Read as much as I could from the thread, but couldn't keep up because it's the first time I read many of these things. I read a few comparative religion books, and I'm generally interested in the topic (The Case for God, Karen Armstrong comes to mind).

Here's what I got, Mark, Luka, Matthew, and John (desciples, AFAIK) all have books in the Bible, but they didn't ink these books themselves. Someone else did. That someone else, may or may not have met Jesus personally. Is this correct?

Then there are other books named after desciples (Thomas, and others). The there other Bibles you haven't mentioned (Barnabus, for example) that some Christian domination read. Now, to be honest, I really don't know the differences between them.

But here is what I want to ask, when I read all this, then Christian dogma says that the Bible is the literal word of God, how can we combine these two truths? What I am reading, or understanding, confirms what the Quran says about the Bible.

Put in mind, for background check and disclaimer, as a Muslim, we believe Jesus (Isa) to be a prophet and that the Injeel (New testament in Arabic) to be the literal word of Allah, that Christians have changed over time.
