To all true christians.....about new Bible?

Question

If someone (pope or priest from church) from today's world come up with a new bible and convince you with their words just like John, mathew or Luke that they are with the holy spirits while writing the Bible, then how many of you will be convinced with them?

If you are not convinced then why you got convinced with previous persons?

Answer 1

The gospel message was preserved in oral form for many years before being written down. Bible scholars believe the letters of Paul are the oldest books in the New Testament, written between 50 and 60 A.D. Mark was written around 70 A.D., about 40 years after Jesus was crucified. Matthew and Luke were written between 80 and 90 A.D. Finally, The Gospel of John appeared in its final form around 95 A.D. Bible Scholars believe Matthew and Luke incorporated much of the material from Mark into their gospels. They also included unique material of their own plus common material from a presumed source called "Q" (from the German, quelle, meaning "source"), which has not been preserved.

Because of their similarity, Matthew, Mark and Luke are called the synoptic gospels (from the Greek synopsis, meaning "a seeing together"). Most of our Bible Studies will be on a single book, but we are grouping the three synoptic gospels together because they have so much in common.

All four Gospels are anonymous in the sense that none mentions the author's name. The traditional names - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - did not become associated with these writings until the second century. Whether or not these men were the actual authors is very controversial. For convenience, however, we will refer to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as if they are the true authors.

The synoptic gospels read like a biography of Jesus, but that was not their original purpose. Neither were they written as history books or as books of a Christian Bible. Instead, they were first used in the early Christian churches as devotional materials, much like sermons. The human authors of these books selectively picked materials to include, rearranged it, and presented it in a way to suit their devotional purposes. Therefore we have to be content with gaps in our knowledge of Jesus' life and with some inconsistencies in names, places, times and other details of the events narrated in the gospels. However, we get a very similar "big picture" of Jesus' life and work from all four gospels, and we are fortunate to have these four "windows" to see four views of the central events of Christianity.

So the Bible was written after 40 to 60 years of Jesus.

Answer 2

The Holy Bible is the only authority over my life and it's God's word....which was concluded with Revelations in or around 96 A.D...I believe you can write a Spirit filled writing but it's got to be Truth that comes from the Holy Bible and divided properly...But it's something that is already within the Holy Bible and is being interperted, hopfully correctly..This is a very good question because at times we will begin to follow someones belief system instead of making sure it is correct.

Answer 3

I would not believe them because the Bible is done. It can't be added to. THE END. The Holy Spirit can aspire people to use discernment in order to interpret the Bible (that's how it's rightly so interpreted). But no one can add to it any more. The last word in it is "Amen" said by Jesus Christ Himself.

I believe what the BIble says because I have been studying it for many years and I have been learning ancient Hebrew and learning that the English words in my NAB are the same from the Hebrew Bible (of course just in the OT). It believe through history and church Tradition that the Holy Spirit, God's Spirit, inspired these men on what to write for the future generations to know about God's plan for eternal salvation. I also rely on myl faith in the Lord.

Answer 4

The books by Matthew, Mark, John and Peter were written by people who had lived and traveled with Jesus, knew him personally, and had seen (and duplicated) his miracles. James and Jude were his brothers, who had knew him all of their lives. Luke was close enough to the events to be able to find and interview the original people before he wrote his gospel. Luke lived most of the book of Acts (that is why it says "we" in many places.)

Anyone writting today would be 2000 years after the facts, and so would not be a reliable witness to the events.

Answer 5

I studied some classical Greek and Latin at school. Even I could translate narrative passages and produce passable translations into English. (Latin O level 'B', would be 'A' today.)
I think experts, natural linguists, trained well, and then having their translations compared against others to check against bias, are going to produce a pretty good translation.

You can check it out against other translations to make sure its not biased. All these translations can be easily bought. You can download programs like e-Sword that let you see as many translations as you like, for free. You can study and translate the Greek yourself - the gospels and Acts are not very difficult Greek.

Answer 6

I would probably not be convinced. Why? It's simple. Because Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were actual diciples of Christ. They ate with Him, talked with Him, and walked with Him.
The person in the world of today did not.

Answer 7

i wouldn't be convinced because the Bible is from God...its not from John, Mathew, or Luke.... God just used those people to write it for the world to use. God gave them visions and they wrote what they saw.

Answer 8

In Gods word he tells us of future changes and worldly things to happen. One of them is not that a new Bible will be written, however he does tell us that many men will mislead us and try to lead us away from him. Faith and understanding.

Answer 9

because the bible has been around for over 2000 years and is still going strong without change,i would not be so quick to accept something that just pops up out of the blue

Answer 10

God speaks to us through the bible and directly I would have dificulty believe today some one was with Jesus 200 years ago but I would read their words and let God speak through them.
