  1. No.  And this is not really a question and this is the wrong section of Y!A.


  2. No. It means "book".

    From the web: According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word bible is from Latin biblia, traced from the same word through Medieval Latin and Late Latin, as used in the phrase biblia sacra ("holy book" - "In the Latin of the Middle Ages, the neuter plural for Biblia (gen. bibliorum) gradually came to be regarded as a feminine singular noun (biblia, gen. bibliae, in which singular form the word has passed into the languages of the Western world."). This stemmed from the Greek term τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια (ta biblia ta hagia), "the holy books", which derived from βιβλίον (biblion), "paper" or "scroll," the ordinary word for "book", which was originally a diminutive of βύβλος (byblos, "Egyptian papyrus"), possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician port Byblos from which Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece

  3. No, it comes from an old word that means "book", and this is absolutely not the category for you to spew your religious nonsense. It will not be well received by most.

  4. 1. It's an example of acronym. 2. Bible actually means 'book' in Latin. 3. This is in the wrong section.

  5. It doesn't stand for anything. The word "bible" derives from the Latin "biblia" and the Greek "biblos," both of which mean, roughly, "book."

  6. That's an excellent acronym, but 'bible' just means 'book'. I wish more people would read it! Book of John!

    Wrong forum for religious nonsense.

  8. No, it doesn't stand for anything.  I guess you could make up acronyms all day, but they don't mean anything.  And neither does the bible - if I were you, I'd stop wasting your time thinking about the end of the world and maybe start making the most of your life.  There's no guarantee you're getting another one - don't waste it.
