Bart Ehrman went back to the beginning of the Bible which were manuscripts written by scribbles in Hebrew and Greek of the original copies. This brings us to the closest times to the originals. And they confirm the copies were authentic.

Hmmm...The above simply validates my mantra.

"The Bible" was compiled in the first half of the second millennium AD...Based in some small way, on early scribblings, that were based in another small way on earlier hand me down folk tales and myths...Folk tales and myths that are not directly attributable to any of Jesus's contemporaries...Rather, latterly attributed.

I didn't need Bart to confirm this for me.

No, the Bible was compiled in the first millennium AD, not the second. Even the Quran which came later was compiled in the first millennium , specifically in the 7 century CE. Get your facts right.

Nope, factually speaking "The Bible" is a second millennium Mid-European compilation based upon earlier compilations.

And for sure the Islamic derivative based upon Judaic historical tales (primarily the mountain man tale) was thought up in the early part of the first millennium...Such was the necessity to challenge the growth of burgeoning Judeo-Christian theo-political empiric aspirations...All based upon older regional tribal divisions.

Nonetheless Islam too as factionalised and the Quran has has been modified.

The origins of the Bible are based on Judaism. judaism was a religion during the second millennium BCE in the kingdom of Israel and Judah. Christianity grew out of first century Judaism and the two religions separated over time. Christianity began in the first millennium BCE.

And Judaism is based upon the naive magic man stories that preceded it, all the way back too whenever intellectually developing primate first considered it's earthly condition.

The world’s two major religions Islam and Christianity developed its roots from Judaism. The Hebrew Bible.

I know.

And I also know that "The Bible" is a European adaptation and compilation of earlier retold Jewish folk tales and locational data, that also incorporates a lot of fantasy embellishment...A mythology in other words.

The Hebrew book sometimes Referred to as the Torah or Pentateuch is therefore similarly mythological...Often attributed to Moses...Though most Jewish scholars agree that it was probably compiled at least 500 years after Moses...So rather like "The Bible", made up and compiled somewhat later from hand me down tales.

And for sure, Muhammad et al, compiled their own Book a bit later on.

The Europeans had nothing to do with the stories in the Bible. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the Gospels in the New Testament were written by the 4 disciples of Jesus who were also Jews.

Nope...I keep having to remind you that "The Bible" was European and that there is no evidence to prove that the 4 disciples wrote anything...In fact most scholarly opinion suggests that they didn't.

And the old testament was copied from the earlier Judaic book of naive supposition.

The Bible was written by ancient Jewish authors in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.long before it became popular in Europe. The European scholars translated the original text into Latin and local languages then came the printing press which made it possible to mass produce the Bible in other languages.

Ah, we're getting somewhere...At least you've dropped the silly idea that J's disciples wrote the bible.

And for sure, for as long as people have been scribbling things down, then everything that they might have scribbled down is factually accurate...LOL...Nope just a smile.

Notwithstanding "The Bible" was compiled over a thousand years later....Unexaggerated accuracy indeed.

The Bible was translated centuries later into other languages .

1522 Martin Luther published the New Testament in German.

1526 William Tyndale printed the first New Testament directly from original Greek and Hebrew.

1611 The King James Version was published becoming the landmark English translation.

jesus during his time was quoting from the Hebrew Bible and the disciples wrote the Gospels to cover the life and mission of Jesus shortly after he was crucified. The Romans in 379AD made Christianity the religion of the state under Constantine.
