Where did The Bible come from?

Answer 1

Much copying of the inspired Hebrew Scriptures was done from Ezra's time forward. Beginning in the first century of the Common Era, The Bible was copied and recopied by the early Christians and was used in witnessing concerning Jehovah's purposes with regard to His Christ throughout the length and breadth of the then known world. When printing from movable type became common (from the 15th century onward), further impetus was given to multiplying and distributing copies of the Bible. Much translation as well as printing was undertaken by private groups in the 16th and 17th centuries. As early as 1800, the Bible had appeared in whole or in part in 71 languages.

Greater momentum was given this work in the 19th and 20th centuries, when newly formed Bible societies began to take a hand in the gigantic task of distributing the Bible. One of the earliest of these Bible societies was the British and Foreign Bible Society, which was organized in London in 1804. The organizing of this Bible society triggered the establishment of many more such societies

With so many Bible societies operating, the work of spreading the Bible flourished. By the year 1900, the Bible had appeared in whole or in part in 567 languages, and by 1928, in 856 languages. By 1938 the thousand mark was passed, and now the Bible is available in more than 1,900 languages.

The Bible was written by several men who were guided by God to write what they wrote.

2 Peter 1:21: "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

2 Timothy 3:16: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"

The books range in age from about 1520 B.C. to about 96 A.D. Each new author would write his book independently from the authors, but they were eventually brought together and compiled to form the Bible that we know today.
The Bible came from may different men, all inspired by the Holy Spirt to write letters or books which later were made into the Bible.
The bible is written by man but inspired by the Spirit of God.

Answer 2

1) it's "come from" 2) All of Jesus's disciples wrote true stories in it about Jesus's life. The first part, The Old Testament, tells the story about how the enslaved hebrews found the country of Israel. There is also revalations, which are theories about what will happen in the future such as the anti-christ and the second coming of Jesus. His disciples were all murdered because they wrote this ( I don't know why it angered them so much, people were so short tempered back then).

If you are a theist, then you'll suggest the Bible was dictated by your god to a prophet or prophets, yet the truth is much more plausible.

The Bible is simply a collection of parables and fables which were written over many centuries, by many different authors, and which were brought together to support the viewpoint of the organising council, through heavy redaction and deliberate omission.

Answer 3

The bible is the Christian holy book and contains two different testament's the first is old bible stories which were written about the times before Jesus was born and the New Testament is all about Jesus' life and contains the accounts written by four of Jesus' disciple's Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.

Answer 4

A:The Hebrew Bible, on which the Christian Old Testament is based, was written by various religious leaders and scribes, mainly in Jerusalem and over a period of several centuries before the common era. The Torah, known to Christians as the Pentateuch, is usually credited to Moses, writing around 1400 BCE, but biblical scholars say that it was written several centuries later by a number of anonymous authors.

The Council of Jamnia, meeting around 96 CE, is generally credited with defining the books to be included in the Hebrew Bible. The Protestant Christian Old Testament includes the same books as the Hebrew Bible, or Tanach. The Catholic and Orthodox Christian Old Testaments are based on unofficial Jewish traditions that existed prior to 96 CE and include additional books as well as additions to certain books in the Jewish canon.

Answer 5

The Bible was written by about 40 men in about 1600 years--dating from 1500 B.C. to about A.D. 100. These men wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

The Old Testament part of the Bible is basically the Hebrew scriptures. There was some debate about what books should be included but by AD250 most people agreed on the Old Testament canon.

For the New Testament, the process of the recognition and collection began in the first centuries of the Christian church. By AD170 the first canon was agreed on around AD 393 the books to be in the New Testament were agreed on

Answer 6

The Bible was written over a period of 1,000 years, from the time of Moses to the first century A.D. The Bible is divided into two main divisions the Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Old Testament consists of 39 books. These are books written by Jewish leaders and prophets about the history of mankind and the nation of Israel. These books are books that were recognised by the Jews as scripture/ sacred writing and have been preserved over the years.

The New Testament consists of 27 books. These are mostly letters written to believers in the young Christian Church. One book is historical narrative and one book is prophecy. These have been translated from Greek manuscripts that have been preserved by various people over the years.

Church leaders have agreed on what books should be included in the Bible so that the books in the Bible today are considered by most Christians as sacred writing, the word of God.

Answer 7

The Bible is made up of 66 different books ranging from creation of the world to the return of Jesus Crist. The Bible was writen by God through many of His annointed people.

Answer 8

Well, the entire Bible was written by holy men of God that God moved to pen the words. However, man divided the Bible into books and verses.
