oh wait, some folks did try that.
Hmmm...you mean like Josiah's priests "discovering" Deuteronomy while remodeling Solomon's temple?

What a self-serving scam that was! Followed by the horror of Josiah's "cleansing." 2 Kings 22:8-2Kings 23.

But I think dado might have been referring to the Diatessaron of Tatian?

gahhh!

can someone split this thread from the whacked out stuff River is talking about from the other stuff?

I do like much of the on topic ideas, I think they explain much of the reasons for the contradictions in the bible.

Thanks guys!

I split the thread - if I didn't carve it up the right way, you can PM me.
