Why do Catholic and a Christian claim that Bible specifically "New Testament" is word of Jesus Christ when it was made by after his death?

Question

Is the Bible really the word of God?

Then how come it was written by more then thousands of different author's?

How come the Bible pages are so heavily edited, then pages doctrines, history, miracles and scientific studies.

Are edited erased then they add new discoveries and invention into Bible every century in new bible book?

Forget is this book from God if a book is edited, text erased then they add new inventions, histories, scientific stories then.

How come a book that is that heavily edited and pages erased and added new information be trusted source.

Let alone be word of God or Jesus literal words?

Answer 1

What you really know about the Bible can fit into your eye, and never be noticed by you, it is so small.

Answer 2

Th ratification of the New Testament is suggested in Matthew 26:28.

Answer 3

I bet there are 500 books in print that would answer that

Answer 4

We need to examine the first three Gospels, the Synoptics, for just six facts-facts



FACT 1: There was a man called Jesus.

FACT 2: He claimed to be a messenger sent by God.

FACT 3: He did enough to prove that He was such a messenger.

FACT 4: Crowds followed Christ. But He had an inner circle to whom He spoke more intimately. This is merely what we would expect.

FACT 5: He told His followers to continue His teaching.

FACT 6: Jesus gave the message that God would protect that teaching: "He who hears you hears me; he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me" (Luke 10:16).



In summary then, we see a group that is commissioned to teach by a messenger sent by God, and promised God's protection for that teaching. These observations are made without treating the Scriptures as inspired. Now we not only intellectually may but are intellectually driven to believe what the body teaches.

Answer 5

Who is the Author of the Bible ?



The good news that people will live forever on earth is written in the Bible. (Psalm 37:29)

The Bible is made up of 66 smaller books. God used about 40 faithful men to write them.

The first five books were written by Moses about 3,500 years ago.

The last book was written by the apostle John over 1,900 years ago.

Whose ideas did Bible writers present ?

God communicated with the Bible writers by means of his holy spirit. (2 Samuel23:2)

They wrote down the thoughts of God, not their own thoughts.

So Jehovah is the Author of the Bible .

Read 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21.

Answer 6

Why do Catholic and a Christian claim that Bible specifically "New Testament" is word of Jesus Christ when it was made by after his death?



- Fundies claim a lot of absurd things.

Answer 7

The Bible was written by the Holy Spirit.



CATHOLIC IS NOT CHRISTIAN.



Catholicism and orthodox are not Christian. Jesus is not in catholicism or orthodox. Reading the Bible proves to us that catholicism and orthodox are lies.. Catholicism and orthodox teach works for salvation, which leads to eternal torment in the lake of fire (Galatians 1:6-9). Catholicism and orthodox didn't even exist for over 300 years after the Bible was complete and compiled. So avoid catholicism and orthodox, get away from them both

.

Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death.

Answer 8

Proper examination proves it to be God's word.



It is not wise to judge without proper examination...neither to make so many errors in your criticism.



You make yourself look empty, to say the least.

Answer 9

Childhood brainwashing works.

Answer 10

Catholics are Christians

Answer 11

The Bible is a record of God's dealings with men. It was written over time, as God dealt in time with them. The Hebrew Scriptures (the "Old Testament") was completed and well-known by the time of Jesus. As history would have it, the scriptures were written on perishable scrolls that had to be hand-copied, meticulously, to preserve them.



Now, at the time of Jesus, no one followed him around with a recording device and a note-pad. It didn't really occur to them that Jesus would be going away, much less for an extended time. After a while, they concluded that they needed to write what they knew. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all wrote what can be called their memoirs. They had a purpose to what they wrote, and didn't all just parrot the same things. The letters of Paul were just that -- his personal correspondence, primarily to individual churches, with both a pastoral and doctrinal intent. But none of these was written as a systematic theology tome -- they were memories, letters, with the theology embedded in them, theology that the readers would already know.



As to "copied stories"... wouldn't you expect such widely known history to appear in multiple places? Who says that for something to be true it must appear in only one culture or one language.



Forgive me.

/Orthodox (Christian, and Catholic, but not Roman Catholic)



@Chris, who has me blocked. Orthodox Christians certainly are Christian. We recite with complete faith the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed -- "I believe in One God, the Father... and in One Lord Jesus Christ, [who is] God from God.. of the Virgin Mary... man. He was crucified..suffered... died. He rose on the third day...ascended into heaven... He will come again ... to judge the living and the dead ...And in the Holy Spirit...worshiped with the Father and the Son...



If that's not Christian, I don't know what is. Please stop your false witness.

Answer 12

What is word it is like a book at the start word at the end word everything in between word. The words create it all bring the book to life make you a part of it . The words draw a picture of what it is about. In a book the words are everything and everything is words numbers sound light colors smell sound rain lightning energy all of it is words. "God is word" and the son the word made flesh. Two but one the word and the word of the flesh are both word one solid other invisible. All word is God as all flesh is the son. For the father and the son are the beginning and end of all things.

Answer 13

For your interests...







"In fact, the New Testament makes plain that the prophecies of the Messiah were not so much revealed by the Old Testament as they were hidden there. This is why Paul writes that the New Covenant was "veiled" until the gospel took away the veil (2 Cor 3:14). It is also why he declares the gospel was " notmade known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets" (Eph 3:5). Paul insists the deepest meaning of the Old Testament was seen only after the advent of Christ."



"For instance, Hebrews 2:13 quotes Isaiah 8:18: "Here I am, and the children God has given me." In its original context, Isaiah is speaking about his own disciples with no hint of messianic intent behind these words. Yet the author of Hebrews sees Christ, not Isaiah, fulfilling the text anyway. Why? Because Christ and his Church are, most fully, what Isaiah and his disciples were foreshadowing..."

Answer 14

The New Testament texts were written by men who knew Him personally, and live in daily contact with Him for three years. There are only 5 authors in the New Testament, and about a dozen in the Old Testament. This historical record provides far more information than we have for any other historical person of 2,000 years ago.

Answer 15

1) Why do Catholic and a Christian claim that Bible specifically "New Testament" is word of Jesus Christ when it was made by after his death?



They believe that the Bible is the "word of God"

and that it is so because the authors were inspired by God to write what they wrote

and

they believe that Jesus is God.





2) Is the Bible really the word of God?



See 1) This is a religious doctrine, a belief, not something that can be easily proved or disproved conclusively.





3) Then how come it was written by more then thousands of different author's?



To call that an exaggeration would be an understatement.

Probably in the most extreme case imaginable one hundred people were involved in the authoring and revision of the New Testament documents (as we have them and know them now). Much more likely there were less than 30 people involved.





4) How come the Bible pages are so heavily edited, then pages doctrines, history, miracles and scientific studies.



The question is literally nonsense.

Please ask again using correct grammar and vocabulary.





5) Are edited erased then they add new discoveries and invention into Bible every century in new bible book?



Ditto.





6) Forget is this book from God if a book is edited, text erased then they add new inventions, histories, scientific stories then.



That is quite easy to forget.





7) How come a book that is that heavily edited and pages erased and added new information be trusted source.



The question is literally nonsense.

Please ask again using correct grammar and vocabulary.





8) Update: Then why was the oldest bible "Old Testament" was created several years after Jesus's death..



That is not the "oldest Bible"

and

it was created after Jesus' death

by Christians

because Christians became very concerned about which documents were authentic and which were not after Jesus' death.





9) How could they had known what he said 100% in unmatched reliable accuracy of what Jesus said in his entire lifetime.



They could have known if they were there.





10) Let alone claiming "New Testament" is the literal word of Jesus Christ or God himself which many Christians and Catholics believe?

Update 2: if "NT" is the word of Jesus then answer this?

Why was "New Testament" made after Jesus's death but it was made by the very Roman Catholic. Who converted from their old religion Paganism to Christianity.



? The question is once again nonsensical.





11) So couldn't anyone would've guessed that would've borrowed some of ritual's, prayers, doctrines and beliefs from their old religion



Yes

but

there is no evidence of such in the Bible

so why would something that you only IMAGINE COULD be done be something that you might ASSUME WAS done?





12) Update 3: And then rewrite it again and again until their old belief's and doctrine's from pagan didn't match into their new religion.



Again: there is no evidence of such to be found in the New Testament.





13) And holiday's like Easter, Halloween, thanksgiving has been originally pagan holiday's



Simply not true.

See: the definitions of those words in any standard English dictionary.

Excepting ***perhaps*** Halloween, they are by definition Christian holidays and reasonably could not possibly have been originally pagan. For example: how many pagans were celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ before Christians began doing so? How many pagans were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ before Christians began doing so? Clearly these holidays are Christian ***in origin***.



14) and Churches and Popes had to write the book and earse pagan past and then rewrite them then only it was accepted as Christian holiday. Seems very biased why?



It seems like nonsense again.





15) Update 4: How is possible that creation story of 7 days of the world in Bible



Because someone included it.





16) why is it a copy of "Sumerians"?



It's not. If you think that it is all you have to do is compare the Sumerian creation myth with the Biblical creation myth. CLEARLY neither is a copy of the other.





17) And why is " Noah the Ark Food story" why is copied off "Epic of Gilgamesh flood story".



Ditto.

CLEARLY neither is a copy of the other.





18) And Virgin Mary birth story why did Greek mythology.

Is that Jesus mother was virgin sounds so similar to Greek mythology.



Well..maybe to someone it also sounds familiar to "Harry Potter". That doesn't mean that it is a copy of Harry Potter...or vice-versa. Your personal opinion is not really relevant as evidence in support of your case.





19) Update 5: And last but not least why does so many people like Mithra, Horus, Krishna and many others also have virgin birth stories and fulfilling prophecies, making extraordinary mircales and so on?



These stories are not all as you imagine. For example: Krishna in the oldest (pre-Christian) tales was not born of a virgin.

But even if we imagine that it were so

and that there were many stories of virgin births of deities before the story of Christ's birth

that does not mean that the others are true or not true

and that does not mean that the story of Christ's virgin birth is true or not true.





20) Update 6: Then why did it needed to be edited some pages, old traditions like killing entire race of people's or groups that were seen as sinner's or enemies of Christians were killed off?



Again: your personal opinion is simply not persuasive.





21) Update 7: And the old beliefs by bad weather are caused by witches such as crop failures, and sickness and diseases whenever it happened they blamed on witches and executed them.And people with a mental illnesses for long time in human history were seen as demon possession.We know so much today then our ancestors before thanks to science the same science that was claimed as evil once.



Both true and not relevant to the truth of the New Testament.





22) Update 8: Isn't religion man made if Jesus word's was written by more then thousands of different religious people from ancient tines till today?



Not necessarily.

But of course there haven't been thousands of different religious people doing so

so the point is moot.





23) y is Bible pages edited deleted and then reformed to modern standards ever century if it's the word of But.



Again: your personal opinion is simply not persuasive.

Answer 16

If all you have is human logic then your points are valid.



If there's a God who has the power to direct men to write as He wishes, then your logic is futile.



Irrespective, to try to argue that the words were written by lots of men over a long period means that those words can't be God's words, is frankly illogical and desperate!

Answer 17

Those are only the Catholic Bibles only, including the KJB Ordered by the "Catholic only" King James to try and stop people from reading one of the already 5 honest versions of the Bible out! It, KJB, has over 36,000 words added, removed, or ordered changed to very different words by King James!



Use honest translations like the NIV Bible and NLT Bible that are Correct!

Answer 18

It was written by MEN and the Christians simply make up stories about it1

Answer 19

Their claim is that it records what he said, by people who were there or who reported what he said to others, who then recorded it.



As a historian, I have to say that's not an unfair claim. Plenty of biographies have been published after their subjects' deaths. However, it's true that the Bible as we have it today is the project of much editing, interpolation, tweaking, and additions, starting in the earliest years after Jesus's purported death.



By the way, Catholics are Christians. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply ignorant, obtuse, or bigoted.
