to you what is divine canon?do you consider all books in the old and new testament of the bible divine works inspired by god and christ?do you consider old testament apocrypha to be canonical?how about new testament apocrapha?

this website has all kinds of religious stuff:this here is the new testament apocrapha
http://www.comparative-religion.com/...ity/apocrypha/

how about mysticism,and gnosticsm?

why come alot of books contradict and people get different interpretations?

do you think the missing books of the bible will ever surface again and the ones with just bits the full ones will be found?

some of these books on this site say different things like almost all the people say they were jesus favorite(the apostles and his followers)do you think he had such a thing?

in the bible i was raised with it says judas hanged himself but their is a gospel of judas which says differently.

then the gospel of mary says she is the holy spirit(also spirit is a feminine word)who is the holy spirit is it jesus,god,how would one sin against it?

do you believe it was adam and eve or adam and two other women before eve one who woudlnt submit to adam and one who adam was scared of cos he saw her made.what do you think happened to them?or do you think they never existed and thats false prophecy.i know its not in genesis but its in something i was reading lately either on wikipedia or on the site with all the bits and pieces of the bible.

also the way churchs conduct their services are very different.

the koran also mentions alot of the same people and about adam being made from dust.

do you believe the god in the old testament is the same as in the new one?
do you think there is more then one god when god says hes a jealous god and shall have no other gods before me or do you think he means things such as money and power and material goods?
do you think there are more then one way to heaven?

do you believe in one heaven?ive heard 5 heavens i think?i think also once 7?then read the other day 72 heavens?isnt 72 also the number of virgins supposedly that those suicide bombers say they get for dying for god.

what is the devils number ive heard 666,665 and 616?

ok, that's alot of questions.
and i don't think it's so important what you believe, but that you do believe.

and i also think religion has the power to be the most unifying force on earth, but also the most divisive, and that of late, it's be used primarly for the latter. and many of the languages that origional religious texts were written in, have been lost or barely put back together. and with translation, after translation, after translation along with historical methods and ethics changing at the same time, it's only sensible that there are this many variations.

also some of those writings they have as apocrypha they mention names used in mythology as well so perhaps they were real people and mentions hell as hades.

one of them says the cross was moving with jesus on it.
one says jesus didnt die on it that it was just an illusion his spirit left his body.

what about with the fall of the angels and how they taught men to fight war?and what about the angels sleeping with people and creating giants(no giant bones have ever been found)and the giants killing and harming the people and being really evil and having great appetities and they were one of the main reasons for the great flood of the earth.

one says jesus came back to earth for so many yrs to help his followers start christiianity.

even jesus birth some say she had sex with joseph and when jesus was baptized god adopted his as his son others say she was immaculate therefore the immaculate conception.i read also that the angel of gabriel went on her and put himself inside her to be born.

sorry for all the questions.i am on a quest.i want the truth.i dont know if wikipedia is the greatest source to go to and then this other site which i posted above.

here is the old testament apocrypha for those interested
