WHO WROTE AND GAVE US THE BIBLE?
We’re told never to question the Bible, but who wrote the Bible? Do you know if it was thrust down upon us from the skies' divine inspiration. Now, let's talk about the authority of these scriptures called the Bible. A lot of people don’t know how we got the Bible at all. We got the Bible through the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church and members of the church wrote the books of the New Testament and they took over the books of the Old Testament which even by the time of Jesus had not been finally decided upon by the Jews. They did not close the canon of the Old Testament until the year 100 AD at the synod of Jamnia, and then they finally decided which were the canonical books of the Hebrew Scriptures and embodied them. The books to be included in the New Testament were not finally decided upon until year 382 AD at the synod of Rome under pope Damasus, so it was the Catholic Church that promulgated the Bible this is what they said: we are giving you these scriptures on our authority and by the authority of the informal tradition that has existed among us from the beginning inspired by the Holy Spirit. So you receive, historically, the Bible from Roman Catholic Church and Catholic Church insists that the church, collectively speaking under the presumed guidance of the Holy Spirit, has the authority to interpret the Bible and you take that or leave it. Obviously the authority of the Bible is not based on the Bible itself, I can write a Bible and state within that book that it is indeed the word of God which I have received, and you’re at liberty to believe me or not. Hindus believe that the Vedas are divinely revealed and inspired with just as much inspired as any Christian or any Jew.
Muslim believe that the Quran is divinely inspired, and some Buddhist believe that their sutras are also of divine or a Buddha origin, the Japanese belief that the ancient texts of Shinto are like wise of divine origin, and who is to be judge if we going to argue about not, as to which one is correct. We will always end up in an argument in which the judge and the advocate are the same person, and you wouldn’t want that if you are brought to the court of law.
If you are a Christian, you will say well Jesus Christ is the greatest being who ever came onto this earth, by what standards do you judge obviously, you judge by moral standards that have been given to you as somebody brought up in a Christian culture there is nobody impartial who can decide between all the religions because more or less everyone has been in one way or another influenced by one of them so the church says the Bible is true it finally comes down to you are you going to believe the church?
For many Christians, questioning the Bible and its authority is not an option, but ask yourself, how many are the books you read without curiosity about the author? If the Catholic Church, an institution known for covering up atrocities committed against children, brought us the Bible, which then got translated multiple times, could there be some manufactured or borrowed stories in the Bible. Is everything really as it seems, could some words have been lost in translation, is man not capable of errors.
