  2. The Old Testament was written roughly over 2,000 years, about 4,000 years ago, the New Testament was written 2,000 years ago. To the person who said 200 A.D.: you're wrong, we have no evidence that any of the Gospels testifying to Jesus' life was written after 70 A.D., which would mean that many people who saw Jesus were still alive, and therefore could verify Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Over 500 people saw Him after He died. Including Paul, who did not believe in Jesus until He appeared. Even Paul wrote that many of the people who saw Jesus were still alive.  Jesus even appears to people today, 33% of Muslim converts to Christianity today are because Jesus appeared to the person.  

  3. http://www.codex-sinaiticus.net/en/

    Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity  

  4. according to christianity 2008 years ago. it will be 2009 now

  5. Forever ago when everyone was dumb, unlike people today!

    I'm Atheist!


  6. Well, it wasn't written all at once but pieced together over decades if not hundreds of years.

  7. Since the Christian Bible is a composite piece made of many different books (73 in the Catholic Bible, 66 in the Protestant  Bible), no one date can be assigned. Even though the Church Fathers had, for the most part, already decided which texts to use in worship and study (we use the same texts now, as Christians), the Bible was not formally canonized until 325 AD. You can find the estimated dates of each biblical book by clicking on the links provided below.

  8. The bible was written by some 40 different men over a period of 1600 years.

    First book Genesis, completed in 1513 BCE.

    Last book 1,2,3 John and gospel of John, completed 98 CE.

  9. 2,008 years ago.

  10. it was written in over 60 different times. (it has over 60 books in it so)

    but to keep it short: Before any other.

  11. Way after Jesus was gone (c.200 A.D.) by the best fictional story writer of the time.

  12. It was written down over a period of about 1500 years. The authors span many cultures and countries and languages - and yet, it is cohesive.

  13. a very, very, very, long time ago maybe about trillions of years ago, and that time it was actually right, but now...it all changed, lies, and what not whatevers in the bible now is not true....
