Answer 2

in the year 1

Answer 3

It is funny because there is no script about who the Father of Joseph - Father of Jesus and such things are needless in fact. Bible is not written or printed. It is born through a series of generations. If you know who has written the Bible or when was it written, it is not going to do any good. Further, writing, printing, publishing and advrtisements, marketing etc., is/are not applicable to Bible. Our ancestors were seeking everything for me, my home, my country, my world and so on - for successful completion of the life and to see the God while this human-body is with us. One who reaches there, has the answer of everything. But the answers for useless questions is merely time-consuming and completion of this life without any fruit. Awake, arise and fast forward. Time is not waiting.

Answer 4

The Bible is a collection of many writings by many authors over a period of hundreds of years. There are stories, histories, biographies and letters and political commentary. There are songs, poems, wise sayings, laws, and commandments. There are lessons about life and love and God.

Jews believe the authors of the Jewish Scriptures (Old Testament) were inspired by God.

Christians believe the authors of both the Old and New Testament were inspired by God.

With love in Christ.

Answer 5

Three weeks ago Tuesday. I know, I was there. Took the guy eight and a half hours.

Just kidding. It was a very long time ago and spans a couple thousand years. The Old Testament was written long before Jesus was even born and prophesied about His birth and crucifixion in Isaiah 9 and Isaiah 53. The New Testament was written after Jesus' crucifixion, death, resurrection and ascencion to heaven.

Answer 6

It's still coming. Most editions haven't incorporated the Dead Sea Scrolls or most recent Codexs.

Originally the stories of the Bible were passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth.

Then God gave Moses the 10 commandments written in stone tablets.

Then God gave Moses a bunch of rules and these were committed to memory and possibly written in scrolls.

After a while they began writing all of this down in Scrolls.

The oldest pieces we have date to around 1,000 BC and are incomplete.

When Greece occupied the Middle East translations of the Hebrew scrolls were made into Greek and taken to Greece.

There are about 2-3 almost complete Hebrew sets of scrolls found in the Middle East in Egypt and Iran, I believe.

There are Greek translations that date between 100 BC and 100 AD found in some Orthodox Churches in Greece, Turkey, Russia and there is also a Heberw version lost in Russia somewhere.

The New Testitment began somewhere around 3 AD to 50 AD with writings of scribes from stories and teachings plus writings from Peter and Paul and a few other disciples and a lot of letters from Paul to the various Church ministries founded by Peter and Paul in that time span between Rome, Greece, Turkey, Macedonia, Cyprius and other areas.

Each Church had their own hand written set of Bibles based on Greek Old Testiment and new writings. Sometimes these writings were shared other times not.

Between 300 - 350 AD Pagan Emperor of the Roman (Byzantine) world Constantine assembled senior Church leaders from all the various Orthodox followings of Jesus established by Peter and Paul and had them come together on common ground about a single Bible, single set of Rules, Traiditions, Dates, Events. This was, essentially, a Unification assembly to define the relgion into a common practise.

About 100 books were considered for the Bible and many were not included. Including 2Romans, 3Corinthians, The Infancy, The Gospel of Mary Magdeline and others.

Why, is hard sometimes to say. It was a poltical gathering and to get a unified vote required barter.

Since these new Churches were not based or not heavily based on Judism as pratctised by Jesus and the Disciples it was eventually ironed out through some process to incorporate elements of Judaism, Paganism and the life of Jesus into a series of events that local people could quickly adopt.

Hence Chaunuka/Yule became the Birth of Jesus with festivals, presents, joy, warmth, a tree (Hebrews have a Chaunka bush, Pagan have a Yule log, Hebrews have Candles they light).

Passover/Spring Festival became Easter.

The sabbath was moved from the Hebrew Friday/Saturday to Sunday because Jesus arose on a Sunday and thus seemed a good holy day.

The results became the Orthodox or Catholic Church.

Elsewhere in the world at the same time, Jesus Uncle, I beleive, went to the Whales area and there founded a following and Bibles were written in that area.

Somewhere along the lines it was determined to write all Bibles and do all liturgies in Latin.

Some of the Practises of the Church bothered some of the sects after a while, including a change of rules that forbid priests to marry.

Around 1000 AD the Greeks, Russians, Macedonians, Polish, Romanian and a few other Churches broke relations with Rome and established their own rules.

They often allowed Priests to marry. Wrote Bibles and spoke the Liturgy in Local Language. They also kept the Original Date of Easter in the Old Calendar rather than adopting the new one used by the Catholic Church in Rome. Hence they often celebratre Easter a week apart.

Between 1300 and 1500 people like Calvin and Wycliffe in upper Europe were having different views on religion and translating the Latin Bible into the local language. They were radicals and verged on being heretics, but they established some small underground followings.

Then around 1500 King Henry of England broke with Rome over his divorce request and he established the Church of England, which was a neo-Catholic Church that allowed divorce, eventually alled Priests to marry and he made himeself the original leader.

He commissionied a new Bible which was veyr close to the Cathoic Bible, except in English.

England Vassilated between this new Anglican Church and the Catholic church based on King or Queen, but after a while it was determined ALL Monarchs had to be a member of the Anglican Church.

In 1600 King James gathered is own congregation of Church leaders and had them go over all the various Bibles (50+) that existed and compile a defintive edition which became the King James Version or KJV or Holy Bible.

Elsewhere Catholic Priest Martin Luther was breaking off relations with the Catholic Church and wrote a German translation of the Bible and he eveutally developed a new religious order known as the Lutheran following.

So now we have all these bibles.

With the invention of the Printing Press Rome declared that the Catholic Bible should be printed in English, French, German, etc. and distributed to the local churchs to be read, for the first time, by the following.

Between 1600 and 1800 in American the modern day religions evolved out of the Anabaptist, Calvanist, Weslyan, Puritan and Presbus movements in America -- each with their own Bible version. Also Catholics and Anglicans settled in America with their Bibles.

These became the American or Western Orthodox religions of Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Episcopilians and Roman Catholics.

Between 1700 and 2000 there have been other translations, including the one by the Gideon Society, the NIV, the RSV and the Living Bible.

Starting in the 1800s there came some New Age religions such as Seventh Day Adventists, Christians Scientists, Pentacostals, Apostolics and Mormons.

Some had extra books for their Bibles from modern day prophets.

Now we have about 20 different Bible Versions of which about 97% are accurate in the Old Testiment to the HEbrew writings, with some grammar and syntax changes. And about 90% are accurate to each other in the NEw Testiment, with some books added, some books deleted, stress, syntax and grammar changes.

The KJV is Old English

The NIV and RSV are Modern English

The Living Bible is Contemporary American

The NIV and RSV are annoated and you can obtain origianal Greek Lexicons that relate to the annotations so you can see what the original Greek had to say before they translated it to English.

There are also side by side Greek English Bibles.

Answer 7

essentially it is a compilation and rewriting of old myths - they took some stuff from other religions, renamed the characters and put a little bit of spin on it... then as seen fit, the bible was rewritten over and over again to create a doctrine fit to control the masses and keep the people in fear.....and man did they do a good job....

Answer 8

The Bible was completed about 60 years after the death of Christ. That means it was completed before anyone had the chance to mess with it.

Answer 9

How the Word of God came to be written
OLD TESTAMENT
The authors of Hebrew Scriptures are not as identifiable as those of the New Testament. The Books arose in the midst of the law given by Moses and the prophets sent by God to the children of Israel. The first 5 books (The Law) were written by Moses almost entirely. The remainder of the Old Testament is composed of the prophets and writings in the Hebrew canon, whereas the English Bible includes the following categories: historical books, poetic books, and prophetic books. These books include such authors as Samuel, David, Joshua, Solomon, and the Major Prophets such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and a number of lesser-known figures who wrote smaller books called the Minor Prophets. Each of these authors presents his words as being the Word of God.

NEW TESTAMENT
The New Testament was written by apostles of Jesus Christ and companions of the Apostles, Letters were written to individuals, churches, or larger groups of persons either to conform the truth of Christianity, engender belief in Christ, Correct problems in the local churches, or argue against error. The Book of Revelation also seeks tp present God’s plan for the end of the age.

HOW THE INSPIRED WRITTINGS WERE PASSED DOWN
OLD TESTAMENT
The Old Testament was written between 1440 B.C. and approximately 400 B.C.
The Laws of Moses was maintained in the Hebrew community by the priests of the temple. Later books continued to be deposited with these leaders until the destruction of the temple and then found their way into the teaching community begun by Ezra and continued in the synagogues. Trained scribes copied biblical texts by hand until the modern printing press came into use. The copies of the Masoretes of the ninth century A.D. are very close to the recently discovered Dead Sea scrolls, which originated a thousand years earlier.

NEW TESTAMENT
The New Testament books were copied by local Christian communities and passed from one to another for decades before an entire collection was made. Since the early letters were written on papyrus, they wore out rapidly and required regular copying. In the early fourth century A.D., fifty copies of the entire Old and New Testament Greek Scriptures were made at the order of the first Christian emperor, Constantine. It is likely that the Vaticanus and Sinaticus codex’s, two of the longest early manuscripts to survive, originated from this order.

WHAT IS THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE?
The word canon is a word used to identify the writings of the prophets, the apostles, and their companions, which are inspired by God and authoritative for truth pertaining to doctrine and life. It means “rule” or “standard.” A book is not inspired because it is declared to be canonical but is considered inspired. Therefore, the church discovered the canonicity of the Old Testament books; it did not determine or cause their canonicity.

HOW THE CANON WAS DECIDED
The books accepted by the Jewish community originated over a period of approximately one thousand years. The first question regarding writing’s acceptance was whether the book was written by a prophet of God. Generally the book would have statements of “thus says the Lord,” or “the word of the Lord came.” Second, miraculous signs or accuracy of fulfillment served as confirmation of a prophet’s message. Third, the book had to be internally consistent with the revelation of God found in the teachings of other canonical books, especially what God gave through Moses.
The first question for the church to answer about a books inclusion in the canon accepted by Christians was whether it came through the apostles of the Lord or through persons under the guidance of an apostle, such as Luke. Second, the book had to come with the power of God and be effective for changing lives. Third, it must have been generally accepted by the people of God. This latter test refers first to the ones who received the book and next to the transmission in the church. Determination of the New Testament canon took place over a period of years, reaching its final form at Synod of Carthage in 397.

THE MANUCRIPTS OF THE BIBLE
Old Testament
Fragments of the Hebrew Scriptures number in the Tens of Thousands, the majority dating between the third century B.C. and the fourteenth century A.D. The greatest attestation to the Hebrew Old Testament is the manuscripts found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which mostly date from the third century B. C. to the first Century A.D.

New Testament
Manuscript evidence for the New Testament is abundant. There are more than five thousand existing copies, many with New Testament books entirely or largely intact.
Also there are several older translations of the New Testament into languages like Syriac, Coptic, and Latin that survive in thousands of manuscripts. No work of antiquity even approaches the New Testament for authenticity.
