  1. the holy bible is the essence of jusus and one should read and digust its contents.

  3. I once heard it was acronym for

    Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. (SERIOUSLY IT WAS ON HERE !)

  4. Some people say it is an acronym for

    Believe

    In

    Bollocks,

    Love

    Evil.


  5. my collins dictionary says it comes from a word for book(s) (or library)

  6. I know you're looking for the humorous acronym (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth), but on a more serious note, it's from the latin word from which we get the English word "library".  In spanish, it is "bibleoteka" (library) (Sorry if I misspelled that spanish word.)  Just an interesting note, the word "Bible" is nowhere to be found in the Bible.  The Bible consists of 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament, and 27 in the New.  The book of Isaiah consists of 66 chapters, 39 talking about judgement and the Law, and the last 27 talking about mercy and God's grace, along with specific Messianic prophecies.  Interesting, eh?

  19. etymonline.com says "Bible" is derived from the Latin phrase "biblia sacra" meaning "holy books"

    Which is from the Greek "ta biblia to hagia" meaning  the same thing, which comes from "biblion" meaning paper/scroll, and possibly "byblos" which was the name of the Phoenician port from which Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece.
