Did King James or the Apostles write the Bible?

Answer 1

Hardly any of the bible is thought to have been written by the actual apostles. The four gospels were written long after the four people they were attributed to were dead.

Paul liked to call himself an apostle but he never met Jesus.

The old testament was written before any of them were born.

Answer 2

It is said the some of the Apostles helped write the books that make up our Bible.

King James of England had nothing to do with writing the Bible. He commissioned a rather inaccurate translation of the Bible. You can even find works from the King James translation of the Bible in the present day Book of Mormon.

Answer 3

The New Testament was written by the Apostles under the inspiration of God during the first century in the Greek language. The King James Bible is an early translation of those Greek writings into English.

Answer 4

The Bible was a collection of gospels written by the Apostles and was put together by a council. It is noted that not all the gospels were included in the original seeing that there were gnostic gospel which were kept from being added to the Bible because of the controvery they would cause. One gospel was supposed to be written by Mary Magdeline.

King Jame has the Bible translated and while doing so he forced the translator to make some changes. The King James version of the Bible is where there was changes that made being or practicing to be a witch wrong by biblical standards. James had a great fear of witches!

Answer 5

Not King James did not write the Bible. The Bible is a collective work written by men under Divine inspiration of God.
King James actually authorized a translation of the Greek and Hebrew text into English. He had to AUTHORIZE this translation because only priest and scribes were allowed to do this and read the Bible before.

The people had no choice but to believe what was being told to them. That is why there are so many different Christian DENOMINATIONS.
People were able to read the Bible themselves. Then at times what the Priest were telling them was not what they were reading. So they broke away. Slowly as more misrepresentations were revealed... The more People broke away.

Answer 6

Various people, including many of the original apostles, wrote the Bible. The King James version is simply the original Bible, translated into King James' English.

Answer 7

The Bible was written by men who were under God's Control all were Israelites. Israel and the Messiah Jesus Christ is the theme ! The King James Bible is a translation ! Many people who mock the bible use this as a way to continue in their unbelief. The dead sea scrolls found in 1948 was found to be in harmony with the king james translation and the theory that the bible has errors and went through changes over time is shot in the foot. The main theme of the Bible is Israel will have a Messiah who will save the world ! Prophecy proves the bible ! Israel is the only nation to be scattered then gathered again ! Israel did not exist in 1947 ! Israel is gathered from every corner of the World and becomes a nation again in 1948 ! The Bible is history before it happens. Prophecy proves the bible to be Gods word .... splitting hairs over spelling is just ridiculous ! Maranatha

Answer 8

The term "canon" is used to describe the books that are divinely inspired and therefore belong in the Bible. The difficult aspect of determining the Biblical canon is that the Bible does not give us a list of the books that belong in the Bible. Determining the canon was a process, first by Jewish rabbis and scholars, and then later by early Christians. Ultimately, it was God who decided what books belonged in the Biblical canon. A book of Scripture belonged in the canon from the moment God inspired its writing. It was simply a matter of God convincing His human followers which books should be included in the Bible.

Compared to the New Testament, there was very little controversy over the canon of the Old Testament. Hebrew believers recognized God’s messengers, and accepted their writings as inspired of God. There was undeniably some debate in regards to the Old Testament canon. However, by 250 A.D. there was nearly universal agreement on the canon of Hebrew Scripture. The only issue that remained was the Apocrypha…with some debate and discussion continuing today. The vast majority of Hebrew scholars considered the Apocrypha to be good historical and religious documents, but not on the same level as the Hebrew Scriptures.

For the New Testament, the process of the recognition and collection began in the first centuries of the Christian church. Very early on, some of the New Testament books were being recognized. Paul considered Luke’s writings to be as authoritative as the Old Testament (1 Timothy 5:18; see also Deuteronomy 25:4 and Luke 10:7). Peter recognized Paul’s writings as Scripture (2 Peter 3:15-16). Some of the books of the New Testament were being circulated among the churches (Colossians 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:27). Clement of Rome mentioned at least eight New Testament books (A.D. 95). Ignatius of Antioch acknowledged about seven books (A.D. 115). Polycarp, a disciple of John the Apostle, acknowledged 15 books (A.D. 108). Later, Irenaeus mentioned 21 books (A.D. 185). Hippolytus recognized 22 books (A.D. 170-235). The New Testament books receiving the most controversy were Hebrews, James, 2 Peter, 2 John, and 3 John. The first “canon” was the Muratorian Canon, which was compiled in (A.D. 170). The Muratorian Canon included all of the New Testament books except Hebrews, James, and 3 John. In A.D. 363, the Council of Laodicea stated that only the Old Testament (along with the Apocrypha) and the 27 books of the New Testament were to be read in the churches. The Council of Hippo (A.D. 393) and the Council of Carthage (A.D. 397) also affirmed the same 27 books as authoritative.

The councils followed something similar to the following principles to determine whether a New Testament book was truly inspired by the Holy Spirit: 1) Was the author an apostle or have a close connection with an apostle? 2) Is the book being accepted by the Body of Christ at large? 3) Did the book contain consistency of doctrine and orthodox teaching? 4) Did the book bear evidence of high moral and spiritual values that would reflect a work of the Holy Spirit? Again, it is crucial to remember that the church did not determine the canon. No early church council decided on the canon. It was God, and God alone, who determined which books belonged in the Bible. It was simply a matter of God convincing His followers of what He had already decided upon. The human process of collecting the books of the Bible was flawed, but God, in His sovereignty, despite our ignorance and stubbornness, brought the early church to the recognition of the books He had inspired

Answer 9

The New Testament is made up of various books by different authors, some ascribed to the Apostles.
King James had scholars to make an English translation which he authorized for his English subjects. That is why it is called the King James Version or the Authorized Version.

Answer 10

The Bible was written by several people. Moses, Samuel, King David, other prophets, the disciples. King James sanctioned and authorized a new translation from the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures into what was then modern english.
There are more KJV Bibles in circulation than any other version. With it's poetic and lyrical style, it is the most beautiful of all the translations, as well as the easiest to understand, despite claims to the contrary.
There is much that is lost in the newer translations. The KJV is the most trusted, and is the only one that I will read or study from.
