Most of the bible texts are transcripts. Some by hearsay, from prayers, and preachers.
The tradition of science which tries to answer this questions, parts of, is found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_criticism.
The latin word for it is exegesis. Latin was the language of the perpetrators, the romans.
It is known they destroyed everything related to jesus, so even the new testament can't be dated precisely.
The old testament, its origin is the talmud, and it contains the heritage of the hebrews.
you should ask someone of them, a rabbi, about the origins of the talmud.
but be careful, they are known to be very, very harsh.

The Holy Bible is written by men inspired by God and diligently followed by illumined people!
you wrong.. bible was written by men who drugged-out ...
You don't know the half of it...

Quote
A number of ethnomycologists, including Terence McKenna, have suggested that most characteristics of manna are similar to that of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms...
If you read the description of manna in the bible... it sounds just like magic mushrooms... sprouts overnight, when its humid... looks like a small loaf of bread, the color of coriander seed... when the sun hits it, it shrivels up... causes 'visions'... Moses talks to God in the form of a 'burning bush' that doesn't get consumed by the fire (and nobody else can see)...
The Holy Bible is written by men inspired by God and diligently followed by illumined people!

I always wondered about the historical roots of the books in the Bible.
Who wrote the books of the Bible? When were they written? Why someone wrote them?
Were they inspired by God?

i understand that bible was written by many people..
Well no one is lazy. They want a fight? They will have one.
What? no one is lazy?!?
Have you... met... ... people?
I made the necessary corrections. It was meant to say not all people. Which is one of the things religious people are counting on, I believe.
Good point...
Christianity is the laziest of all the religions
The only requirement is to believe Jesus will save you... That's it... You don't even need to know anything about Jesus...
Christianity does not care if you were a murderer before you got saved...
Christianity does not care if you were a murderer after you got saved...
(Catholics might want you to confess, but God will still let you into heaven)
You aren't required to read the Bible or go to church to be a Christian...
You are not required to help the poor or anything nice...
Sooooo lazy

it is so complicated to understand who wrote this book because we have too many options for this..
Well no one is lazy. They want a fight? They will have one.

Well not all are that lazy. They want a fight? They will have one.

This just tiring. This must be the strategy of religious people. To make others so tired that they just give up.
I think their strategy was to make the bible so long and boring that nobody would actually read the damn thing

There is no clear authorship of the bible but I think its Jesus' disciples because they were one of the first who heard the word of God.

i think a person who was living in a delusional life and had schizophrenic mindset wrote the work of fantastic fiction.. when i read this , i made up my mind like that..
The Bible is not one book like a novel and written by a single or collection of authors, it is actually a compilation of actual facts. I believe the followers of Jesus contributed to write Bible.
there are lots of it aren't factual. the parables like the prodigal son i think isn't real but they jsut add the story there to set an example about the lost sheep.

You have a very loose definition of the word, fact...
How many times does the word unicorn or dragon appear in the bible? Are you saying these mythological creatures are factual?
snake with 7 heads as well.
The Bible is a book. Nothing more. Written by people. A collection of stories. That's it. Enough with the talking. Prove beyond reasonable doubt that it's real.

Many men wrote the bible.
The bible is a collection of many stories handed down over thousands of years by mouth before ever written down. People changed the stories over the years to make them sound more magical or to make the point seem more important, many stories were condensed. Also entire books were edited or completely left out. All have been re-written over and over again for hundreds of years by many different people who either changed to make it more updated or to translate into other languages. The translations are not all exactly the same.It does, however, have literally hundreds of contradictions.Also if you know languages, you can compare the different translations to see the contradictions there also

Yes, many men wrote the bible and as of now there are many translations but it doesn't really give the sense or true message because there are words that was changed. So for me, King James Version is the most reliable version of bible.
King james is just very recent maybe around 1611 years After Christ. God knows what they've changed. New testament should have been back when few disciples were still alive. i believe Paul reached Asia to spread the word..
Yeah, Apostle Paul reached Asia, and base on my research King James Version is much closer to the translation of the original context of the bible. Because King James got the most intelligent scholars that time to translate the original bible.
