I have asked several Christians how we know The Bible is a reliable source and they said "because God wouldn't let anything go in it that wasn't his word. Doesn't this contradict the whole free will deal? The Bible was written by humans hearing the word of God, but they are not reliable interpreters for the very reason that they have free will. As Salman Rushdie points out in The Satanic Verses, a man could easily mistake a word here or there, or worse, could deliberately change it to test God. So, how can we trust The Bible and believe in free will?

Just reading the book of Job at the moment and a number of questions are swimming around in my mind... 1. As Job is the oldest book in the bible (what I was told) whereabouts does it fit in with the biblical timeline? It talks about Job giving a burnt offering (1v5) so I would assume after Moses because didn’t the whole sacrificing animal come after the exodus? 2. If it is the oldest book, why is it where it is in the bible? Shouldn't it be near the start of the bible? 3. If God allowed Satan to torment Job (1v12), does God allow Satan or his forces to torment us? Or do we bring that upon ourselves, through our sin? Will probably add more questions to this as I delve further into the book! Thanks Phil!

I understand there are a few books that are called "The Lost Books of the Bible" that are not included because they either do not make sense or were not God inspired, but is there anything that can help with the understanding of the bible and why does the Roman Catholic Church include some of the books to the canon of scripture known as the apocrypha, and by doing so, does it effect what God said, that nothing can be added or taken away?
