The correct answer is "no".The Dead Sea Scrolls is the earliest manuscript written in the Bible.It isn't written in the first century of Judaism.These scrolls are written thousand of years after Judaism.
I don't know about the New Testament.

yes it does.(i was wrong) an example of it is the dead sea scrolls this was just a few books.
the interesting thing is that the bible that we have today is the same as the orig right through history unless you get the JW's or Mormons version. (sorry there is a bit that was added by some sect in the 1500's AD in the book of 1Jo 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.) some people believe it was put there by the Catholics I'm not to sure about that but who knows their not owing up to it

The bible is a collection of earlier works, stories, myths, collections of wisdom, or stories. It has been edited, rewritten, copied, modified, changed, re-edited, re-written, to the point that there is no original material left. The oldest copies of the bible date from the 4th century and are copies of the bibles ordered to be prepared by the Roman Emperor Constantine. That is the basic version we have today although there are some changes, additions, omissions that are evident.

The answer is no.
The Bible is a library of 66 little books ....all written individually, over 1600 years.
It was not till the end of the first century that it appeared all as one.
Some copies have been found dating 50 years after that.

The Dead Sea Scrolls contain the oldest known text of parts of the Bible, but they are not old enough to be original texts.

The Bible was complied from 66 different books from about 40 authors over a period of 1500 years. Manuscripts can not last that long.

I think the oldest extant copies are the Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in Palestine in the 1940s. They contain parts of the Bible.

The bible was formed from many sources which came together over time so an "origional" does not really exist.

The movie, “Stigmata” has a piece of information revealing that another scroll was found close by the Dead Sea scrolls, but the church denounced it as heresy. The new found scroll was said to be written by the hand of Jesus directing how his church should be run. I always felt unsure about the church institution (not the faith part) myself…
