I don't know how many of you have heard this one, but it is quite true that until May 20th of 325 (almost 300 years after Christ died), Jesus was not considered a deity.
The Roman emporer Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea that day to debate whether or not Jesus was a God. After a long debate on the subject, the council voted to call him a deity. The Roman Catholic church has since spent much time, effort, and (I'm sure) money, trying to keep the Bible from having conflicting stories. They have the conflicting stories hidden away under the Vatican. Wouldn't you LOVE to get into the vaults under the Vatican? Can you imagine all of the information down there? All of the things that the Pope doesn't want you to know.
My point, I guess, is that just because you read it in a book, yes even the Bible, does not make it the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If you look, you will discover that there are lots and lots of "truths" out there. You just need to open up your eyes, not to mention your mind a little.
And for those of you who will come back with, "But the Bible is a HOLY book," just remember: it was written and edited by men, some of whom had political or other agendas. Men are not Gods, they are humans first and foremost.
