  2. no


  3. *IF* you are speaking of the Christian bible...

    Then it depends on your definition of bible.

    a) A "complete" collection of scriptures, including all of those that are now approved, under one cover and translated into one language.

    This definition is satisfied by the 4th century Greek codices, including two existing examples, Codex Vaticanus and the slightly later Codex Sinaiticus.  Note, however, that these included scriptures normally not approved by any Christian sect in addition to the scriptures normally approved.  There would be many "authors" (translators is better) as the Old Testament was the Greek Septuagint, a translation that was the result of several translators.  The New Testament would be simple copies of the Greek manuscripts, and so the authorship of those books would be that of the original authors in most, if not all cases.

    b) A "complete" collection of **approved** scriptures under one cover and translated into one language.

    This definition was probably first satisfied by the 5th century Latin Vulgate, whose **primary** (but *not* sole) translator was Jerome.  He translated from the original languages - but not all of the books included - and this is verified by the fact that the Vulgate in many instances agrees more closely with the Dead Sea Scrolls than does the Masoretic Text.

  4. um i think Saint Jerome gave us the Vulgate, the Bible in Latin, then people started to read it.

    the Catholic Church carefully put it together though, and by the Holy Spirit determined what books were to be in it.

  5. God 'wrote' the Bible! Probably the first authentic interpretation came from Moses!

  6. You accept that there are several Bibles. Which one is authentic no body knows. Bible is a compilation of scriptures by several people and the chapters are named after them. The original old testament in hebroo may be original. All later versions are man-made. Those who wrote Bible also made Jesus as God.

  7. Bible Origin - Divine Inspiration

    When examining Bible origin, many of today's liberal scholars look everywhere but the Bible. However, the Bible tells us that the origin of the Bible is God Himself. In 2 Timothy 3:16, we read that all scripture is inspired by God. The Greek word used for inspiration is theopneustos, which means "God-breathed." In 2 Peter 1:21, we understand that each writer was "carried along" by God. Therefore, God used each of the Bible's 40 authors, including their diverse cultural backgrounds, personalities and positions, to deliver His divine Word to all mankind.

    Bible Origin - The Word of God

    It seems that the question of Bible origin turns on the truth of its divine inspiration. In Luke 24:27,44; John 5:39; and Hebrews 10:7, Jesus says that what was written about him in the Old Testament would come to pass. Romans 3:2 and Hebrews 5:12 refer to the Old Testament as the Word of God. We read in 1 Corinthians 2:13, "This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit." This is confirmed in 2 Timothy 3:16. In 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul when referring to that which he had written says, "...you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the Word of God..." Peter speaks of the inspiration of Paul's writings in 2 Peter 3:15-16, where he maintains that, "...Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters..." Earlier, in 2 Peter 1:21 Peter writes, "For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along [moved] by the Holy Spirit." And then finally in Revelation 22:18,19 the writer John, referring to the book of Revelation states, "...if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life..."

    "The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was not written by good men, because good men would not tell lies by saying 'Thus saith the Lord;' it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin, and themselves to h**l; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration" (Charles Wesley, McDowell, Evidence That Demands a Verdict, 1990:178).

    Bible Origin - Authenticity of New Testament Scripture

    A primary attack against divine Bible origin is that the books of the New Testament were agreed upon (canonized) by men hundreds of years after the books were written. Actually, the fathers of the early Christian church reveal that most of the New Testament books were accepted as scripture almost immediately. For instance, in 2 Peter 3:16, the writer takes for granted that Paul's letters were already considered inspired scripture on the same level as the Old Testament. In 1Timothy 5:18, Paul joins an Old Testament reference and a New Testament reference and calls them both Scripture. The need for official canonization of the New Testament scriptures only came about because of certain heresies that were being spread throughout the church starting in the mid to late second century. For instance, Marcion created his own religion by only teaching from ten of Paul's letters and certain portions of Luke. In addition, the Gnostics, especially in Alexandria, were introducing new "secrets" to the standard Christian doctrine, including new gospel accounts altogether.

    For the church leaders in the mid second century, the four Gospels were baseline authority in their teachings. In about 170 AD, Irenaeus cited 23 of the 27 New Testament books, omitting only Philemon, James, 2 Peter and 3 John. The Muratorian fragment, written about the same time, attests to the widespread use of all the New Testament books except Hebrews, James, 1 Peter and 2 Peter. However, other church fathers had already cited those omitted books in various writings defending against Gnostic doctrines. The Codex Barococcio from 206 AD includes 64 of the 66 books of today's Bible. Esther and Revelation were omitted, but they had already been declared as inspired scripture by Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Clement, Tertullian and the Muratorian Canon. In 230 AD, Origen declared that all Christians acknowledged as scripture the four Gospels, Acts, the epistles of Paul, 1 Peter, 1 John and Revelation.

    By the early 300's, all of the New Testament books were being used in the mainstream church body. In 367 AD, Athanasius formally circulated the Easter Letter that listed all 27 books as canonical. The Synod of Hippo (393 AD) and the third Synod of Carthage (397 AD) also recognized these 27 books as canonical. In addition, during this time, the highly influential church fathers, Jerome (340-420 AD) and Augustine (354-430 AD) published their lists of 27 books completing the New Testament.

  8. When you read or hear about it, sit back and think of the times... the era of grunts who made marks with charcoal on goat skins, or bark or chipped in stone...with a shrunken language base and this book was written not in one sitting by one individual, but gathered up from many individuals who were "inspired by God" -that means the documents had to be found from the truly inspired one by walking many miles of road and no road and in the multitudes of people.     How likely is that?  You would have a better chance of winning the lottery 5 times in a row.IMHO

  9. King James. The oldest found! Go too history.com or something!  

  10. If you are talking about the Hebrew Bible AKA Old Testament, It was written in Classic Hebrew. I guess.

    Many people wrote the Hebrew Bible. Mostly by Moses. Hope that helped.
