2 Timothy 3:16, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” \n\n“prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” Peter 1:21\n\nA correct view of God will lead one to a correct view of His Word. Because God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and completely perfect, His Word will by its very nature have the same characteristics. The same verses that establish the inspiration of the Scriptures also establish that it is both inerrant and authoritative. Without a doubt the Bible is what it claims to be - the undeniable, authoritative, Word of God to humanity.

Why would a person need a text or tradition to know right from wrong? The golden rule is extant for all of us. Don't do to other what you wouldn't want done to you. Be fair, honest and care for your fellow man. All these things are pretty much universal but sadly overlooked, even by religionists.

I agree that it is out of date, but I don't think that you can just go and arbitrarily change the content.  And by whose standards would it change?\n\nI think that there are many misinterpretations of the bible over the centuries.\n\nI am going to be ordering one that is supposed to be a direct translation from the orginal Aramaic New Testament to see what the difference is.  It is called The Modern New Testament : Translated from the Original Aramaic Sources by G. Lamsa.\n\nHaving said that, I also think that much of the bible directly speaks to that generation's society and political culture and therefore, not a lot of it has to do with how things are in this day and age, although I feel that Jesus taught us timeless lessons of love and acceptance and faith.  \n\nBut I don't believe that Jesus was the only master and that timeless lessons were taught by Mohammed and Buddha and many other masters as well.

Actually, God is the Author of the gospel of Mark. The bible is the Inspired Word of God, written down by human hands for the benefit of mankind.

ok ok the bible as it is now has been arround since at least for 1500 years. But after jesus resurections the diciples use to spread the word by mouth then they wrote the famous letters included in new testaments. The famous dead sea scroll that they found some years ago (1947) came to confirm that the current bible is 100 percent correct.\n\nNow you have the muslims and their incorrect interpretations about bible and jesus, these are their lies to make jesus not the absolut god. \n\nmuslims cant tell about bible, they barerly can tell about quran, where 70% of them dont know what in it.

I couldn't list them all for you if I wanted to. There are more that were rejected than there were that were approved. Everyone that has suggested looking up Apochrypal texts is on the right track. The life of Adam and Eve was a good one from the old testament. The Book of Enoch, The gospels of Mary, and Judas, Peters Revalations. Those are just a few of the interesting ones.

You will find your answer at 2 Peter 1:20,21 - "For you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit."\n\nSo, the Almighty Creator of the Universe, Jehovah God, is the ultimate source of the Bible.

The Supreme Gospel is contained in one verse-John 3:16\nThe main theme of the Bible is salvation .In old testament it was by the law.\nIn new testament it is by grace,through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Great question.  Depends on what you mean by "modern"?\n\nThe original Biblical text was written in mostly classical Hebrew (the OT), with some Aramaic; and Koine Greek for the NT, also with some Aramaic in there.\n\nNone of the original manuscripts have survived, BUT, we have some NT Gospel fragments that are within decades of the originals.  Our oldest copies of Hebrew manuscripts are witin hundreds of years from the originals.\n\nThat said, the textual evidence and support for the Bible surpasses in other ancient "literature" by far.\n\nNow, to the issue of which modern version is best. The answer to that could take pages to answer depending on all kinds of things related to textual criticism.\n\nFor me, I know Greek and Hebrew, I really like these two modern versions best in terms of their reliability and faithfulness to the original languages.\n\n1. The New English Translation (NET Bible). Found at www.bible.org as a FREE download.  Great translator and study notes too.\n\n2. I also like the English Standard Version or ESV. Great translation.  \n\nHope this helps!
