GIVE ME MY DAILY BREAD

[Blindgreed1]

MS, since you have found your spirituality lately maybe you can help me with a few things that have always bothered me about the bible? First of all, where did the bible come from? As I understand it most of it was written 100 - 160 years after the Crucifixion. Exactly how did this all come together then? Was it word of mouth or oral tradition up until Tacitus and then later the authors of the actual bible? We also know that the Roman Catholics worked very hard for centuries to alter or destroy any texts which could undermine their authority so how can we trust this written word?
