Why wasn't the bible written into modern times?

The Bible is not just an ordinary book-it was inpired by God from time immemorial

God has sent us four books, the Torah, the Zaboor, Bible and the last and final Quran. God has sent his revealations which were scripted in these books to their respected prophets of those times. The Bible was revealed to Jesus Christ and after which came Prophet Mohammed pbuh, God then sent his revealations to Prophet Mohammed and declared this to be his final revealations as Prophet Mohammed was the final prophet. There have been no prophets after him due to which no revealations have been taken place. Everything of the past, present and even the future has been in advance revealed in the Holy Quran. Scientist have proved a few things in this century which was already been mentioned in the Holy Quran. All the other three books have been ammended but it is only the Quran which is word to word the same as it was revealed, even today. Nobody has made or tried to make any changes in the Quran. Even if each and every Quran in every corner of the world is destroyed by the non-believers, the Quran will still remain in the hearts of the believers, as there are many who have learnt the Quran byheart. The earlier three books have never been learnt byheart by anyone. So, my dear friend, it is just this reason, why the bible is not having any more additions in it, as the Quran has everything in it, as I said the past, present and even the future. Hope you are convinced with my explanation. If you have any doubts, you can pm me after adding me as your friend.

I would say that a big portion of it is the verse in revelations (22:18) which threatens anyone who adds to "this book" with plagues. Furthermore, the bible as it is now was not just written, it was compiled by the Catholic church. For an interesting read, there are other gospels, such as the gospel of Thomas that are not included in that compilation. Add that to the actual question of who would be the one responsible for writing in the bible? With all of the various beliefs that we have now, I doubt that Christianity as a whole could decide on just one person to write. I mean, the Jews certainly didn't consider followers of Jesus to be inspired, and thus they don't believe the same writings to be holy that Christians do. Few do really trust anyone who does claim that God has spoken to them, and they have made their claims. That is what all of Mormonism is based on, and they do believe in more scriptures (others do too, this is just the first example i could think of). I think that its because the biblical writings ceased when the apostles of Jesus died, and nobody else has been "qualified" to write more. Plus, if it already tells us everything we need to know, why would we need more?

The last writings in the Bible are most probably the letters of John. As this apostle is known to have reached a very high age (between 90 and 100 years), this must have been in the last decade of the first century.

Although the New Testament contains many historical books -Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Acts, facts in the letters of Paul), it is not mainly a historical document but the documentation of God's New Covenant with Men. As this it depends on divine ispiration.

Although the Canon of the New Testament -the list of books officially approved by all the Church Fathers who wrote about in the first centuries- was not closed but as late as 393 C.E. and confirmed in 419 C.E., it insisted in applying the 4 points of canonicity as prove of divine inspiration:

1. Apostolicity - Attributed to and based on the teachings of an first-generation apostle or a close companion of an apostle.
2. Universal acceptance - acknowledged by all major Christian communities of the first three centuries.
3. Liturgical use - read publicly when the communities met for the Lord's supper
4. Consistent message - containing a theological doctrine that agreed with other acknowledged scriptures

While most books we find now in the New Testament were accepted very soon, there was a lengthy discussion about some of them, as for the letter of Jude (because of verses 9, 14 and 15 which cite a very dubious source). This New Testament Canon was accepted throughout Church history, also by the Reformers.

I know why. Because it is all fake and nothing in there is real at all, and the bible and christianity was used to keep the masses down for a long time, once upon a time the poor didnt know how to read, only the priests and nobility did. You have this book telling you to stay in line and not get out of order and cause problems and only you know what it really says, because after all they wont think for themselves. Now almost everyone knows how to read and we are intelligent and dont need this fanciful book anylonger, yet they still act like it matters. Nobody would believe anyone if they suddenly found new books, and priests and pastors and all that claim they can talk to their god all the time.


Pagan and Proud

Learn the complete compilation of All kind of Bible from Christian religious leaders itself, you can understand what was/is going on.

There were many collections, some are rejected some are taken, and many church differs with it. The Bible in original language fully not available now, where it has gone?

The language of Jesus was Aramaic, and the Injeel(Relevations given to Jesus) should be in Aramaic. Christians claims it is Greek, How Greek language comes while Jesus lived in Palestine?
And it is to be noticed that some sayings of Christ is quoted in Bible, which are in Aramaic.

So I think the actual revelations of God given to Prophet Jesus has lost some where, and nowadays Christians following some writings for some people born there after.

No worries..

The Bible is our road map to life. It has a beginning, BC, a middle the life of Christ as God on Earth and an ending which is Revelations Christs predictions of the last days.
God speaks to us Christians through our hearts so there is no need for an "updated" version as Muslims believe. The Quran is not part of the Bible.
What more do we need? Man hasn't changed, sin hasn't changed, life and God hasn't changed.
