In the early days, there were various disparate ideas that were later determined to be invalid, thus the canonization. The Gnostic texts were among the most popular of the heretical texts.

You realize that not every book in the Bible is the same, right? As in the Psalms are songs. It's like asking for the eyewitness to "Amazing Grace."
We can get into interesting discussions on some of the books, (like Jonah) but Psalms is a song book. (Alphabetically organized by the way by the Hebrew Alphabet by first lines.)
Exactly, that's what bugs me about it. How can I prove eyewitness testimony to Psalms?

Just to further the point.. that is like asking for an eye witness to "Do re Mi". The Psalms are not records of events, so having a witness is not really applicable. They are useful, but not as history. Even Genesis, which is a record, is not a direct witness account. Rather, it is an account passed down through generations.

Only eyewitness testimony is applicable in a court of law... even though eyewitnesses have been proven to lie and incorrectly remember all events.

When God took a breaking from writing the bible, did he masturbate using his left or right hand? This is important to me.
God does not need to masturbate. He will just go around screwing any women he wants. Look what he did to Mary! Plus he got the the broad pregnant and decided to bail out on her.

I'll need more info before I can give you the correct answer. I need to know how it is you know that God wrote the Bible, or at least why you think it is that God wrote the bible, regardless of which hand God writes with.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns us to not swear lightly and only by his name. Modern "worship" music seems to take God's name lightly. Is this the same kind of offense warned about in Matthew 5:33-37?
