Most of the early books were probably compiled from oral sources, edited and written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah (around 650 BC), who attempted to assert control over the northern kingdom. He's also credited with "restoring God's law" over his people, when he "found" a book of the Torah in the old temple.

oh where to start, where to start. let me just put it this way: nothing is ever as simple as it looks, especially when we're discussing thousands of years of history. i will say, however, the united states of america wasn't established to escape from christianity. it was established to escape from taxes, ridiculous laws and religious harrassment by the vatican. (several of them were protestants, btw and at the time, there was a cold war going on between the values and beliefs of catholicism who followed the pope, vs.protestants, who followed the biblical writings of yeshua (once the bible was printed in english and german and people read what it said for themselves, it changed the face of europe).
A true prophet sent by G-d will never preach a message contrary to even one of the Torah's precepts. If someone claiming Divine Inspiration, the Torah demands that this so-called prophet prove himself. In light of this, Jesus and Paul did some rather heinous things in their lifetimes. They completely vilified those who opposed their theologies, a crime from which stems two thousand years of Christian anti-Semitism. They did everything that a false prophet could do to loudly scream that he was false. Chapters 13 and 18 of Deuteronomy clearly define false prophets, and Jesus and Paul are the living incarnations of that definition.

You're logic is flawed. I know my studies and the there is zero chance of there ever being a God. You know this! What do hybrids have to do with this now?

All religious text is plagiarized.
Look at all the links I offered and then tell me! Expect you believe I'm a liar! You're a person who follows blindly. Keep up the false hope!

Last time I check there were no hybrids in the Bible. What book are you reading here? I never liked any of those conspiracy nuts. Kinda like video reviewers online.
