Where did the words 'Holy Bible' come from?

Answer 1

Holy Bible The word Greek Bible, in plural, copmes from the Greek B�blos or B�blion. It means "roll" or "book." B�blion, in the plural nominative case, assumes the form Bible, meaning "books." In the medieval Latin, bibl�a is used as a singular word - a colection of books or The Bible." It was San Jer�nimo, translator of the Vulgata Latina, that called the first group of books of the Old Testament and New Testament of "Divine Library." The Bible is,in fact the reality a collection of classified books, considered by the several Christian religions Divinely inspired. It is a synonym of "Sacred Writings" and "Word of God." That�s where the word Holy comes along. Biblios was the name of the city where the first known libraries were. Helio means sun, Helios was a sun god of ancient Greece (two different things).

Thus, it simply means Sun Book. Nothing more. BTW, Jesus is a personification of the sun thus he is a sun god.

== == The word Holy does no have its etymology on the word Halos, which really means Sun. It comes from the old English word "hālig", meaning "sacred, pious". Also, the Sun is never mentioned in the Bible as a "god" - so it would be incoherent to have the the Holy Bible referenced to the Sun God (the sun is believed to be a god in religions other than the Christianity). The word Holy is not a real addition to the Bible name (you can have other examples, for instance Sacred Bible), so that the word Sacred would have to also mean "sun" for the above explanation to be true. It�s only a referenced to the believed holiness of God. Well the bible does mention that the Sun is a God! look up Psalm 84:11 and it says "For the Lord God is a Sun and a Shield"

Answer 2

The words came from God.

This is incorrect: The words didn't come from a god. English is a modern language, and as such, is man-made. Now the word origins come from other ancient sources such as Latin and Greek. These languages are also not the oldest languages and thus, the words, 'Holy Bible' doesn't appear any where in the many versions of the Bible we have today.

"Holy" has ancient origins predating Old English and is related to words dealing with Light, such as Helios. Helios, references the sun in Greek. Bible is from Biblia which is Latin for book. Essentially, it's a Sun book. Holy is believed a sacred word which makes sense as the Sun was considered a very sacred object to be revered.

It can also be called, The Book of Light. Antagonists against this etymological origin fail to grasp how words and concepts are borrowed from older times. We can't start at Old English and claim that there is no relationship between Helios and Holy. Halo, is also etymologically linked to Helios, The Sun.
