The more you read, begets more questions, Sami. Problem with most, is they have not read enough to be asking, or answering, some of these questions...The question shows one thing, then the answers show something quite similar IMHO...
That is, the whole pie is not of the same material, over a long time it has the same problems, the Bible has.
Many different writers, and story tellers you have to run down to get the answer. They, will not answer, can't really. If they do who are you to believe if answers are not same???
Time...
The ones that have different time frame, and different ideas...Time is the factor, always has been IMHO...
Example "The Journey" why are some in it, and some arn't? Simple question! 10+ years, after death of leader...
Why were some chosen and others not? Was there a pay day at the end, or was there something all had to do to get into it???
Not that it is a biggie. Probably not a huge mystery... Does only one man have that answer? Or many?
You wanted to pretend...This is not pretend, it is about time...
