me and anyone else who attends there.

I am. I read the Bible everyday, and am at church everyday that I have discussions about God with other Christians. We 'fellowship' without the building. Unless we happen to be in one.
People ought to discover the true meaning of 'church'.

Hi Cuddles,
My family and I attend services twice on Sunday and we attend a Bible Study mid-week. We read, study, and obey GOD'S WORD to the best of our ability each and every day. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks,
Eds

What really blows me away about the Bible is how you can open it up to any page what so ever from Genesis to Revelation and always find, somewhere in the text, a direct connection to Jesus on every single page.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
II Timothy 3:16
King James Version
