When you ask a Christian where in the bible is the word bible found he may point to Matthew 1:1 from the Greek Bible where it says :
The book (Biblos Βίβλος ) of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Matthew 1:1)
In other words bible or books in Greek means Biblos Βίβλος and that's found in the bible I.e Matthew 1:1. And to be honest it's a valid point made by the Christian, however we do have a problem with the Greek word Βίβλος Biblos (books)
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books (Biblos Βίβλος) together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. (Acts 19:19)
--------------------
Now here's the Dilemma the word Book (Biblos Βίβλος) used in Matthew 1:1 cannot be a Specific Distinctive word for (THE HOLY BIBLE) as Christians call it, since the same word Biblos Βίβλος is said to have been BURNT in Acts 19:19 and let's me honest the word Bible is not Unique at all it's a a standard term for books that is any kind of books.
SHALL WE CONCLUDE THE BIBLE WAS BURNT !!!
