you don't want an answer, you want to be validated.
the books of the bible are written over thousands of years. They were divinely inspired as is proven by their very existance, coherancy and relevence in relation to each other. That in and of itself is the very reason why the bible is the best selling book of all time.
Go figure.
:D

You may have been misled by somebody (probably a "member of the Church") into believing that the bible is something it most definitely is not! In 367 AD, Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria under Constantine the Great, set forth what proved to be the final canon of New Testament books in a letter listing 27 works. In 382 AD, at a synod held at Rome under Pope Damasus, church leaders influenced by Jerome adopted this list. The reason the books of the "Catholic bible" seem 'consistent' is because they were edited to be that way by the Church!
Don't even get me started on the nonsense Protestants got up to!

The Catholic Bible isn't that different from most Protestant Bibles, so I don't know what you're getting at. Most of the books, however, are NOT continuous with each other (in all Bibles). The books name a different 12 disciples, for instance - or tell different stories about who first met Jesus after he rose from the dead.

Because since the beginning of the Catholic religion, all "facts" come from the same bible that has essentially been used since the 1500's. Same bible, same facts, same old dreary story.

I have never read none of catholic books but it would be nice to examine what is said.

Ding Ding Ding, I think you're onto something. Jesuit bull-oney. I don't think it's first name is O-S-C-A-R though.

They knew the story of Horus which was much older and wrote about that.

It's called "oral tradition". The same thing happens today with rumors and urban legends.

For the most part, they were reporting what they had been told. They were writing down what had been oral tradition.
