The letters we included can be verified by having several copies that all read the same, and by age. They all must be of a certain age..
Age is your criteria? Not content?
Does not jive sounds to me like a group of men fixing a story to meet their invented religion
Judas' letter is not the only one. That is however, the one you point to when asked.
[/quote]You haven't actually read the bible have you? or maybe your confusing it with the koran.. And somehow that doesn't bother you, enough to make an uninformed observation like the one you just made.
Don't tell me I have not read the bible. I have read it several time and studied it as a christian for almost 50 years. I have never even picked up a koran (sp?) and make no claims I even know one bit about the muslim faith. So, NO I am not confusing the two
The bible and the principles it teaches, While common place today, was very counter culture then. Everything the bible teaches was backwards from what the jew and those who served other gods did in worship/life. Many of you will point at the huge gap between how the new and Old testaments differ, Imagine how much more difference there was then.. Someone teach a new message like that, well they might even nail Him to a cross, and even some of his followers to a cross to try and stop this message.
Not talking about jesus and his followers, I am talking about the men who compiled the story book
so is your reasoning, based on popular atheist arguements rather than the actual source material.
How is my reasoning flawed? Humans compiled letters that can not be verified or even attributed to authors to fit a religion that they claimed happened over 300 years ago. I am only stating facts, are they not true?

Quote: Why not include all of them?When would judas have time to write a letter? why wasn't it found till the 16th century?
