Here is a challege for you to ponder on. Can anyone tell me where the bible was written?

Question

Take time out to think about this question and pray on it. I will be back to give the answer. Until then this is RellShon99.

Answer 1

actually, it was written on three different continents, over a period of about 1500 years in three different languages, by over 40 different human authors from all walks of life,

and yet they all have exactly the same views on all kinds of very controversial subjects: divorce, adultery, murder, abortion, premarital sex, etc.).

How is that possible? (if you think that's easy, get 10 of your neighbors together (all living in the same century and even the same town and culture, and ask them for their views on all these subjects - you'll probably get 10 different answers to each one of them).

So clearly the thread of continuity running through the Bible considering how far apart both in time, culture and geographically it's human authors were, is nothing short of amazing.

and yet it's clear from reading it that it's all given by the same one author (God), since clearly He has the same views on all kinds of controversial subjects from beginning (Genesis) to Revelation.

Along with this, all of the proof from archeology, history and all of the amazing fulfilled prophecy from Scripture (prophesies written down hundreds of years before they came to pass in perfectly accurate detail) demonstrate once again what an amazing book the Bible is.

But even greater than that is this: It clearly teaches the way to Eternal Life.

Answer 2

That's really not an answerable question because the Bible wasn't written all at once. You see the Bible was a collection of books. These individual books weren't written down until about 400 A.D. by St. Jerome. Before then the books were remembered and told orally. St. Jerome translated most of the to Latin, i think. And from there the Latin was translated to a few other languages. The English version was translated from the French Version.

Answer 3

The Bible is an assembly that was put together about AD 400. It contains versions of Jewish literature written by an assortment of divinely-inspired individuals over 3000 years ago and longer and by the Christian writers on into the 2nd Century AD. As far as where the Bible was written, and based on the above information about when, then you will have to view the western portion of the Fertile Crescent as the general region, plus parts of Greece and Rome, and that is as specific as anyone can get.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I'm not sure where the Bible. In fact it is a collection of boooks written over many years by many different scholars. Before there even was a Bible, teachings and stories of religion where told and taught orally. When writing became the means of teaching and enlightenment, the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and the teachings and writings of Paul the Apostle were then expressed in writing after the death and Resurrection of Him. But that's about it. If you know anything else enlighten me.

Answer 6

Most of the books of the Bible were written as letters. Take for example 1st and 2nd Corinthians; those two books were actually letters that Paul had written to the Corinthians. The Bible wasn't something that one particular person sat down and wrote at one time; it is a compilation of various writtings, journals, historical accounts, etc from various people at various times around the world.

Hey, you asked!

Answer 8

The Old Testament, aka the Hebrew Bible, originates in modern day Iraq, Syria and the general Middle Eastern region. Many of the stories, however, are rehashed versions of stories from previous civilizations. For example, the 10 Commandments are very similar to Hammurabi's Code; Noah's Ark is very similar to a Sumerian tale about a man named Ziusudra, though the Biblical version is believed to originate from modern day Turkey. Much of the New Testament consists of letters of the apostles, who travelled from Rome-occupied Israel through Greece and Turkey and then onto Rome. This is starts in the Book of Acts. Of course, a great deal of the Bible was edited and rewritten throughout history, for example, King James' Bible, which was obviously edited to fit his agenda/beliefs.

Answer 9

It was written over a considerable period of time, especially if you count the old testament and the new, and therefore in a wide variety of locations. I believe most if not all of the New Testament was written somewhere within the Roman Empire, but it was huge at that time. Most modern interpretations started with the King James Version, which was written in England.

Answer 10

Hebrew scriptures - various places including Plains of Moab, Canaan, Israel, Judah, Egypt, Jerusalem, Shushan, Elam, Babylon, and Samaria. Greek scriptures - Palestine, Rome, Caesarea, Ephesus, Corinth, Macedonia, Syrian Antioch, Jersualem, Patmos.

Any books of the Bible in particular you're referring to?
