The Roman's controlled the content of the Bible. They still do. If a Baptist changes the Bible he is scorned. If the pope makes a revision it sticks. Whether you like it or not.
The linage of Jesus in Matthew is rigged to incourage Jews to accept Jesus as their messah.
Revelation 1:14 clearly describes Jesus as an albino. Don't bother sending me your Sunday school learning.
The Caesar's were in the process of converting the Jews to the Cult of Octavian. Alpha-Omega Augustus-Octavian. Another way of saying "god".

Don, when has the pope made a revision to holy scripture? I didn't see your documentation/evidence listed. The pope is not authorized to change the word of God, nor has he ever done this. However, I am anxious to see your source.

You are part right in some of your facts, Romans were out to get the Jews, but lest not forget the Christians of the day where not considered Christians but Jews that followed a new teaching so they too were persecuted, not only by the Jews of the day but by the same Caesars you mentioned.
Secondly, it does not describe Christ as albino, in any part of the Bible, you are incorrect in your biblical interpretation if that is at all what you were trying to do.
And lastly, there have not nor will there not ever any changes made to the Bible by the popes or the current pope. The Bible is what it is, a translation of the words found in the oldest texts.
Seek the truth.

It is impossible to check the validity of the New Testament. There is NO final approved content of the New Testament that was not approved, in one way or another, by the official government authorities of the Roman Empire. In effect, the New Testament, as we know it today, is so contaminated by government driven policies of the Roman Empire and the Constantine administration as to be a worthless spiritual document.
As for 'tricking the Jews'. It has been the primary purpose of Christians to convert the Jews by any means possible. As long as the Jews remain the Jews, Christianity is constantly in doubt as to the validity and authenticity of its own religion. The Jews are a continuing warning to Christianity that it is a corrupt spiritual system. To the end of converting the Jews, Christianity will murder, torture, lie and do any and all immoral and inhuman action to achieve its purpose.

The Catholic church did try and control what we knew about the Bible, but then came the Reformation with Martin Luther.
Jesus is not albino (He did no have pink eyes - they were as flames of fire). John was trying to describe Jesus in a more glorious state (some thing along the lines of when Jesus was on the mount of transfiguration).

Didn't we already go over this? Having white hair does not make you an albino; having feet 'like molten bronze' certainly doesn't. And if you don't trust what the Bible says, why are using it as a source?
And just so you know, the Pope doesn't change the Bible Protestants use.

Well, you're correct... the romans were in charge and it was the politics of the time that essentially wrote the New testament. The letters of the "apostles" that were turned into the new testament were written for the eyes of whoever could keep those 4 from getting into trouble. They were totally biased and so is the nt.
