#History_ of Bible _Writings
Bible has been written and re-written several times over a period of many centuries. (This information has been derived from the books and encyclopedias).
3300 years ago the absolute original Torah must have been in Hebrew language which is a sister language of Arabic. But it was reduced to writing some 200 years after Moses. 2000 years ago the absolute original Gospel must have been in Aramaic language which was also sister language of Arabic. But it was reduced to writing some forty to eighty years after Jesus. 200 years after Moses, the Torah was first reduced to writing. In it were included the Ten Commandments, Songs, some prophetic sayings of Prophet Jacob and Moses and some legislative religious text. Then Royal Jewish writers kept on adding. 300 years after Moses, YAHVISTIC version of Bible appeared. 350 years after Moses ELOHISTIC version of Bible appeared. 500 years after Moses the Books of Amos, Hosea Michah and Deuteronomy were added to YAHVISTIC version of Bible (Torah) 580 years after Moses a SECER-DOTAL version also appeared. Now there were three parallel versions.700 years after Moses-amalgamation of YAHVISTIC,ELOHISTIC and SECER-DOTAL versions took place. 725 years after Moses, Book of LAMENTATIONS was added. 750 years after Moses, Books of ZEPHANIAH, NAHUM, HAGGI, ZECHARIA, ISAIAH, MALACHI and DANIEL were added. 820 years after Moses, Book of PROVERBS was added. 850 years after Moses, Book of JOB was added. 1000 years after Moses, Jewish scholars of Alexandria decided to rewrite the text of Torah out of the existing various texts in one language-Greek.Seventy scholars rewrote it therefore this version is known in history as SEPTUA-GINT.
1000 years after Moses, Book of ECCLESIASTES was added. 1100 years after Moses, Books of CHRONICLES, EZRA and NAHEMIAH were added. 1300 years after Prophet Moses came Prophet Jesus. 15 A.D, 23 Books of Paul and of other writers appeared though Paul and those others who wrote the Epistles were not equal to prophets. Yet their writings are included in the Bible. During 40 A.D. to 80 A.D. hundreds of Gospels appeared. 325 A.D. only 4 Gospels out of many were retained by King Constantine of Constantinople (now Istanbul) 700 A.D. This time a Latin version appeared called the VOLGATE version. (By now YAHVISTIC. ELOHISTIC,SECER-DOTAL and VOLGATE versions had appeared). 1605 A.D. Pope Clement VIII accepted the VOLGATE version. Others were rejected. 1870 A.D. Vatican Council again revised the Bible. 1962 A.D. Second Vatican Council again revised it. 1978 A.D. Some hundred scholars from world over took the task to scrutinize and revise the Bible text and called it - Holy Bible- New International Version. 1983 A.D. Before the ink was dry, it was again revised. Thus there were a number of Bible texts YAHVISTIC ELOHISTIC, SECER-DOTAL and VOLGATE versions. Because they were multilingual and complicated, therefore their authenticity was questionable. Hebrew, Arabic, Latin, Syriac, Greek and even Arabic versions were in use. The fusion of all these texts and languages into one text certainly created the problem of authenticity. Compromisesand adjustments were made in the Canon - the ecclesiastic text. Bible had always remained vulnerable. The human element in writing it is considerable. It has been written arbitrarily over a long period of time adding texts in pieces and bits.
Therefore a distinguished French doctor and scholar Maurice Bucaille writes- “It is not difficult to understand why from version to version, and from translation to
translation, with all the corrections inevitably resulting, it was impossible for the original text to have been transformed during the course of more than 3300 years.
