What Is The Bible? by Chuukwudi(m): 6:45pm On Jul 19, 2017
Anyone who knows the history and origin of the Bible should elucidate me a little. Is the Scripture different from the Bible?

Is the Bible true and free from errors?

Where some parts of it exaggerated.

Who took it upon himself to decide which of the written books should be included in the Bible compilation & and which one of them shouldn't?

Who handled such a responsibility, and decided which part of the torah, messages and gospels to compile?
Where they humans? Where they biased ?

Some contrary accounts existing independently about a particular biblical happening, why were they?

the scriptures are written letters... the bible is a collection of several letters.. we have Jewish bible.. Christian bible(the one you see nowadays).. Catholic bible.. etc


Is the Bible true and free from errors?
if the Bible is true.. i can't answer that question for sure.. it depends on what you take the message of the bible to be... different books have different messages.. both the ones in and out of the Bible


Where some parts of it exaggerated.
please expatiate... i don't quite get you here

i don't know much about the Torah.. its probably the same system used for the entire Christian Canon.. different groups of people or councils decided on what books to be included.... some books were initially accepted then later rejected e.g book of enoch.. some were initially rejected and later accepted e.g revelations.. some books were accepted by some councils and rejected by others... i think the Apocrypha falls under this category

Where they humans? Where they biased ?
of course they were humans.. biased? i can't say much there

psuedograpical letters were also written... pseudographies seem to tell a story on something but when criticized or put up against certain factors

Here, I meant... If some things were modified to suit the desires of a specific group of people and not as raw and original as it was at the very beginning.

Thank you Wilgrea7
