Hi @rizal-sahabat, I will try to relieve your confusion.
The Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament.
The Old Testament starts with the creation of the world in the book of Genesis (first book of the Bible) and continues in covering the life and times of the ancient Israelites through the view of the prophets who wrote the Old Testament as they were directed by God.
The New Testament consists of the 4 Gospels, written by John, Mark, Matthew and Luke all Apostles of Jesus Christ.
The 4 Gospels tell the same story of the life, words, ministry, miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus from 4 different perspectives.
The New Testament also contains the letters of the Apostles who formed the early Christian church after the death, resurrection and ascension to heaven of Jesus Christ.
So the whole order of the Bible is Old Testament followed by New Testament. And within the New Testament it starts with the 4 Gospels of Jesus Christ followed by the letters of the Apostles of Christ and the last book of the Bible is Revelation which is prophecy about the second coming of Christ. Revelation is also written by John the Apostle, who wrote one of the Gospels, as he had a vision from Jesus.
Well, now that I have to explain it, it is kind of confusing. I hope this helps.
Detail explanation and thank you for that ..
Let me try to conclude it shortly, hope will be correct conclussion.
All books are called bibble, as bibble is devided into two : Old and New Testament, and the New Testament is four books of gospel. So when we say bibble it refers to books in general ( it can be Old Testamen or New one), but when we say gospel it must be referring to only four last books.
Is it correct bro?
You got it mostly,
I would just add that the New Testament is the 4 Gospel Books + The Letters of the Apostles like Acts and Romans and then the New Testament ends with Revelation.
Long time ago when i was at school, i ever heard about gospel barnabas, i dont know what language is "barnabas", maybe you can explain it more to me, because perhaps in my language said barnabas but other language has another name. In you previous explanation i didnt find Barnabas, what about it brother?
Barnabas is not a language or book of the Bible.
Barnabas was a friend, companion and instructor to Paul the Apostle right after Pauls conversion from being a persecutor of Christians to leading the early Christian Church.
Paul was blinded by a bright vision of Jesus on 'the road to Damascus' where he planned to persecute Christians, but the vision of Jesus changed all that and Barnabas helped Paul with his early ideals about Christianity after Paul was temporarily blinded- a real profound conversion.
14 of the Letters of the Apostles in The New Testament were written by Paul.
Thank you man......what a clear explanation
