The first Scriptures were not written on paper. They were written in our conscience.

The law of conscience came into existence when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.

The pre-flood history started as oral tradition from the sons of Noah.

There are ancient flood stories in ancient cultures predating Moses.

With the modern versions it must be said that the gender-neutral Bibles cannot be considered accurate Bibles.

Nor can the New World Translation.

In the paraphrase Bibles are good for casual reading but not Bible study.

The Bible, as we know it today, is a collection of sacred texts that has evolved over centuries through a complex process of compilation, translation, and transmission. Its origins trace back to ancient times, where various authors, inspired by their faith and experiences, wrote down religious teachings, historical accounts, poetry, and prophetic messages. These writings were initially passed down orally within religious communities before being recorded in written form on scrolls, tablets, and parchments. Over time, different religious councils and leaders, such as the Councils of Hippo and Carthage in the fourth and fifth centuries, played significant roles in determining which texts were considered canonical and should be included in the Bible. The process of compiling the Bible continued through the efforts of scholars, scribes, and translators across different cultures and languages.
One notable version of the Bible is the Orthodox Study Bible, which is a comprehensive edition that includes the Old and New Testaments along with additional study resources such as commentaries, maps, and articles from an Orthodox Christian perspective. This particular edition reflects the contributions and interpretations of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, offering insights and perspectives that enrich the understanding of the scriptures for believers. Overall, the Bible's journey from its ancient origins to its modern-day form is a testament to the enduring significance and spiritual importance it holds for millions of people around the world.

orthodox deny a literal bible and are related to the rcc.

not for biblical Christians.

Based on the numbers of adherents, the Eastern Orthodox Church (also known as Eastern Orthodoxy) is the second largest Christian communion in the world, after the Roman Catholic Church, with the most common estimates of baptised members being approximately 220 million.[1][2][3] The numerous Protestant groups in the world, if taken all together, substantially outnumber the Eastern Orthodox,[4] but they differ theologically and do not form a single communion.[5]
