It seems that a lot of people are clueless about Bible history. The book of Wisdom is one book in what's known as the Apocrypha in the Bible. About 135 years ago two English guys, Westcott & Hort, got a bug up their butts and deleted the Apocrypha from the Bible, just like that. The Protestants went along with their idea but the Catholics retained the complete Bible that had been in use since it was first introduced in 692 A.D.
Around 640 A.D. Uthman's committee introduced the Islamic fairy tale in the Koran. The Christians didn't have a single unified book for their fairy tale so they were "Sputnik'ed" and had to play catch up. Over the next couple of decades they devised a plan to write their fairy tale into a single book. They got busy and assembled a committee of story tellers, writers and artists in England. They raised a herd of about 2,000 cows for vellum to write on. In 2692 A.D. they introduced their results, the massive 75 pound illustrated Codex Amiatinus written in Latin. They had three copies. One was for the Pope. Their Bible didn't include the book of Baruch, which was added later in translation revisions.
Around the year 1227 the archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton introduced the idea of chapters. Wycliffe was the first one to incorporate Langston's chapters in his 1382 Bible. The Old Testament got verses in 1448. The New Testament got verses in 1555.
Just about all of the Bible versions included the Apocrypha until around 1885, when they vanished from the Protestant Bibles.
None of the "J" words, such as John, Jerusalem, Jews, Jesus, existed before the 16th Century. Yeshua became Jesus as a result of a lawsuit filed against two Dutch con men who were accused of printing faulty Bibles. The name Jesus was mentioned only once in the lawsuit but it stuck and Jesus was created.
Regarding the use of numbered chapters and verses, does anyone have any idea who revised the Koran to include them and when?
This is a lousy platform for including links. Sometimes it works and sometimes it's a total failure. I can provide links if anyone wants them.
