What is a Bible
The word Bible does not appear in Bible. Bible is a book of both the Jews and the
Christians. Muslims also believe in Moses and Jesus (Peace Be Upon Them). Muslims
also believe in the Message of Original Torah”[Original GospelBut since
Original Torah” and Original Gospel”[/u:5383caf5ba] have been lost by both Jews and Christians,
Muslims do not accept the existing version of Torah and Gospels as the real word of
GOD.
The present day Bible of Protestants is composed of 66 Books whereas the Bible
of Catholics have 73 Books. Some Books are as lengthy as 75 printed pages while
others are as short as one page or even less.
These 66 Books are divided into two Parts. First Part consists of 39 Books and is
called “The Old Testament”. The Second Part consists of 27 Books and is called “The
New Testament. (Or Testament One and Testament Two)
Though as a whole the Bible consists of 66/73 Books, but the Jews primarily
concern themselves with the very first 5 Books of the Old Testament. On the other
hand the Christians primarily concern themselves with all the 27 Books of the New
Testament. Out of these 27 Books, the first 4 are called the Gospels. (The Gospel of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). The remaining 23 Books were written by Paul and
others.
The original Torah must have been written in Hebrew language. Later day
editions were in Latin, Greek and English. Today once again the first- 5 books of the
Testament One, called the Torah are written in Hebrew language in Israel.
The original Gospel must have been in Aramic language which was a sister
Arabic language. Later day editions were in Latin and Greek and English languages.
Today Bible is available in hundreds of languages.
