everybody quotes the bible, but I'm confused, was it jesus or god who wrote the bible?

Answer 1

I think it was Ed

Answer 2

All of the books of the Bible are written anonymously--that is, their authors are unknown. The books attributed to Moses were actually written by several different authors, which even Bible scholars admit to; they know this from things like word usage (e.g. one author uses "Adonai" while another uses "Elohim"), syntax, grammar, etc. Of course, the pew warmers are never told this because it's easier to keep the sheep subdued if they are ignorant.

Likewise, not a single book of the NT can be definitively traced to a particular author--the names attached to the books have nothing to do with the actual authorship. Again, the average church goer knows nothing of this. They are not told that many of the NT "manuscripts" are nothing but scraps of paper (called miniscules) with only a few letters or words written on them; or that the more complete manuscripts bear evidence of redaction; or that older manuscripts often lack passages that are contained in more recent ones; or that the earliest writings cannot be dated to any earlier than about 60 AD--well after Jesus was said to have lived--and the majority are dated well into the hundreds AD; or that there was no Bible (hence no way for anyone to know "God's word") before 1611; or that the 1611 KJV contained the Apocrypha; or that there was, and still is, tremendous disagreement as to which books belong in the Bible.

So, who wrote the Bible? Unknown humans did, over many, many centuries and for a number of reasons. For anyone to believe that some all-powerful deity had anything to do with the haphazard manner in which these error-ridden, contradictory, and heavily redacted books were put together, takes a denial of reality verging on the truly astounding.

Answer 3

Neither. God, not Jesus, inspired ancient Jewish prophets to write the Old Testiment. After the death of Jesus, his deciples traveled the world, finding followers of their own and forming the first Christian groups. These Christians groups wrote the books of the New Testiment, along with several books that were never included in the New Testiment.

When the church was forming as an organized religion, the Bible was organized and those books that supported the teachings of Jesus that the church believed in were chosen for inclusion in the Bible.

It would be accurate to say that Jesus was never involved in any of the books of the Bible, and was entirely unaware in his lifetime that the New Testiment would be written by his followers. After all, Jesus did not come to create a new religion, but to help the Jews, God's original chosen people, to return to the rightous path and to teach them a better way of living. That is why Jesus is the Messiah, or Christ, the prophesised teacher and ultimate spiritual leader of the Jewish people. Unfortunitely, most Jews see Jesus as a failed Messiah, in a long line of men who have claimed to be the Messiah.

Answer 4

Neither God nor Jesus wrote the Bible. It was written by ordinary men who lived after Jesus supposedly went to Heaven after being crucified on the cross by the Romans. The Bible has been rewritten countless times by different men over the centuries. Most of the stories in the Bible are myths to explain the unexplainable aspects of life.

Answer 5

Essentially, what we now refer to as The Bible is a compilation of writings and chronicles made by different persons at various times and places during the period generally known as the Biblical Era. With all due respect and with no wish to offend, the Bible was not written directly by either Christ or God, but was written about God or Christ by scribes, some of whom have Chapters named after them. For example, we have The Gospel After St. Luke. Much of The Bible was originally written in Greek and translated into English during the reign of King James. This has become the commonly known King James Version.

Answer 6

NEITHER
the bible was writen over 200 years after the death of Jesus Christ. His saying were passed by mouth among the disciples which i dont take as original (ever play telephone, the original message gets butchered by the end of the game). It was never reported that Jesus got the bible word for word from god so i would say the original source would be JEsus that would be changed by the disciples to adapt to the times.

Answer 7

Jesus and God are One and the Same. God, who is Jesus in the form of the Son, wrote the Bible.

Answer 8

OK, first of all, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all of equal power.(aka the Holy Trinity). The Holy Spirit is what we feel when we worship and pray, Jesus came to earth (as God in the human flesh)and died for our sins, and God is invisible, all-powerful, and all-knowing.
It's true that men did the actual writing process of what we find in the Bible today, but they were instructed by God and He told them exactly WHAT to write. Therefore all of the recordings are true and have the same in content, even though we have different translations.

Answer 9

Men wrote the Bible- many believe that God directed them in their writing, but literally speaking, men wrote the Bible.

Answer 10

Neither actually wrote the Bible. That's why religion is so controversial. Plus the Bible has been rewritten so many time that is has lost a lot of it's true context making what's left corrupt.

Answer 11

The bible was written by different mortal men under the inspiration of God
