Summary Of The Holy Bible

 

To better understand the Holy Bible it must be broken down into usable information. I am just a simple layman and to me knowledge is a wonderful gift if it is given freely in a form that others or I can understand. So with that in mind I will try to take the information that I have read or learned over many years and put it into more simpler and usable terms. If in my lifetime I am only able to guide but one person into the light of God then I will have been justified in my mission to create this website.

 

First off we should always referred to the Holy Bible as the ‘Holy Bible’, this is due to the translation of the word bible. Bible is a Greek word meaning little books or in layman terms a collection of little books. With that in mind a person with an annual collection of magazines would have in fact an annual bible and could refer to it as the bible.

 

There are many versions of the Holy Bible to include many recent ones that are trying to completely change the word of God and the teachings of Christ to fit their lifestyle or to change gender of God from masculine to feminine. The original Old Testaments the Hebrew Tanakh from which all others have translated their works refers to God in a masculine form. Even the teaching of Christ teaches and constantly refers to God as the Father. Of course as humans we will always try to challenge the word of God or God’s authority. Remember Adam & Eve, challenged God’s authority just one time and they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden, be careful, be very careful of how you challenge God’s words or try to change them to meet your lifestyle.

The New Testament was complete by 95AD. The number of books and chapters between the Catholic and Protestant are the same the only difference comes in the translations. The New Testament was originally written in Greek and translated to English for the King James’ version and the Catholic’ version was translated from Greek to Latin. There are some changes in the final wording on certain areas such as the disposition of Mary after the birth of Jesus and the positioning of the Church in Christian Laws.

 

The changes are so minor, between both versions, in the overall context of the New Testament that it doesn’t’ warrant any prolonged discussion. The fact is; both teach the word of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit and are more identical to each other than any other written works ever created by man. It is only in the Old Testaments that you will see any major changes with the addition of 7 books that are not in the King James version.
