I admit I haven't read her work, and this is coming primarily from what others have said about her work, but didn't Elaine Pagels already write about this sort of things?
I don't understand really why all of the sensation though. This information isn't coming out for the first time.
it is not written by the absolute hand of Pristine Divinity, but only inspired
Millions follow Hinduism , Buddhism , many of the same questions and doubts which
the media and society voice about Christianity and the Bible could be applicable to them too and so on
But it seems that they get a free pass.
No inquiry , not questioning ?
Why
I wish you could show us which parts were divinely inspired and not just mans doing.
All religious involvement entails (or should entail) questioning. There's nothing that goes in in Xy that doesn't happen with other religions, too.While usually Christianity and the Bible are question? and their critics and doubters giving voice in public opinion worldwide
The rest of the world religions are not subject to similar scrutiny.
Billions of people follow Islam, many of the questions , doubts about Christianity , Bible etc could be applicable to Islam too

That is just it, you don't know and you don't get any proof of divine intervention, but I can say that if only inspired by man, they did a good job at helping alot of people (unfortunately this also leads to people getting hurt as well).I wish you could show us which parts were divinely inspired and not just mans doing.

It comes from your doing. You planted the seeds. You took care of the garden. The seeds did what they were meant to do. There is nothing divine about that.I plant a garden and tend it through the season. The seeds germinate and sprout, eventually growing and bearing fruit. The fruit feeds my family through the entire season.
Now, is the any (or all of that) my doing or does it come from something divine?
Unless there's something Divine in seeds doing what they're supposed to do...It comes from your doing. You planted the seeds. You took care of the garden. The seeds did what they were meant to do. There is nothing divine about that.

Not necessarily. God is revealed through the natural order.That's a bit of a stretch me thinks...
