No the word Bible does not appear in the scriptures.
However, at 2Ti 4:13 "When you come, bring the cloak I left at Tro´as with Carpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments."
These terms were translated from the Greek words which by meaning were "sacred writings"
; Re 20:12 "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds."
This second set of Scrolls were figurative in that they described in terms that could be understood that there would be an accounting of deeds. In the first century it was common to keep records of debts and deeds on scrolls. Depending upon the importance of the scroll it was give appropriate elevated importance according to the word modifiers.
The terms in Hebrew and Greek for "little books" and scrolls do appear. So there was an accepted understanding that the original texts were to be considered a collection of "little books" from which our modern day Bibles have been translated and assembled.
The "seven deadly sins" are "pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth"

No for both questions. The bible is a compilation of the old testament (history of the jewish people), and new testament, which is a compilation of letters which were written thousands of years earlier.
The seven deadly sins are mentioned in the bible as Sins but not as the deadly sins and not listed together. The catholic clergies decided what sins were and which ones were the deadliest. I'm not sure if they determined that through the bite or the poison.

No. The bible is an English word meaning "book of books." The usage of this term came far after the authors of the various books of the bible had passed from the earth, and their works were assembled and printed by the English, in or around the 1400's.
The sins are given a thorough rant by Paul in his letter to the Corinthians , 5:11.

No. Just like "history book" is not in the history books in school. The word Bible comes from a Latin word that I cannot remember. The Bible is a collection of different books in one not put together to later on after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As far as the seven sins, I cannot remember exactly and will get back to you on that.....

Nope, the word Bible is little more than the Latin word for Book! The seven deadly sins is a Catholic thing, not mentioned in the Holy Bible (I'm not sure it is even in the Catholic Bible ... I don't recall seeing them). Ultimately, without salvation through Christ, all sins are deadly.

No, the bible didn't come into existence until hundreds of years after its individual books were written. It was a church council, the purpose of which was to consolidate the church's power, that decided what books would and would not be in the bible.
