who do you think made the bible?

Question

man or GOD please serious people only

Answer 1

“The 66 books of the Bible were written on three continents, In three languages. By about 40 different people (kings, shepherds, fishermen, priests, and a physician). Over a period of about 1500 years. On the most controversial subjects. By people who in most cases had never met. By authors whose education and background varied greatly. Yet all 66 books maintain harmony with each other…as if written by one great mind. And indeed it was.” 2 Peter 1 verse 21 “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy spirit” Critics of the Bible have tried to say that certain “historical statements” in the Bible are not accurate but archaeologists have uncovered many discoveries that have proven the history of the Bible as accurate. The principles and the prophecies of the old testament as well as its history holds for us today as much relevance as it did for the Israelites in Jesus day and it blends perfectly with the new testament.

Answer 2

Both -
In the 4th century Alexander the Great had a scribe take all the writings out there that were being used and go through them and put the ones that he felt gave the word of God in a book (Bible). This is what the Catholics now call the Bible. Then again it was revised again being called the King James Version. Of course since then there are been several revisions on that since then. I think that with each revision the person doing so put their own views and interpretations into it. I think the first 2 versions were most likely the most accurate but even then what about the missing books the were never put in the Bible, what would they have told us? Would we have a different view of God if we still had those?

I believe that the Bible was inspired by God as his word and the teachings of His Son Jesus Christ as far as it is translated correctly. Why this clause for me? because anyone can revise the Bible and it seems to get accepted by so many Christians that some don't even have the same meanings in places.

Answer 3

The King James Bible, which is currently the more widespread verion of the 'holy scriptures' was written and revised by men. The King James Bible was first published in 1611. More modern versions of the bible take their authority from completely different writings then the KJ, using earlier egyptian minority writings(the KJ is translated from greek and byzantine texts) All of the bibles used today have differences that are visible as you allow for translators styles, beliefs, and the customs and beliefs of the time. To find the actual bible, you would have to get the originals, and eve those may have been altered by the 'inspired' disciple/priest to allow for what they wanted to be known.

Answer 4

The Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version

With Challoner Revisions 1749-52
1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company

IMPRIMATUR:
James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.

Pope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546.

The DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles.

The whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner.

The DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software.

One important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899.

The text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected.

Every effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9.

Psalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Answer 5

The Bible is the written Word of God, written by men of God, and protected by God throughout the ages against errors.

If anyone does not think God is capable of protecting His Word, then they doubt God's abilities, and are not a Christian.

And all the books in the Bible, are exactly what God wants in there, for He is powerful enough to make sure it contains exactly what He wants in there.

Answer 6

God authored the Bible; using men to actually do the writing. They are God's words put into human language.

Answer 7
