Question

1. The Bible came primarily from:

1 an archangel who presented it to Moses
2 experiences of people of Israel and the followers of Jesus
3 King James of England
4 Greek prophets

Answer 1

The Bible primarily came from the experiences of people of Israel and the followers of Jesus. The Old Testament of the Bible, also known as the Hebrew Bible, was written primarily in Hebrew and Aramaic by Jewish authors over a period of several centuries. The New Testament was written in Greek by early Christian authors and includes accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus as well as letters written by early Christian leaders to various communities. The idea that an archangel presented the Bible to Moses or that King James of England was involved in its creation are not accurate.
