Answer 2

Bill Frist??

Oh, you meant the FIRST bible... Acxtually, gospels were in use at the time of Jesus' life and death. After he died, many other gospels were written, mostly by people OTHER THAN whom the gospel was attributed to (such as the Gnotics wrting the Gospel of Judas, etc.)
Approximately 300+ years after Jesus' death, Iraneus (a priest and considered the Father of modern Christianity) decided (or was commissioned by the Council of Nicea) to make the Bible. He chose four gospels only - because there were four cardinal points and four elements on earth - Earth, Air, Fire and Water. This was the reasoning behind only four gospels. He took the four that fit HIS vision of what should be taught and practiced, and had the others burned/condemmed. Up until the Council of Nicea, Jesus was considered to be a mortal man, a prophet. It was at this Council that they VOTED that Jesus should be the Son of God and should be made concieved thru immaculate conception and resurrection. Prior to that point, he was not considered to have done so...

Yet, there are millions of people today who believe this lie! Amazing! Constantine did not "invent" the first Bible. Constantine was a pagan who converted to Christianity on his deathbed. However, he did commission the Council of Nicea - for political reasons. He saw that the majority of his people practiced Christianity, and made these decisions based upon pleasing his base population.

Answer 3

You mean first?

Roman Emperor Constantine invented the first bible in 325 CE (ad). No one knows who wrote the various books or when they were written. What is known is that books that are included in the bible were not written by the people who the bible claims wrote them.

Moses wrote nothing. There is serious and credible doubt as to whether he even existed.


And, it is a historical fact that Roman Emperor Constantine's Nicene Council invented the bible and the idea that Jesus is God, or the "Trinity." That idea is disputed to this day. And passages that claim "Jesus is God" have been forged by unknown persons, presumably men "inspired" by some spirit that encourages people to lie.

Answer 4

Moses wrote the first few books of the bible. But many others helped by being inspired to write other parts of it including some prophets like Daniel and Jeremiah, and some of Jesus' apostles.

Answer 5

The various books of the Old Testament were compiled over time into the Hebrew Bible often referred to as the TaNaK. The authorship of none of the books is certain, but there are clear records of a complete canon by around the time Christ. In fact many New Testament writers quote from the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Septuagint. The earliest books of the New Testamnet are probably the letters to the churches. Some of these are attributed to Paul, and others baer the names of other early church leaders, though we have no original manuscripts to prove actual authorship. The gospels probably come a little later. As the people who were actually around when Jesus walked the earth start to die of old age, etc. They and their close followers begin to compile Jesus' teachings and the stories about Jesus' life. Most scholars view Mark as the earliest gospel, and suggest that Luke and Matthew independant of one another used Mark as an outline for their gospels.
Most of what we know about the early books of the Bible is that the one's eventually canonized (put into one book) were the ones that were genreally accepted by most believers as acurrate and useful for Church instruction. No, The DaVinci Code isn't a legitimate source for your Biblical history. You should check out some actual textual critics and church historians who know what they are talking about before you go and attribute the Bible to Constantine. Claiming that he wrote or had anything to do with the compiling of the Bible is about like saying King James wrote that version of the Bible. Just because he happened to be alive and in power then doesn't mean he had anything to do with the academic adn religious decisions that took place during his reign. That's like saying George W. Bush invented the cell phone, just because he happened to be alive during the general time of its development.
Also in response to another earlier post, Jesus' divinity was not voted into being, nor the views surrounding his birth death and ressurection. These views are clearly represented in the gospels themselves and in the earlier epistles to the churches. What was voted, was which teachings were considered most accurate. This was not something made up, it was being taught among all believers, and it was officially set up as the stance of hte church at several of the various councils. The choosing of which books to include was done by a large number of church leaders, and the ones that were left out were left out on the basis that they were not widely read and accepted in the early church. The four that were included, actually represetn quite different tellings of the life and teachings of Jesus, and seem to actually represent the broadness of the early dialogue about who Jesus was and how the early church thought about the divinity of Christ.

Once again, please don't believe anything from a forum like this, or popular novels, instead go to a bookstore and look for a couple of church history books and find out for yourself what legitimate scholars have to say about all this.
