Criticism of the Bible
Main articles: Biblical criticism and Criticism of the Bible
Theologians and clerics, most notably Abraham Ibn Ezra, have long noticed apparent contradictions within the Biblical text. Benedict Spinoza concluded from a study of such contradictions that the Torah could not have had a single author, and thus, neither God nor Moses could be the authors of the Torah. By the 19th century, critical scholars, such as Hermann Gunkel and Julius Wellhausen argued that the various books of the Bible were written not by the presumed authors but by a heterogeneous set of authors over a long period. Although Biblical archeology has confirmed the existence of some of the people, places, and events mentioned in the Bible, many critical scholars have argued that the Bible be read not as an accurate historical document, but rather as a work of literature and theology that often draws on historical events and often draws on non-Hebrew mythology as primary source material. For these critics the Bible reveals much about the lives and times of its authors. Whether the ideas of these authors have any relevance to contemporary society is left to clerics and adherents of contemporary religions to decide.

The Christian Bible
A Bible handwritten in Latin, on display in Malmesbury Abbey, Wiltshire, England. This Bible was transcribed in Belgium in 1407 for reading aloud in a monastery.
The Bible as used by the majority of Christians includes the Hebrew Scripture and the Deuterocanonical books (various writings important in the Second-Temple period of Judaism); and the New Testament, which relates the life and teachings of Jesus, the letters of the Apostle Paul and other disciples to the early church and the Book of Revelation. The Deuterocanonical books are not used by most Protestants.
Theology
While individual books within the Christian Bible present narratives set in certain historical periods, most Christian denominations teach that the Bible itself has an overarching message.
There are among Christians wide differences of opinion as to how particular incidents as described in the Bible are to be interpreted and as to what meaning should be attached to various prophecies. However, Christians in general are in agreement as to the Bible's basic message. A general outline, as described by C.S. Lewis, is as follows:[2]
At some point in the past, mankind learned to depart from God's will and began to sin.
Because no one is free from sin, humanity cannot deal with God directly, so God revealed Himself in ways people could understand.
God called Abraham and his progeny to be the means for saving all of mankind.
To this end, He gave the Law to Moses.
The resulting nation of Israel went through cycles of sin and repentance, yet the prophets show an increasing understanding of the Law as a moral, not just a ceremonial, force.
Jesus brought a perfect understanding of the Mosaic Law, that of love and salvation.
By His death and resurrection, all who believe are saved and reconciled
Many people who identify themselves as Christians, Muslims, or Jews regard the Bible as inspired by God yet written by a variety of imperfect men over thousands of years. Belief in sacred texts is attested to in Jewish antiquity,[3] and this belief can also be seen in the earliest of Christian writings. Various texts of the Bible mention Divine agency in relation to prophetic writings,[4] the most explicit being: 2 Timothy 3:16: "All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice." However, the Bible neither gives a list of which texts are inspired and their exact contents, nor a precise theological definition of what inspiration entails. In their book A General Introduction to the Bible, Norman Geisler and William Nix wrote: "The process of inspiration is a mystery of the providence of God, but the result of this process is a verbal, plenary, inerrant, and authoritative record."[5] Some Biblical scholars,[6][7][8] particularly Evangelicals, associate inspiration with only the original text; for example the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy which asserted that inspiration applied only to the autographic text of Scripture.[9]

Sinner's Bible
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sinner's Bible or Wicked Bible is the nickname given to a printing of the King James Version of the Holy Bible in 1632. Although it was intended to be a reprint of the 1611 King James Bible, the nickname was earned after the words "not" were omitted from some of the ten commandments - for example "thou shalt [not] kill". The printing resulted in the publisher's being bankrupted by fines, imprisoned and whipped at the tail of the cart [1].
The King James Version was translated by 47 scholars (although 54 were originally contracted) working in six committees, two based in each of Oxford University, Cambridge University, and Westminster. They worked on certain parts separately; then the drafts produced by each committee were compared and revised for harmony with each other. The scholars were not paid for their translation work, but were required to support themselves as best they could. Many were supported by the various colleges at Oxford and Cambridge.
So you guys are saying that there's not just the slightest bit somone might have gotten something wrong some 1600 year after his death? There were 47 authors. They weren't there when Jesus was there. How don't we know things weren't mistraslated. It sounds like some guys wanted to write their own bible the way "they" believe it happend.
I'm just layperson here. I grew up with the New Testament. Who know how may guys wrote that?
