Some common hypotheses are that: Mary Magdalene was one of the apostles of Jesus, but this fact was suppressed by the early Church (in fact the accepted belief in most Churches is that she was the "only" disciple). Jesus had an intimate relationship with Mary Magdalene. Jesus had an intimate relationship with Mary Magdalene which may or may not have resulted in marriage, and/or children; their continued bloodline is then said to be Christianity's deepest secret.

According to the Latter-day Saints (LDS; see Mormonism), the Bible was incorrectly translated in several places, some of which differ from The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ and other new or newly-discovered revelations. Because of this belief, Joseph Smith re-translated some portions of the Bible, which are known as the Joseph Smith Translation (JST). Joseph Smith did not use ancient manuscripts to support these revisions, but rather translated by "revelation" or "inspiration." The Latter-day Saints currently use and publish an edi ...

The Lebanese scholar Kamal Salibi has written several books advocating the "Israel in Yemen" theory. In this view, the placenames of the Bible actually allude to places in Arabia, and were later reinterpreted to refer to places in Palestine when the Jews moved to Palestine after the Babylonian Exile; and the ancient Jews actually came from Yemen, on the Arabian peninsula. As far as this hypothesis goes, claims of this nature do not constitute a true Bible conspiracy theory. Such hypotheses would become a conspiracy theory if they addi ...

It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book" (Gospel means " ...

Protestants cite the Old Testament canon defined by the Council of Jamnia in AD 90 as their basis for not including the Deuterocanonical books, where Roman Catholics assert that Jewish council was convened in reaction to the ri ...

; see Tanakh for the Jewish textual tradition. The Hebrew Masoretic text contains verse endings as an important feature. According to the Talmudic tradition, the verse endings are of ancient origin. The Masoretic textual tradition also contains section endings called parashiyot, which are indicated by a space within a line (a "closed" section") or a new line beginning (an "open" section). The division of the text reflected in the parashiyot ...
