Who.......?

Question

wrote the Bible?

I think it was Jim Darwin. What about you?

Answer 1

My friend Jesus wrote the Bible and I think you need to get to know him.

Answer 2

Men wrote it... though I doubt it was Jim. I think he should produce a text of his own though. ^_^

And William, the King James IS a translation of a translation... the Masoret texts are translations from Greek and Latin... not from any original Hebrew text... because, frankly, most of that was gone by the time the Masoret Texts were produces. And the Textus Receptus is also a translation from different interpretations and is hardly old enough to be considered original. The only thing you could even come close to claiming as original would be Isaiah in the dead sea scrolls and even those are considered copies of other copies. It doesn't matter if it stays within a single language because the texts can still change... which we see quite often in our own English versions. So they are still considered copies, which even those don't always match up. Please check the last verses in the book of Mark which are nowhere to be found in the older copies. As well as much of the resurrection scene given in the other books as well. Now, some English versions have those verses while some do not.

Answer 3

God had many writers, but the text is from Him.

Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Torah.
Various authors wrote the rest of the Tonakh.
The gospels were written by those so named.
Nearly all the epistles were written by Paul.
Other epistles were written by Peter, James, John and Jude.
Revelation was written by John.

Origin of the Bible - The Truth About Translations
To many, the origin of the Bible can be summed-up as follows: "A mere translation of a translation of an interpretation of an oral tradition" - and therefore, a book with no credibility or connection to the original texts. Actually, the foregoing statement is a common misunderstanding of both Christians and non-christians alike. Translations such as the King James Version are derived from existing copies of ancient manuscripts such as the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Old Testament) and the Greek Textus Receptus (New Testament), and are not translations of texts translated from other interpretations. The primary differences between today's Bible translations are merely related to how translators interpret a word or sentence from the original language of the text source (Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek).

Origin of the Bible - The Reliability of Ancient Manuscripts
Another challenge against the origin of the Bible is the reliability of the manuscripts from which today's Bibles are translated. Remarkably, there is widespread evidence for absolute reliability. There are more than 14,000 existing Old Testament manuscripts and fragments copied throughout the Middle East, Mediterranean and European regions that agree dramatically with each other. In addition, these texts agree with the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, which was translated from Hebrew to Greek some time during the 3rd century BC. The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in Israel in the 1940's and 50's, also provide phenomenal evidence for the reliability of the ancient transmission of the Jewish Scriptures (Old Testament) before the arrival of Jesus Christ. The Hebrew scribes who copied the Jewish Scriptures dedicated their lives to preserving the accuracy of the holy books. These scribes went to phenomenal lengths to insure manuscript reliability. They were highly trained and meticulously observed, counting every letter, word and paragraph against master scrolls. A single error would require the immediate destruction of the entire text.

The manuscript evidence for the New Testament is also dramatic, with over 5,300 known copies and fragments in the original Greek, nearly 800 of which were copied before 1000 AD. Some manuscript texts date to the early second and third centuries, with the time between the original autographs and our earliest existing copies being a remarkably short 60 years. Interestingly, this manuscript evidence far surpasses the manuscript reliability of other ancient writings that we trust as authentic every day. Look at these comparisons: Julius Caesar's "The Gallic Wars" (10 manuscripts remain, with the earliest one dating to 1,000 years after the original autograph); Pliny the Younger's "History" (7 manuscripts; 750 years elapsed); Thucydides' "History" (8 manuscripts; 1,300 years elapsed); Herodotus' "History" (8 manuscripts; 1,300 years elapsed); Sophocles (193 manuscripts; 1,400 years); Euripides (9 manuscripts; 1,500 years); and Aristotle (49 manuscripts; 1,400 years).

Homer's "Iliad", the most renowned book of ancient Greece, has 643 copies of manuscript support. In those copies, there are 764 disputed lines of text, as compared to 40 lines in all the New Testament manuscripts (Norman L. Geisler and William E. Nix, A General Introduction to the Bible, Moody, Chicago, Revised and Expanded 1986, p. 367). In fact, many people are unaware that each of William Shakespeare's 37 plays (written in the 1600's) have gaps in the surviving manuscripts, forcing scholars to "fill in the blanks." This pales in textual comparison with the over 5,300 copies and fragments of the New Testament that, together, assure us that nothing's been lost. In fact, all of the New Testament except eleven verses can be reconstructed from the writings of the early church fathers in the second and third centuries. (A General Introduction to the Bible, Ch. 24.)

Origin of the Bible - The Power of Prophecy
The origin of the Bible is God. It is a historical book that is backed by archeology, and a prophetic book that has lived up to all of its claims thus far. The Bible is God's letter to humanity collected into 66 books written by 40 divinely inspired writers over a period of over 1,600 years. The claim of divine inspiration may seem dramatic (or unrealistic to some), but a careful and honest study of the biblical scriptures will show them to be true. Powerfully, the Bible validates its divine authorship through fulfilled prophecies. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever been proven false (three are unconfirmed). God decided to use prophecy as His primary test of divine authorship, and an honest study of biblical prophecy will compellingly show the supernatural origin of the Bible. Skeptics must ask themselves, "Would the gambling industry even exist if people could really tell the future?" Again, no other holy book comes even close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its credibility, authenticity and divine authorship.

I don't think you really want an answer to that question and you are just making a joke about it but if you must know --most people will tell you it was written by men inspired by God.

Answer 7

No one knows. They claim they do know, but it's just a theory. Like MOST Christians will say JOHN wrote Revalations, but in fact no one really knows. They also say Moses wrote Genisis, Exodus, Leviticus, but its not true. it's just theory

Answer 9

Several people, that's why there's so many contradictions in it. If God dictated the whole thing, he must be a manic-depressive.
Huge difference between the pillar of fire, destroyer of cities, kill your first-born Old Testament God - and the "I love you, give me a hug" New Testament God.
