When was the Bible compiled?

Question

Does anyone have an idea of when the Bible was compiled and by whom? Any further comments on the subject are welcome.

Answer 1

The Bible stories were first written down between 600 & 450 BC. They were not compiled into one Scroll until after the Greeks took control of the fertile cresent from the Egyptians about 300 BC.
So it was possibly between 550 & 500 BC. However the Romans destroyed all the Scrolls between 66 & 100 AD. The Jewish books were reassembled from all the scraps that could be found & what could be remembered by the Jewish scholars of that time. The Epistles & the Gospels were written around 66 to 200 AD by Christian scholars & Bishops.
The Old Testament was Assembled into one book from Greek writings around 450 AD for Christians. The Epistles a little later.
A number of Bibles were written by various Christian factions from around 600AD. There were various different Bibles written, some in verse, some in a singing metre, some in a story fashion. These were written by hand. After the Gutenberg Press was invented Bibles were churned out as fast as they could be printed. The first Bible was in Old German & would not be understood by any German nowdays.
The KJB is a composite of a number of English & European Bibles. It was compiled in Old English by a number of University Professors who belonged to various Secret Societys such as; Masons & Rosecrusians. That is why the Bible has a numbered verse system. There is at least some truth (but not all) in the Bible Code theory.
Since then it has been rewritten numerous times as the English language has changed, in order to try & keep to the original meaning. The KJB has an interesting Preface. It states that, "Everything written in this bible may not be the truth, but the truth is contained within."
If the Bible was translated particular word for particular word as is the Koran then the language would nor make sense in modern English. The Arabic have not changed. It's a grammar thing. And the meanings of some words themselves have entirely different meanings to what they had 2000 years ago because English is a bastardized composite language of Anglo, Saxon, French, Danish, Latin & Greek and a number of other assimilated words from the Indian, Chinese & Arabic.
A completely faithful word for word translation from Aharamaic to English just would not make any sense at all.
Find an Encyclopedia & you will find a detailed timeline for the Bibles compilation.
