who created/ wrote the bible?

Question

it couldnt have appeared from no where...

Answer 1

The Bible is really just a fake story, perhaps a bit like the Loch Ness monster tales.

When we pass on information to another (example: story, joke, description of something etc) by the time these details are passed on by word of mouth, interpreted by others, and then written down, the final details are typically quite different than the original information.

Since the Bible is just a man-made story passed down over many years in various forms, the chance of it being accurate in any shape or form is remote.

There are people who swear blind that the Loch Ness monster exists regardless of all the evidence to the contrary, but a fence post bobbing up and down in the Loch does the trick. Similarly there are people who swear blind that God exists and the Bible is fact, yet there isn’t one blind bit of evidence to support such theories.

Biblical tales are really no different than Loch Ness monster tales, just the era is different. There is not one single matter discussed in the Bible out of the many thousands of issues raised that has been proven true, yet many matters have been proven false.

You don’t really need to be a rocket scientist to deduce with practically 100% certainty that God and the Bible are fake.

Answer 2

The Old Testament was written by various people over a long period of time. It represents the religious, social and scientific beliefs of the ancient Jewish people, along with some (rather biased) history, hymns and clever sayings.

The New Testament is made up of the Gospels, Acts, Epistles and Revelation (Apocalypse). The Gospels of Matthew and Mark appear to be compilation jobs put together from earlier sayings and stories of Jesus. Luke and Acts are a bit more recent and appear to be by the same person (traditonally a Romanised Greek called Marcus Lucus, but no-one's got an autographed copy). The Gospel and Epistle of John, along with Revelation come from the community at Patmos where the Apostle John lived although there seem to be a number of writers. Paul's, Peter's and James's Epistles are authentic - the Vatican Library has most of the originals including an autographed copy of Philemon! We're not really sure who wrote Hebrews or Jude.

What we now know as the Bible are the books considered Kosher by the Nicene Council, although some got demoted at the reformation.

Answer 3

The New Testament in the Bible is a collection of interpretations of stories which were not written down till at least 50 years after the death of Jesus. Till that time all the Bible was an aural tradition. Then the Church decided which versions of the story would be included in the written form, which is why there are only 4 gospels and not the 12 for each of the desciples, mainly because they contradicted each other or conflicted with the beliefs of the time. I do not know how the Old Testmanet was compiled- sorry, but probably much the same but guided by the Jewish high priests

Answer 4

This was taken from: http://www.amazingfacts.org/items/study_guides.asp
"Is There Anything Left You Can Trust?"

A. The 66 books of the Bible were written:
1. On three continents.
2. In three languages.
3. By about 40 different people (kings, shepherds, scientists, attorneys, an army general, fishermen, priests, and a physician).
4. Over a period of about 1,500 years.
5. On the most controversial subjects.
6. By people who, in most cases, had never met.
7. By authors whose education and background varied greatly.

B. Yet, though it seems totally inconceivable,
1. The 66 books maintain harmony with each other.
2. Often new concepts on a subject are expressed, but these concepts do not undermine what other Bible writers say on the same subject.

C. Talk about astounding!
Ask people who have viewed an identical event to each give a report of what happened. They will differ widely and will virtually always contradict each other in some way. Yet the Bible, penned by 40 writers over a 1,500-year period, reads as if written by one great mind. And, indeed, it was: "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:21. The Holy Ghost "moved" them all. He is the real Bible Author. The four Gospels do sometimes differ in the way they report the same event, but they complement each other.

Answer 5

The Bible was inspired by God those writers were guided by the Holy Spirit , Genesis was told from handed down through the generations stories. The New testament first four Gospels are first hand account of what The disciples witnessed of Jesus Life, Paul was the Roman Soldier that was turned around by God and Filled with the Holy Spirit an anointed Teacher, who experienced the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. No one knows who wrote Timothy it is translated poorly but accredited to Paul, But I and many others know Paul did not write those books think the Vatican added them to give leverage to the Church.

Answer 6

Who created the bible? Ordinary men who were trying to put together a political force. Think of it as a "continental congress" type operation where wannabe leaders got together and created an intricate mythology, with laws and bylaws, for the purpose of organizing a national identity with military power, which could make war and/or take land and property from others under the auspices of being "chosen" by a divine entity. The bible was designed to, in effect, create a new country.

Answer 7

The Bible is a collection of the Sacred writings of Christianity. It is believed that the Pentateuch was penned by Moses, under God's inspiration. Other Books were written by various scribes and prophets, or at the very least, about them and their times. But since each writer was working under the inspiration of God, their MESSAGE is eternal. Yes a few assumed that their current common knowledge was correct when it wasn't, or typo's may have crept in over the years, but the wisdom of God is still to be found in its pages. God gives people freedom to frame His thoughts in whatever way they judge to be most effective. None of the writers could have guessed that their words would be preserved for millennia. Give 'em a break!

Answer 8

The sort of scientific inaccuracies in the Bible could point out that the God who's rumored to have designed the animals, made the celebs, and set the Earth to spinning, isn't the same God who's rumored to have inspired the Bible. it may look that they don't seem to be even on speaking words with one yet another. And the God who's rumored to have inspired some passages, is probably going not on speaking words with the God who's rumored to have inspired passages which declare the perfect opposite. So, with out attempting to be insulting approximately it, i will in basic terms say that the Bible seems to have been written by ability of adult males, with out plenty, if any, help from Supernatural Beings.

Answer 9

The original texts still exist (all of them)
Constantine the Great, brought priests of Christendom and the original texts together to have them set them in order.

From them the books that are included in the bible are from this 300AD meeting.

ALL the original texts still exist, not all made it into the bible.
The Bible books are considered Divine
Others considered Good but not Divine are not in the bible, and then some were declared Heretical

Answer 10

WHO WROTE THE BIBLE?

THE DOCTRINE OF INSPIRATION

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

This is the foundational passage on the subject of the inspiration of the Bible. It says very pointedly that all Scripture is inspired by God. There are three points that need be observed.

1. The FACT of Inspiration: All Scripture is INSPIRED by God... (2 Timothy 3:16a).

I have heard people speak of how they were watching a beautiful golden sunset and inspired to paint a picture or to write a poem. But this is not what this verse is saying

The phrase "inspired by God" is translated from the single Greek word qeopneustos. This is the only time that this word ever occurs in the New Testament.

To the best of my knowledge, it is the first time this word is ever used in the Greek language. This means that Paul coined the word himself to describe the work of God in producing the Scriptures. Paul does something similar in 1 Thessalonians 4:9 when he says that you yourselves are taught by God to love one another - literally, you are "God-taught" (qeodidaktos).

In both cases, Paul utilizes a compound word, made up of two commonly used Greek words which are joined together to form a new word.

a. The first word is qeos. It is the word for God.

b. The second word is pnew. It is a verb meaning "to breathe" or "to blow."

It is also the verbal form of the Greek word for "spirit" (pneuma).

Therefore, we could say that "all Scripture is GOD-BREATHED." The very breath and spirit of God has been infused into the writings of the Bible. This is why we refer to it as the Word of God.

Although the specific term that Paul coins was a new one, the concept was not. The Old Testament describes God as accomplishing the work of Creation "by the breath of His mouth" (Psalm 33:6). In the same way, the Bible is the result of the creative work of God.

2. The EXTENT of Inspiration: ALL Scripture is inspired by God... (2 Timothy 3:16a).

All of Scripture is God-breathed. It is not just a small portion of the Bible, but every single sentence and every single word that is God-breathed. This is all-encompassing.

Jesus stressed this principle when He spoke of the abiding quality of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount.

"For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished." (Matthew 5:18).

The Greek text is even more specific. It says, "Not one IOTA or one KERAIA shall pass from the law."

o The IOTA was the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet.

o The KERAIA was the little horn attached to the Hebrew letter BETH to distinguish it from the letter KAPH.

Don't miss this! Jesus says that each and every letter and dot of God’s word would continue to stand. We could say that not one cross of the "T" and not one dot of the "I" will pass away. There is not one part of the Bible that is more inspired or more trustworthy than any other part. It is ALL completely God's word.

3. The OBJECT of Inspiration: All SCRIPTURE is inspired by God... (2 Timothy 3:16a).

It is the Scriptures themselves that are inspired. Paul does not say that the writers of the Scriptures were inspired. He says that the Scriptures themselves that are inspired.

If it had been merely the human authors who had received a revelation from God and then had written their own interpretation of that revelation, then we might wonder if they had not permitted error to creep in as they put this truth into their own words.

However, this is not the case. It is not the writers, but the Scriptures themselves which are said to be God-breathed.

This means that God did not guarantee that everything that Peter or Paul or any other of the human authors ever wrote were correct. No doubt, they wrote many other things that were not inspired by God and the inerrancy of those other writings is not guaranteed.

Rather, it is the truthfulness of the books that make up our Bible that is guaranteed by inspiration.

At the same time, we must recognize the aspect of dual authorship. By this, I mean that there were really two authors of each book - the Holy Spirit and the human author.

There are instances where the human writers described things of which they were eye-witnesses and merely wrote of the thing that they had seen. At other times, these same writers described events that they could not possibly have known about without a supernatural revelation from God (such as those events which took place prior to the creation of man).

There were also times when they wrote and did not themselves understand the full implications of that which they wrote (Daniel writes certain things which are to be sealed up until a future time).

Therefore the principle of inspiration refers to RESULT, not the METHOD in which the Scriptures were written.

In this way, the Bible was written both by men and yet at the same time it is the Word of God.
