The Bible did not have chapters and verses? Are you saying it was just books of run-on sentences?

it was written the way you see any other book written.. .. there were no run-on sentences..... the original bible had puncuation to identify senteces...and was also written in a way that made individual paragraphs clearly identifiable.... but the numbered short segments you see today that frequently cut paragraphs into pieces were not written into it...... ...but you can still see where original paragraphs begin or end today by looking for this symbol... ¶ ...it shows where a paragraph begans and ends in the original scripts.... and as i understand it came into usage after the chapter and verse divisions became common in printed translations....

Interesting. I guess I never knew. I have heard it was written in Hebrew. Now that I think about it, I’m not even sure if they used the numeric system like today

the bible;s many original manuscripts were written in more than one language.... the old testament was written in hebrew.. ..... and most of the new testament was written in greek... but some of the original new testament was written in aramaic... . the language most likely spoken by Jesus......

it took many years for many different writers under inspiration to complete the bible...... ....hindus invented modern numerals we use today... 1 through 9... then the arabs invneted the zero some time after that..... i;m not sure the exact time. .maybe 1 st century AD?.... . and i might have who did which one backwards... (trying to remember all that from 4th grade math class).... ...... anyway...... that;s all i can contribute for now....... gotta go run erands...... .

Strom: I'm only going to make one post a day. [makes several]

Anything else you haven't been entirely honest about, that we should be aware of?
