Does the Bible state that God created some men to be lost?

That is hotly debated topic. It is related to the doctrine of predestination, and would advocate the double-predestination position which says that God chose some folks to be saved and chose others to be condemned. There are passages in The Bible that say some people are lost - for example, the parable that Jesus about the rich man and Lazarus where the rich man ends up in Hell and Lazarus in Heaven. However, the Bible does not explicitly say that some people are created to be lost. It could be, for example, that God created the rich man with a free will and that the rich man chose to ignore Lazarus and focus on himself. He condemned himself by of that sin.

Did the Bible itself claim to be the word?

Difficult to answer that question, as there are some verses in the Bible that seem to state that the Bible is the word of God. The problem with this is that many of the biblical authors did not know that they were contributing to a collection of 66 books that would one day be considered "the word of God." The Bible does NOT claim absolute infallibility. In fact, there are several occasions in which Paul explicitly states that what he is writing is opinion, and that he does not know what God's "position" on the issue would be. It is very possible that God created the Bible, but that the Bible is not perfect. Consider that God created people, yet people are imperfect. I'm not trying to persuade in any direction; just trying to present the facts as I see them.

Who are the lost tribe of the bible and were they African?

The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were ten of the twelve tribes of the Ancient Israelites who were defeated by the Assyrians and forcibly deported (as was common Assyrian custom). They lost their distinctive Israelite heritage. There is some speculation as to whether some of the lost tribes of Israel were African, but most people believe that the Lost Tribes of Israel merely lost their distinctive heritage and became part and parcel of other ethnic and religious groups in the Middle East.


Who closed the canon of the bible?

There is nothing like a "closed canon of the Bible"...In principle the Bible from its day of development has followed the principle of an open canon. This is why it was possible to accommodate all the writer who came later than Moses. The key is, as long as the writer meets the set criteria that the church deem necessary for a given writer's work to be accepted as inspired by God. By way of this argument, I should state that if today the church was to discover the lost works of some of the prophets the Bible makes mention of but whose was long lost, it should add such works to the list that we now have as long as there is ample evidence of the authenticity of the works in question. To believe in a closed Bible canon is to believe in a God who has stopped to communicate and reveal Himself. Besides, it is to forget that God never gave a set limit of the books which were to constitute the Bible.
