Where does bible came from?

A bible as described by wikipedia is a collection of books. The free dictionary states that a bible is a book that is considered authoritative in the field it was written about. Hence you will find books with bible in their titles like The Bible of French Cooking, the Leiths Cookery Bible and The Silver Spoon, otherwise known as the Bible of Authentic Italian Cooking. (http://journal.homecookingrocks.com/an-early-mothers-day-gift/) Merriam Webster described the ORIGIN of the BIBLE as: "Middle English, from Old French, from Medieval Latin - 'biblia', from Greek, plural of 'biblion' book, diminutive of 'byblos' papyrus, book, from 'Byblos', ancient Phoenician city from which papyrus was exported First Known Use: 14th century" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bible - This link has further links to other resources where you could read more and find out more about it.) But if you are referring to The Holy Bible, the Sacred Scriptures - it is the collection of books successively written as accounts of the people who lived along the time-line before and after the birth of the Saviour Jesus Christ, known to the Christian World and whom the Holy Bible refers to as the Messiah. The Bible as we all know today was a product of the years of toil and intensive efforts of great historians as the Bible Scholars who with the Guidance of the Holy Spirit (or actually what the religious call as "Inspiration of God"), translated the Holy Scrolls. The original Bible was written in three languages namely, the Ancient or Bible Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. The Series of events that were stated in the entirety of the Holy Scriptures involved thousands of years. About 5-7 centuries before Christ, the Language used by the people was mainly Hebrew. As humanity evolved, language evolved too. It was said that around the time of Jesus, the main language was Imperial Aramaic and this is the language that He spoke. This second language was used from about 700-500 B.C. to around 700 A.D. and it is said that the entire NEW TESTAMENT was written in this language. However, the first ever translations made were in Greek or what is called the "Septuagint" and from these transcriptions English translations were derived. (see: http://www.goarch.org.ourfaith/ourfaith7068) In the past, the church do not allow the lay people to read or touch the Holy Bible, restricting it for the use of priests only, not just because it is a sacred book but it actually contains phrases and verses that people may not be able to understand and interpret correctly. But the growing antagonism of a certain few against the church and its teachings made that sound ambiguous, even gathering and enjoining people to believe what they actually believe or purport to be true, creating havoc and confusion to many. Now, even as the church allows the faithful to own and read the bible, still there are those who . Several versions of the Bible came to be when people began to question the veracity of the written word. There were those who gave different meanings to words written and view the transcripts as controversial and debatable and therefore these people who agreed otherwise, contradictorily to what was originally transcribed, created their own versions in their own interpretations. The dogma of their own convictions and beliefs are stated in those versions. This is the same reason why there exist Protestants and from these, a lot of other different religions were born. If you are aware of the game, pass the message where a simple sentence of 5 words could become paragraphs of complications when passed through a hundred people with differing views, this is exactly how the message in the Bible came about to different people with different views. The Holy Bible was written to make known to men the true and only living God. It is also a living testament of what was life before and how people lived during those times and how our Messiah came and lived with mankind -- His triumphs and sufferings to save us all. It is called the "Greatest Monument of all time". I am not a historian nor am I a Bible scholar but I read the Bible and believe that there is only One True God. I don't and won't argue with your faith and belief as yours is as sacred as mine. We humans were given by the one and only true God the intellect, the free will and the right to chose what ever we believe is true whether we are the faithful, Christians and believers and even the atheists or non-believers.

The Bible is a collection of 66 little books written by about 40 different writers. It was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Since it was written in ancient languages, it has been translated into our modern languages. There are different versions because there were different translators. This is what the Bible itself says: 2 Timothy 3:16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)6 God has breathed life into all of Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right. Can it be corrupted? Psalm 12:6-8 Young's Literal Translation (YLT) 6Sayings of Jehovah [are] pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold. 7Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age. 8Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men! Pick up any translation and read for yourself. Forget what anyone else says about it. Read it for yourself and make your own conclusion.

People. It's pretty much just stories that people have written over the years. It can be seen as fictional history. People wrote the Bible to explain their history and to pass down stories that were told to them over the years. It's like the Prose Edda or The Iliad or The Odyssey, or any other mythological book that is out there. To me, Christianity is a like a modern day mythology. The only difference is one is monotheistic and the others were polytheistic. People are told to believe in one God, instead of multiple gods, and people are told to believe the stories of the Bible instead of the ones that have been passed down through plain oral tradition and then written manuscripts. The Bible is just like any other book really. There is no mystery to it. You can take it literally (and sadly, some people do this), or you can take it as modern day historical fiction literature. It's all up to you.

You are comparing apples and oranges...The christian text has nothing to do with the Torah. The christians wrote their own version of a bible and their own gods. The Torah is the story of the Jewish people struggling with the concept of monotheism which is the belief in One Supreme God. The Torah tells of their failings and successes. The Sumerians have many beliefs of the beginnings of creation that coincide with the stories in the Torah. Many ancient peoples have similar stories.. That does not mean that aliens put us here or procreated with us.

The actual place or who founder the bible I don't know but Bible is composed of various books which canonized by authorized people around the world. Yeah it is made by people but inspired by God.. The canonized bible are composed of 66 books inside (from Genesis to Revelation), 39 from Old Testaments book and 27 New Testaments book...

that is the reasons why i don't believe in BIBLE because it has many versions, it simply means that God's instructions are also changeable too, i also don't believe that it is inspired in the making of bible with those Holy Spirit because it has no solid evidence to support such claims.... if it does inspired with the holy spirit, it should never be many versions.... for i know that God will speak only once, it will not change, it doesn't contains plenty of versions.... Bible of Roman Catholics Bible of Catholics but not Roman Bible of Jehovah's Witnesses Bible of Mormon Bible of hehehehe, to many versions of bibles..... as i know, God will not allow religious faith people to select if who's bible is the genuine type of bible and who's bible is a china-made bible or a scam bible....

Introvert shy the history of the bible is a cousre od study all too itself. First most everything is slanted to project a certain view. But there somethings we know to be true. The first patriach to be listed in the bible was Abraham. abraham came along after the pyramids were already old. There have been many who have believed in the christianity origin story like half of the founding fathers. Many things can not be adequately proven as to how they came about. The Naszra lines in Peru , The Ciity of the Gods in Peru, The ancient pyramids in Eygpt and in middle africa. There too many mysteries of life to say we have all the evidence and answers. Im sorry your mother is not giving you all the information. Either she does not know it or is delibertly not divulging it.

The Bible was written by the people in the olden times who were guided by the Holy spirit. As what I know, the original words of the Bible were written in Hebrew, and since not all people in the world can speak and understand Hebrew, the Bible was interpreted into different languages so that all people can understand it in their own language. Take note that not all translations are all the same from the original.

The bible came from God but was penned by a number of men over many years. It is divided into two parts, the old testament and the new testament. Since we live in the Christian dispensation, we fall under the new testament, Matthew through Revelations. Study of the old testament is helpful to understand some passages in the New testament. The King James translation is one of the most reliable available. The New King James version is easier for us to understand, as most of the difficult words and phrases of King James's time have been put into more contemporary English. Nothing has been hidden that man needs to knmow for our salvation.

from God.

The Bible is a written word of God which was written by old testament authors and new testament authors The Old testament was written by the ancestors of Adam and eve From the Genesis then Moses entered into world showing the way as a prophet which was chosen by God There are many more authors in Old testament who wrote Bible and together the Old testament was created. The New testament is created by the disciples of Jesus which Jesus showed them the truth and the way of life and according to their testimonies and experience with Jesus the New testament was created and also after the resurrection of Jesus Paul Stephen saints were involved in writing of the testimonies and teachings so this was how bible was created.

According to me Jesus was a good teacher who taught many good things to the Hebrews. After his crucification it is said that a group of saints who were his followers got him back to life through bible. They must have wrote Bible from areas around Jerusalem and then they went on to spread the word around the world. Bible is a good spiritual and religious holy book, but back in those times Bible was used to create a strong community and in religious politics.
