Answer 1

Good for you! Keep up the work. Sometimes learning is time-consuming and thankless, but that doesn't change the fact that expanding in knowledge of God is wonderful and will be rewarded spiritually. :)

Answer 2

The Old Testament ones didn't really have a concept of "the Bible" when they were writing. The New Testament ones did; they almost all used the Septuagint (a Greek translation) as their source for scripture. The Old Testament writings were known as the Teaching (or Law), the Prophets, and other writings; Jews didn't really settle which of that last group were part of their Bible until later. All extant writings of Paul's were intended as letters. Some that might not actually have been written by Paul may have been intended for publication rather than as real letters. (The two items we identify as Paul's letters to the Corinthians are believed by various scholars to include pieces of anywhere from three to eight different letters.) But letters are often collected for publication. I have books on the shelf containing letters of various people: Keats and Tolkien come to mind. The apocryphal Letters of Paul and Seneca, one of the items left out of the Bible--which seems to me to be just as well--includes a note from Seneca congratulating Paul on his "book of Epistles" (which Seneca intends to read to the Emperor when he gets the opportunity), which suggests that Paul's actual letters were circulating in collected form by the time this silly, but very early, forgery was concocted. What qualifies them as Scripture is not so much the original circumstances but the degree to which subsequent readers have found them valuable. That's how the Old Testament was collected, too. While Solomon might have hoped his portion of Proverbs and his Psalms were saved for future generations, he might have been a bit surprised at the inclusion of Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs.

Answer 3

You totally left out the epistles of John, Peter, and Hebrews.

Also the Old Testament was edited, clearly the last book attributed to Moses was not by his hand because it talks about the death of Moses. And the Acts was not written by John is was written by Luke. Oh and you forgot James and Titus and Philemon. Are you sure you did your research?

Answer 4

Ok.
So whats your point?
I believe the book of Acts was written by Luke.
Some Theologians put Mark as the first book of the gospels.
It is thought that Paul handed in Lukes work. (Only Luke stood with Paul in the end.)

Answer 5

I thought Paul wrote the book of Acts.

You learn something new every day.
