Answer 2

The bible has been changed many times over the years since it was put together in 325. The original version created in 325 was put together from 100's of religious texts dealing with Christianity, and even at that time they added and changed many things. For example the name Lucifer does not show up in any hebrew writings until 325BCE. Hell does not show up in any writings till well after that.

There is also many things in the modern versions that have been altered and mistranslated. Some examples, the words Pagan and witch never showed up until the 17th century King James version.

If the KJV is the absolute word of God as the previous person says, they why did he remove over a dozen books that very much had to so with Christian doctrine. Many pro-kjv people will try to say that King James only removed books that were not important to the bible, and he did not make any changes in it, but this is simply not true. Most of what he removed was very important, but he thought it limited the divinity of Jesus and the power of the bible by letting common people read those parts so he removed them. There are also several hundred changes and mistranslations in the King James version, worse than any other version that preceded it.

If it has never been modified as people claim, then why are there so many versions of it with so many differences, and missing many different books that was originally in it? Why do none of them match easler versions of them? I think Christianity has paid the price for the constant alterations, continually changing religious doctrine to fit socio-political situations at the time.

Answer 3

They have been modified, to fit your
television screen.

Whats written in Scripture concerning women wearing a covering on their heads - -
it was translated "hair", but actually that covering refers to Jesus Christ. It speaks of that in the final generation, it will be just as it was in the days of Noah; people giving and taking in marriage right up til the end; Giving in marriage to whom?
The Nephillim; the fallen angels.
When Antichrist comes they will be coming along with him, and they will once again be on the hunt for human women. Thats why a woman at that time will need Christ "above her head" It also notes that a man would be an abomination to the Lord if he were to follow suit and do as the women do with regard to this.

Answer 4

I don't think the bible ever specified "exactly" how/or what the covering was to look like. Christian women in America used to wear "hats" to church (and may still do). The interesting thing is that the bible also talks about men covering their heads which is why Jewish men wear the Yamaka? while due to our Western influence from medieval knights we take off our hats. In either case, wearing or not wearing is a sign of respect and that's the important part not the physical action.

If you *really* wish to be correct you should wear the clothes God provided for you... uncured, untailored animal hides.

Answer 5

The Bible has been modified every year since it was first put on paper and is still being modified even to-day,as it is not the complete deal ! So what price Christianity until it is !
How many versions of it are there and how many people does it take to complete one book of pure evil and lies?

Answer 6

The bible has been modified substantially. For example the earliest Greek manuscripts do not contain the story of the adulteress or the last 12 verses of mark.

The early bible was also very much shaped to eliminate the teachings or other early christianities. You just don't hear much about the Ebionites or Marcionites anymore. While many talk of early christianity, early christianities would be a much more accurate term.

Answer 7

No the Bible hasn't been modified. A lot of people would want to believe that and they would want you to believe that as well.
As for the head wear? Well it was probably the style of those days. When I was a child it was not uncommon to see women wearing Kerchiefs on their heads. They were lovely to look at and a thousand different varieties for the women. It was the fashion. Now we don't see it anymore, and when we do it is very rare.
The Ha-jib of today is a product of religious tradition, although the adherents state otherwise there is nowhere in their holy books that say they have to wear it. As with the turbans of the men. What their books tell them is that they must keep their hair clean and not to cut it. Over time they simply wrapped the turban in their hair to keep the dirt out and to keep their hair in place. Now it is a tradition called a law of their faith.
If you live by the law then you are judged by the law. Those poor people, no one, and I mean no one can keep the law in perfection.

Answer 8

I do not know and should not say anything about other religions and their Scriptures, but brother I tell you Al- Quran is stil and will be, in its original form and not a single word or space has changed since its revealation.

Muslims and Christians are from the race of Abraham(kl) and the culture was the same.

Answer 9

The only scripture Bible scholars have been modifying in the Bible is changing scripture explaining God's meaning in the Laws of Moses from a religious back into the scientific meaning God originally wrote it in. Thus transforming the Bible into a new book to lead mankind into a new era of Who we think God is.

Answer 10

I'm sorry but that simply isn't accurate.

The passage in question is 1 Corinthians 11:4-16:
"4 Any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head disgraces his head, 5 but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head�it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil. 7 For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection of God; but woman is the reflection of man. 8 Indeed, man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man. 10 For this reason a woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man or man independent of woman. 12 For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman; but all things come from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled? 14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair, it is degrading to him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 But if anyone is disposed to be contentious�we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God."

1) The "veil" is to be worn when "praying and prophesying"--which is when speaking in front of the church.
2) No one is quite sure what the word translated as "wear a veil"-Katakalupto actually means. It could be a "veil" or as you suggest something like a hijab or something like the draping used by some Roman women or it could have been a hair braiding style----no one knows.
3) Paul is very specific--there was no such custom in the church. Meaning there was no "standard" in the church that all early Christians followed "we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God."
4) Paul specifically leaves the decision up to us-"Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled?"

Finally, the interpretation of this passage has anything to do with whether Scriptures have been modified or not. 1 Corinthians is part of the Codex Vaticanus (c. 325) and doesn't seem to have changed through any of the other texts.
