I have learned a few things.

The Bible is made up from older stories.

Jesus is the Word, Jesus is God

John 1:1 New King James Version (NKJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Acts 7:55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.
