Summary: A Message for Mr. Swinford
Comment: Mr. Swinford I am sorry to have to say this but you are incorrect on the number of books that are in the bible. There are actual 73 books that were canonized by the early church. After the reformation, started by a dissenter named Martin Luther, the Protestant Churches removed (yes, removed) 7 books from the canonized Old Testament and portions of Daniel and Esther, because 1000 years after the Bible was canonized the Protestant religions decided those books, and portions, were not inspired. My question is how can a religious group (that would be ALL the Protestant denominations) be able to define what is inspired and what is not inspired 1500 years later? A good book to read on the history of the Bible is 'Where We Got the Bible' by The Right Rev. Henry G. Graham. ISBN: 0895551373
PS, The seven books that were removed from the Bible are Wisdom, Sirach, Judith, Baruch, Tobit, and 1 & 2 Maccabees. Also the Old Testament Bible that is popularly used today is the same Old Testament that the Jews use now; the same Judaism that rejected Jesus and his teachings. You can find these books, in their proper order, in any Catholic Bible; but the preferred one is the Douay-Rheims Bible. You can find it at www.tanbooks.com. If you look at the original King James First Edition you will see that it contains all 73 books as well.
May you except the Graces of God, and be lead to the Holy Kingdom of Heaven.

Summary: Stilted by "Political Correctness"
Comment: The translation's a little stilted by political correctness ("Child of Humanity" instead of "Son of Man," for instance), but it's an interesting read because it's just the material, without editorializing.
