Who wrote the bible?

what bible?

the bible.

Your momma!

oh wait.

wrong thread. :(

A lot of people have written it in the same style that kids play the telephone game.

Which version, which language, which chapter.

if catholics , many

if islam... i dunno

check on the discovery channel or the history one i forget which great 12 hour documentary it is real interesting.

The Jews wrote the Old Testament, which is the bible before Jesus. And the apostles of Jesus wrote the gospels of the New Testament, but various other authors also wrote in the New Testament...

so much bible so less time!

some asshole

man, I love discovery

I wrote it when I was ill for 2 days.

TexasDreams

Doesn't suprise me.

It didn't take long but I thought I added some more chapters, just for fun and giggles.

the bible has been re-written SO many times in order to fulfil the needs/wants of the powerful people that the true meaning/value of the bible has been stuffed in a trash bag and beaten with a shovel.

If you want the true bible, read the one writen in ancient hebrew

And what do they say?

Probably the cavemen

Read it. Sure is boring though.

What I call the "New Bible" is much more action packed and fun.

If you ask historians, most will agree it was several people that have contributed to what you now read. Even the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament) was in fact written by at least 4 different people in at least 4 different languages, and then compiled and edited into one fluid text.

The rest of it has been added to, subtracted from, censored, changed, and mistranslated from a series of letters, poems, historical accounts, monarchs, and church authorities over the past 2,000 years.

If you ask Christians, they have no idea who wrote the Bible. Until I was 15 I was told that God wrote it by sending Angels to a man who wrote it. I was also told that gay people sit next to Hitler in Hell and that even though God told the Jews not to eat shellfish, it was okay for me to chow down. Idiots. :2 cents:

Someone who probably also invented crystal meth

Does anyone on GFY really care?

Anyway, which version is the offical version?

A lot of different people did until one king of the romans decided there would be ONE Bible. So they took all of the different stories, or chapters, and pieced together one book.

The end.

Many different contributors. Not sure if they actually know the individuals.
Maybe one good contribution of the bible or religion in general was helping to establish the principle of Universality of Law; basic moral codes that civil societies made into law.

Archiot, the great and all powerful robot God did. He did it in order to test humanity?s faith.

...Humanity failed. =(

When was that?

Its a collection of many writings, chosen by the church what to include in the "official" version

Yes, I agree. There is clear evidence that shows that much of what constitutes The Bible has been heavily edited and re-writen as an act of propogander by the early leaders of the Roman Catholic Church. The only question that remains is why ?

If you only knew the POWA of the dark side...

Here's the list of who wrote who..
I have no doubt the authors ARE who the books say they were nd that they were factual people.... the cotent however has been changed SO much especially by the Catholics in the middle ages.. I don't believe a lot of cotent.

there are MORE books which are OMITTED... because it would DESTROY the current catholi faith:
ESPeCIALLY the gospel of MARY MAGDELENE.. who Jesus chos to lead the christians after he left.. but of course the ctholics wont have a BAR of that - a woman leding thefaith?? no way!!!

WHY????

like u neeed to ask??

it's all about the MONEY..
do you know the catholic church is the BIGGEST owner of private land in the world.. the JEWELS in the vatican and other treasures are priceless.. those guys are sitting on eough wealth to cure all the hunger and give medicine to the sick ... but they will never give it upp!!

thats why they KILLED a previous pop - I believe it ws Dominic.. because he wanted to SELL off the vatican wealth to give to the poor.

Its NOT a religion it's a CAREER... a very excusive boys club.. thts why they omit any gospels which have been found in recent times - becuase THEY never got their hands on them first and it EXPOSES them for who they truly are

Yes, this is one of the most contentious area's of debate between religious historians these days. There's evidence that strongly suggests that Mary Magdelene was so favoured by Jesus Christ because she was A, his sister ( and so carried the same royal bloodline as himself ), and B, Jesus married her, ( the wedding at Canaan was quite clearly his wedding, regardless of what the Bible leads us to belive ), and later she bore his child.

The implications of this if eventualy proved to be true will undoutbly rock the very foundations of the Roman Catholic Church, so maybe there is little wonder they have gone to such lengths to suppress this "heresy" for so long.

Carl Sagan said the jews most likely wrote it to scare the christians, and keep them off there back.

if you get a hance check out the aquarian gospel - it fils in the 20 yers of jesus life hat are missing from the bible.. why? coz jessus went to india and studied with the hindu masters.. ive doe a lot of comparitive study of both hinduism and christianty (ive ready the bible 14 times cover to cover).. everything jesus taught is found in the many volumes of bhagavatam.. the vatican would HATE people to know THAT!!!

Yes it is strange that The Bible seems to miss any information on such a large chunk of Jesus's life. I've been following the research that suggests that JC spent much of his life ( from around age 12 to 30 ), secretly studing ancient esoteric and occult material in Heliopolis in Egypt. Whether he was there or in India he allmost certainly had access to material that very, very few other individuals did.

alienq did...

mine says maryln manson.

man wrote the bible........

holy smokes. that is news to me. thank you for the info.

I guess King James is the most popular version.

man did, thats why its all a fairy tale ...just like the easter bunny and santa clause

If jesus ever returns he will probably be killed by the ATF for being a nutcase, or by a FBI sniper... all those religious fanatics (except bush) get smoked by the law.

Who is King James?

Prob one of your ancestors - tho, maybe not :winkwink:

a poor lonesome monk with the only light to use is the sun and moonlight that cracks between the decaying wall..

Which also supports the findings in the Gospel of Judas, that Christ has a very metaphysical element to his teachings and relationships.

Let's everyone remember that the BIble is essentially a history book. And we all know History has a bias. History is written by the winners. And revised by the next generation.

Why? Power. Money. Girls. The same reason for everything.
