True or false: The medivial text of the Bible was written by people that tended sheep and rode camels.?

Question

Looking for the truth.

Answer 1

The Bible is God’s letter to humanity collected into 66 books written by 40 divinely inspired writers. These writers come from all walks of life (i.e., kings to fishermen) and spans over a period of 1,500 years or more.

Yet the content of the bible, written over these 1500 years is more reliable than any other historical writings we have in the world.

Some have claimed that the bible is no more accurate that Homer's Iliad. I respectfully disagree and the table shown at the link above clearly demonstrates my argument that the Bible is one of the most accurate sources for the events described in it.

The design of the Bible itself is a miracle. Written over more than 1,500 years by vastly different writers, yet every book in the Bible is consistent in its message. These 66 books talk about history, prophecy, poetry, and theology.

No human beings could have planned such an intricate combination of books over a 1,500-year time span. Bible manuscripts (remember, there were no printing presses until 1455) have survived despite weather, persecution and time. Most ancient writings written on weak materials like papyrus have vanished all together. Yet many copies of the Old Testament scriptures survived. For instance, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain all books of the Old Testament, except Esther, and have been dated to before the time of Christ. Consider Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars. Only ten copies written about 1,000 years after the event are in existence. In comparison, there are over 24,000+ New Testament manuscripts, the earliest one dating to within 24 years after Christ.

The Bible also validates its divine authorship through fulfilled prophecies. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever been proven false (three are unconfirmed). An honest study of biblical prophecy will compellingly show the divine authorship of the Bible. Further, archeology confirms (or in some cases supports) accounts in the biblical record. No other holy book comes close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its divine authorship.

Few fail to realize this and show their lack of knowledge in the historicity of the Bible by objecting when folks use the bible to support their own positions. While no one objects when a journal article or some popular book or media piece is quoted, there is always lots of flippant commentary when Christians use the bible as a reference.

Answer 2

That is true. There was also state officials, judges, prophets, kings, farmers, and fishermen—some 40 men in all. Thus, the Bible, although a message from God (it was inspired by God), has the warmth, variety, and appeal of the human touch.
Many of the Bible writers did not know one another. They even lived centuries apart and were extremely different in temperament and experience, as well as in social and educational backgrounds. Yet, whether they were young or old, their writing shows a complete unity. Over a period of some 1,600 years, they wrote until the book was finally finished. After a careful examination, you will find that the Bible’s statements reflect a remarkable harmony. The Bible thus echoes the mind of one Author, though many writers were used.
From start to finish the Bible a centeral theme, which is God's kingdom. (which Jesus told us to pray for).

Answer 3

interior the King James version Bible, a million John 5:7 reads: For there are 3 that undergo checklist in heaven, the father, the word, and the Holy Ghost: and those 3 are one. employing the writings of the early Church Fathers, the Greek and Latin manuscripts and the testimony of the 1st variations of the Bible, Newton confirmed that the words "in heaven, the father, the word, and the Holy Ghost: and those 3 are one," in help of the Trinity doctrine, did no longer look interior the unique Greek Scriptures. He then traced the way the purportedly spurious examining crept into the Latin variations, first as a marginal observe, and later into the textual content fabric itself. He spoke of that "the Æthiopic, Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, and Slavonic variations, nonetheless in use interior the quite some jap countries, Ethiopia, Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Armenia, Muscovy, and a few others, are strangers to this examining".[4] He argued[5] that it grew to become into first taken right into a Greek textual content fabric in 1515 via Cardinal Ximenes on the flexibility of a prior due Greek manuscript corrected from the Latin. ultimately, Newton considered the sense and context of the verse, concluding that removing the interpolation makes "the sense trouble-free and organic, and the argument finished and powerful; yet once you insert the testimony of 'the three in Heaven' you interrupt and smash it."[6]

Answer 4

In the Medeival age, the Bible was hand-written. In those days, the only people with the ability to read and write were highly educated, and lived in better conditions than farmers. Bible's were only available after the invention of the printing press. So it's logical to assume that copies of the bible were written by educated people.
