Have we had the whole of the bible yet?

Question

All those answerer's that copy and paste sections of the bible into religious questions regardless of whether its relevant or not.

I am wondering whether they have actually managed to get the whole of the bible on to Y/A yet. What do you reckon, the bible is long but not that long, some of those answers have been prodigious.

Answer 1

No, but I have had more fundies thumb me down than any other Christian on here than I can think of.  I even read this passage. . .

"Where so ever doublequinella goeth in thy evening on thou yahoo answers, the fundies shall sticketh it to thee"

Answer 2

good question!  id say were about halfway.

but in terms of contextual accuracy, were still at square one.

Answer 3

I doubt it very much. For example, I'm fairly sure we haven't had the bits of Leviticus which talk about how if a man has a wet dream, or a woman has her period, they have to stay outside the camp for a few days until they have ritually purified themselves.

Answer 4

Noooooo... not at all! The Bible must be edited,  to ensure that it's 'up-to-date', still 'fits in' with the latest scientific discoveries that disprove or undermine its foundation, values or would lose a few customers by being non-PC, and to ensure that Mary , Jo, and yo baby Jesus, are wearing this seasons 'colours'!

So, no matter how many faithful, copy and paste, there are a whole industry of fashionista's, Brother's and Sister's, fastidiously entering new paragraph's, 'expanding on the meaning', and misdirecting using the new 'spin', to out-doctor the indoctrinated.

Ohhh, and I heard 'Hebrew Blue' IS the new blue....  but what can you do? It's gone to print, reprint and imprinted already!

Answer 5

It tends to be the same bits that get posted (or pasted) over and over again, so I think we won't ever get all of it here

Answer 6

Why don't you go through and piece them all together. Let us know what you come up with.

Answer 7

I'm waiting for the day "Jesus" answers a question. After all it is his autobiography............

Answer 8

The Word of God is always relevant.....His Word will not return void.

Answer 9

It only shows that many people use the Bible as their main religious authority.

Answer 10

2 Ti 3:16,17

All scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching fr reproving for setting things straight for disciplining in righteousness that the man of god may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work

Answer 11

I think it has.

Answer 12

I doubt it! It's such a big book, and there's so many quotations that can be taken out of it, but generally, they tend to be the same ones...

Answer 13

When ancient scribes copied earlier books, they wrote notes on the margins of the page (marginal glosses) to correct their text—especially if a scribe accidentally omitted a word or line—and to comment about the text. When later scribes were copying the copy, they were sometimes uncertain if a note was intended to be included as part of the text. See textual criticism. Over time, different regions evolved different versions, each with its own assemblage of omissions and additions.

The autographs, the Greek manuscripts written by the original authors, have not survived. Scholars surmise the original Greek text from the versions that do survive. The three main textual traditions of the Greek New Testament are sometimes called the Alexandrian text-type (generally minimalist), the Byzantine text-type (generally maximalist), and the Western text-type (occasionally wild). Together they comprise most of the ancient manuscripts.

There are also several ancient translations, most important of which are in the Syriac dialect of Aramaic (including the Peshitta and the Diatessaron gospel harmony), in the Ethiopian language of Ge'ez, and in Latin (both the Vetus Latina and the Vulgate).

In 331, the Emperor Constantine commissioned Eusebius to deliver fifty Bibles for the Church of Constantinople. Athanasius (Apol. Const. 4) recorded Alexandrian scribes around 340 preparing Bibles for Constans. Little else is known, though there is plenty of speculation. For example, it is speculated that this may have provided motivation for canon lists, and that Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Alexandrinus are examples of these Bibles. Together with the Peshitta, these are the earliest extant Christian Bibles.
