Since the Bible is the truth and God is omnicient....?

Question

why weren't the books of the NT added at the end of the OT, when the OT was written?

Answer 1

because its a crock of ****...and everyone knows that

Answer 2

It happens to be the way the histories were written. The last book of Malichi was written about 300 - 400 years before the birth of Christ. There are other historical records to fill in the gaps but The Council of Nicea and others have deemed Apochrphyl writtings to be "uncanonnical". It does not mean they are not historical. Then, the manuscripts of the Gospels were written only about 20 -30 years after Christ's death. Not enough time for legend or hearsay to creep in as well as the way it was written, with a whole community knowing what went into the scroll. Then the Letters were just that. Letters from a friend to the people he loved and those were also added. In the big picture of things, there is a Scripture that says "Men of God spoke as they were moved by The Holy Spirit" and most of what they spoke was written down for all to know about. The chapters and verses were added to make reading easier for us in our time to read, remember, study and understand.

So I think it is a matter of time placement. If the new was old first then it would've been placed as the old instead of the new but since first things come first the new is where it is and so is the old. Then you would be asking why was the old placed as the new and not the other way around, right??

God Bless and guide you into His Truth!

Answer 3

There are time gaps between the writing of the different books of the NT and of the OT. The NT did come after the OT and in this sense, it was added at the end of the OT. Muslims claim that the Quran is God's final message to humanity after the messages in the OT and the NT.

Answer 4

Because the people who were inspired through the Holy Spirit
to write the NT weren't alive. There are 400 years of silence
between the NT and OT. There were 40 authors all guided
by the Holy Spirit who is God. The OT was the history of the Jews and they were preparing for the Messiah. The NT is
the Messiah revealed. If you really studied the NT and OT in
the original languages you'd see Jesus Christ everywhere.
Read Ezek. 1:26-28, if you have time.

I usually don't answer questions from atheist but you seem to
be sincere.

Answer 5

God is omnicient. "and you, my son Solomon, renowned the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a prepared innovations, for the LORD searches each coronary heart and is conscious each reason for the innovations. in case you seek for him, he would be got here across via you; yet once you forsake him, he will reject you perpetually. - one million Chronicles 28,9 God is all-powerful or all-useful - one million in the initiating God created the heavens and the earth. 3 And God pronounced, "enable there be gentle," and there replaced into gentle. 4 God observed that the sunshine replaced into good, and He separated the sunshine from the darkness. 5 God called the sunshine "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there replaced into night, and there replaced into morning—the 1st day. - Genesis one million,one million.3 There are different verses which communicate of God's omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience. Peace and advantages!

Answer 6

Let's just say that you write your autobiography at the age of twenty. Day one after writing it, you follow your book exactly. Day three you happen upon an unexpected choice that you have to make. It's not in your book, What do you do?

Due to free will, the choices that all make in the NT, the NT has to be written when it was to take into all the accounts of the people.

The NT was written so that we might use it as a guide for our lives.

Answer 7

God was silent for 400 years. Which basically means no prophets. The Jews don't recognize Jesus. They say chistians are a completely seperate religion. They are looking for a different type of messiah when their own texts call for a son of God. Look at Adam and Eve and King David. they refer to their Messiah as the Son of David. They are still looking for a leader to rebuild the temple in jeruselum. the things they say jesus hasn't done he actually HAS done. the things he has yet to do will be done in the book of Revelations at the end of Days. I have read a book on judism and why they dont' agree with Christians and this what it said about Jesus and I compared it with the bile. It all lines up. I also looked at revelations. Jesus is the temple. he rebuilt himself. The church is not a building it's the people. Jeusus wrote the covenant ont he cross. In the book of revelations, it says that God isthe temple in the new jeruselum. Now the Jews here may not like this but it makes perfect sense. I have no wish to offend them becuse they are polite and lovely people but These are the fact ad God has laid them out for me. I have analyzed them. God sent the Jews and prepared thme but they did not understand His plan forthem to be the ones to go forth into the gentile world to tell the rest of us about Him and how wonderful He is. As for the NT and OT the reason the two are not one is because the Jews don't accept Jesus as a messiah for reasons listed above.

Answer 8

As you say, "the Bible is the truth..." But it is not "Truth". It is as close as human beings, using their brains can come to truth on this physical plane of existence.

The Bible points to the Truth that Christ pointed his disciples to, and they [according to Christ] came up short [in an Absolute sense] of comprehending what Christ offered to them. Truth refers to a level of Reality that does not exist on the physical plane of existence. In order to "see" or "hear" the Truth, one must go within oneself and rise within oneself to levels of consciousness that are normally not experienced by people.

Mystical transport, or Spiritual transport simply means that one has, via deep meditation, withdrawn his/her consciousness from the physical plane, and has entered into the subtle realms that exist within us. To do this, one must overcome a natural fear of the Unknown within oneself. This is rather difficult to do, and is made easier after the doorway has been opened to one by a Perfect Living Master, or Saint. This is part of the work of a Master, and the reason one must find a Master, if one seeks Union with God.

Of course the Ego [supported by ones MIND] believes otherwise. So, one is free to believe whatever feels comfortable... even if ones belief is short of correct.

New Testament

New Covenant

New Will

Christ was written of in the Old Testament

Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Answer 10

The Old Testament was mainly written by the Hebrews while they were enslaved in Babylon. Mostly to unify the religion that they had. (There was no Torah, they all just happened to believe in one god.

The New Testament is basically a whole new religion, but it was added because Judaism was the largest religion of the time.

Answer 11

I would have liked to see Paul write the letters to the Corinthians, Ephesians, etc. before he was born! Maybe it was like that Damon Knight story where the pregnant woman wrote really great books (directed by her child in the womb)...I forget the title of the story.
