The Bible says that there is a Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden alongside the Tree of Knowledge and that if we were to eat it we would ascend to immortal godhood.

Genesis 1 says that animals came before humans and man and woman were created at the same time. Genesis 2 says that man came first, then animals, then woman. Which one do you believe?

Tbf that’s not what it says. It says that God created man and woman and animals in Genesis one and gives order. Man was not created first. Animals were made on the 5th/6th day and then humans on the 6th day. Genesis 2 is talking about how the animals were then brought before Adam and then Eve was made. If you are talking specifically about Genesis 19, there Hebrew word meant “had formed” not “formed” which solves that contradiction.

So what the Bible says purely depends on which translation you choose. Got it.

It’s a collection of 66-81 books with different authors and intentions… the church also has a rich tradition of stuff like typology where items that by a historical reading just refer to 1 thing, are taken as like prophetic/prefigurations of the NT or whatnot

The Hebrew translation is the original one. Yes the wording varies when taken out of the original Hebrew because some words just… don’t exist in Greek or Latin or English or other languages. Sentence structure and grammar change too.

And yeah obviously we don’t know exactly what the Bible says there’s many known examples of stuff being added, And we don’t know how many UNKNOWN examples there are of people writing the Bible that got thru. (Early on of course )

There are multiple Hebrew, Greek, and Latin sources that have been blended to create the Bible

I mean, the Bible wasn’t written in Latin, but yes the vulgate has been used as a source even still.

It was originally written in Hebrew. Then handscribed onto scrolls. Then the Greeks and Roman’s translated it. And we have the modern translations as a mix of all of them but originally, the Bible was Hebrew.
