Sorry, Wyrd, I missed this reply.
Now think about this:
1. Do you know when the Bible got numbered chapters and verses?
Cardinal Langton in the 13th century although others were working on similar schemes.
2. Do you know when the "J" words (John, Judas, Jews, Jerusalem, Joshua, Joseph, etc) were introduced in the biblical stories?
"J" was invented in English in the early 17th century. It started in France a bit earlier. It is safe to assume that once the letter was available they jesus freaks converted their fairy tales to it.
3. Do you know when Yeshua became Jesus?
In Greek it was always Iesou. Presumably this was the closest the Greeks could get to the Aramaic Y'shua. Latin it seems to have been "Iesu" as Holy Grail noted.
The same phrase appears in this translation of Gloria in Excelsis Deo:
Tu solus Altissimus, Iesu Christe.
Cum Sancto Spiritu, in gloria Dei Patris.
4. Do you know when the 14 Apocrypha books were deleted and why?
You are over-generalizing. There are so many bibles....each proclaiming the one true god, of course...and some of them contain the Apocrypha and some reject them. If you want to talk about the catholic bible they are there.
If you didn't know the answers to those basic questions what makes you think you know anything about the history of the Bible?
Again, there are so many bibles each with its own core group of fans. Why should I worry about whichever one you are championing?
