After the completion of the Old Testament,there were, '400 YEARS OF SILENCE',during which God did not speak or inspire any scripture.That silence was broken by the arrival of John the Baptist,and since that time there has been '2,000 years of silence,during which God has not spoken or inspired any scriptures.
Hi Blueblades,
I think many of your questions and wonderments could be answered if you would re-search......HOW the bible was formed, WHO formed it, WHAT the situation was at the time of it's forming(N.T.), and what the prevelant beliefs were in the area at the time of it's formation.
There is MUCH more to the bible than you probably know.
There are many books, encyclopedia's, that deal with HOW the bible was put together..........it ain't pretty.
