Ref. Post #297 ~
You're forgetting your European history. The English (for you, the people who lived in England) were more literate that the other country bumpkins on the mainland. They had a rich history of story-telling and could spin some fantastic tales. They wrote them down and other people read them.
I don't give a rat's ass about the scraps of religious manuscripts crazy old fanatics kept hidden in damp monasteries or in the Vatican. Those were not Bibles. The people living in England wrote the Bible and not some clown in Italy or Asia. And once the English (people living in England) sent it to the Pope everyone else fell in line with the basic tales. When one Pope decided to write his own version he messed it up with a couple of thousand of assorted errors. Now how did anyone know about those errors? They compared the Pope's tale with the English version.
And while the English were writing their fairy tale they gave all of the main characters non-traditional Jewish names. The didn't have any problem giving the minor characters Jewish names but all of the main characters were given European names.
An Englishman, Robert von Ranke Graves, wrote the book "I, Claudius" which you may have seen on tv. It was fiction but seemed plausible history. William Shakespeare wrote "Julius Caesar" and you know how many movies have been made based upon that. Julius gets credit for writing one book but everything else about him was written by people who never saw him. Now why any sane person would think that a single book written by Julius who croaked in 44 BC would survive intact to modern times is beyond me given all that happened in ancient Rome but maybe it did. People swear that the Shroud of Turin is real. Anyway, suppose Julius' book did survive. Does that mean that everything the other writers wrote about him is true?
