Was the New Testament part of the orginial part of the bible or was added later?

The New Testament books were all written after Christ's resurrection. It is a separate testament from the Old Testament. We can see looking back all the many hints given in the Old Testament of a new and better testament to come, but hind sight is 20 20, as it was in large part hidden from the people living in the time of the Old Testament. All of the books of the Old Testament were written 400 years before Christ and earlier. The New Testament, as the Old Testament are both completely inspired by God.


How many books does the Old Testament Comprise Of?

A:Probably a minority of Christians and Jews would say that all the books of the Old Testament were inspired by God. Some Jews would certainly say the Torah (Pentateuch) was, but perhaps reserve judgement on some of the other books. At the other end of the spectrum would be those who believe that the authors might have been inspired in a spiritual sense, but not guided or inspired by God. If the books of the Old Testament are the very word of God, we can expect no doublets, no scientific or historical errors and no contradictions anywhere in the entire Old Testament. Moreover, none of the Old Testament should be found to have close parallels to earlier Egyptian or Mesopotamian texts. Since there are indeed many doublets, errors and contradictions, and there are passages that do appear to have been derived from earlier pagan teachings, then the Old Testament is not the word of God in a literal sense. In the usual meaning of the term, none of the Old Testament books were inspired by God.


Is the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament considered inspired?

AnswerWhether or not the Old Testament should be considrered divinely inspired depends on its authorship, not its translation. If one believes that the original books were inspired, they remain so, regardless of the subsequent translations of those books.However, the Septuagint (LXX) was gradually improved over a period of time. In the first and second centuries CE there were more literal renderings, revising the LXX, sometimes almost to the point of constituting new translations. Depending on what we mean by 'inspired', this could be evidence that the LXX used by the New Testament authors was not inspired.


How many books are in Old Testaments?

Catholics believe there are 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. Most Protestant faiths claim there are only 39 inspired books in the Old Testament but agree that there are 27 in the New Testament. The extra seven books in the Catholic versions of the Bible are called the Deutero-canonicals and include the books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, and 1st and 2nd Maccabees. Some Protestant versions of the Bible also include these seven books but they are not considered to be inspired by God and are generally called the Apocryphal Books.


Why isn't God's words written in red in the Old Testament?

Bibles, called "Red Letter Editions" feature the words of Jesus Christ in red. Jesus only appears in the New Testament, that is why there is no red in the Old Testament. Truly every word of the Holy Bible is inspired by God, and the lack of red in no way diminishes the importance of the Old Testament.
