You mean, those people who wrote the Bible or any other religious text had no axe to grind, especially with the teeming, illiterate, unwashed masses that they sought to influence, for good or bad? Is that why various books of the Bible had to be discovered, rejected or accepted, over time? Is that why the Laws of Moses needed amendment- a new Law written? As for dramatc, public miracles, they all seem to happen mysteriously 2000+ years ago. Is it a coincidence that they all happened at a time when the masses feared raising uncomfortable questions? All pointing to divine perfection, I bet.

Some think/interpret that the laws of Moses were “amended”, but if you do some research, you will find that there is no historical proof that it is so. Of course, if that’s what you want to believe, you will discount the naysayers and only give credence to those that believe as you do. I will admit that I give more credence to those that question the “amendment” theory.
