But how can we be sure, that there are not parts in the bible, which have totally different meaning too, by a mistake in wording? I think that the original scriptures are long lost(?) and this we never can know how it really was meant to be. One wrong word in one wrong sentence could lead for total misconception, and make people understand the whole "event" in totally different view, thus maybe even leading to new actions - in a wrong way? Maybe that is an exaggeration, but still, makes you wonder.[/quote:205ec]

God makes sure His word is perserved. The books of Moses were written 500 years before the earliest Hindu Scriptures. Moses wrote Genesis 2,000 years before Muhammad penned the Koran. During that long history, no other book has been as loved or as hated as the Bible. No other book has been so consistently bought, studied, and quoted as this book. While millions of other titles come and go, the Bible is still the book by which all other books are measured. While often ignored by those who are uncomfortable with its teachings, it is still the central book of Western civilization.[/quote:205ec]

Still, in the earliest days you did not have thousands of active researches, thousands to study the word and help in the translation. So basicly we're living "under" one man's translation, although educated man, but still a man. Or does this again fall to the scenario "God makes sure His word is preserved" ?

Anyway or another from thing to another.

What is the mystery behind number 144,000 that seems to be awefully small number, while thinking the population.

And what is with the "Book of life" which contains the name of every soul that is going to be saved.

Is the Book of life constantly evolving, or are most of us born condamned?

How can one that loves us so much that is even inhuman to understand, send most of us in eternal pain and suffering, with no possibility to ever be freed from the flames?

Quite nice trick to create us, give us our own free will and thinking brains, then tell us lore of the bible. If we decide to belive it we survive (How can this be, I am sure there are more than 144,000 belivers) and if we do not belive, then its one ticket down to the eternal sauna.
