Who here thinks Jesus himself wrote the New Testament?

Question

....and if Jesus is the trinity, why didn't he concede that he himself wrote the Torah? (Old Testament)

Yes, the TORAH is the old testament, written thousands of years before Christ's birth which is still the holy book of the Jews, see kids, you learn something every day! (hindu?, rolls eyes HARD)

And I would like to respond to a post:
How could he be observant of HIS law of the old testament? YOu know, there was a reason the Jews wanted to kill him, the holy Jewish elders hated Jesus. Jesus rebelled against the teachings of the Old Testament: " you have heard it said, love your friend but hate your enemy, but I tell you to love your enemies"

Answer 1

I think that you might be surprised to know that the Bible is written by several authors (inspired by God) but none on the writings were actually scribed by God himself (father or Son).

Answer 2

The books of the New Testament were written aftter Jesus was crucified and then arose from the dead. Some of the New Testament books (like Romans, Corinthians, Mark) we have were written about 20-30 years after he died and rose again. An earlier answer is incorrect. All of the books of the New Testament were written in the first century, 20-65 years after Jesus arose from the dead. While the books weren't written by Jesus, they were certainly written about him, were inspired by him, and provide us with understanding of some of his words and deeds.

The Trinity is God (the Father), Jesus (the son), and the Holy Spirit.

The Torah (part of the Old Testament) wasn't written by God (or the Trinity), but was written by people inspried by God.

Jesus did explain that he and God are one and that he (Jesus) was there with God in Old Testament times. For example, he said "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am"; "I and the Father are one."; "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." (See John 8, John 10, John 14).

Jesus did explain that he and God are one (2 parts of the Trinity) and that he was one with God at the time the Old Testament was inspired by God. So, he did concede that he himself inspired the Torah.

Answer 3

All the individual books of the Bible were penned by 40 different people in four different languages on three separate continents.

The writers of the new testament were mostly eyewitnesses to Jesus life on earth.

Jesus said before Abraham was "I AM" which meant he was God and thats why the unbelieving Jews (some DID believe) took up stones to kill him for blaphemy.

Answer 4

Since Jesus is part of the Trinity Godhead, and the New testament was inspired by the Holy Spirit who is also another part of that same Trinity. Yes you could say that. the truth as it is laid out in the Bible is that jesus IS the LIVING WORD. It says in Genisis that in the beginning, the word was with God and the word wasGod. and then lateron it says that God sent his word to save us.

Answer 5

The new testament contains many words spoken by the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

We know from reading it that many authors wrote it and that they knew who Christ was.

Christ didn't physically take a pen and write the new testament but truly it was inspired by Him.

Answer 6

Actually it was the Spirit of Christ who wrote the Old and New Testament.

Answer 7

You said in a few short words which may sum up the following

a)1 Corinthians 2:13--Paul said, "We speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth." Paul claimed it was the words, not just the thoughts that are inspired.

b) John 17:8--Jesus said to the Father, "I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me." In the Old Testament phrases such as "thus saith the Lord," "the word of the Lord came," and "God said" are repeated over 3800 times. Clearly God communicates by words.

c) Galatians 1:11-12--Paul said, "I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." Paul got the gospel from God, not men.

d) Exodus 4:12--God said to Moses, "I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say." Forty years later Moses said to Israel, "Ye shall not add unto the word which I commanded you, neither shall ye diminish anything from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you" (Deut. 4:2). Words spoken by God are not to be taken away from or added to.

e) 1 Peter 1:10-11--Peter wrote that "the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you, searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them did signify." This verse is a power argument against thought inspiration. The Holy Spirit gave the prophets a message about the Messiah, which they recorded. Then they sought to understand the meaning of their own proclamations. So there were times when the prophets received and recorded words that they did not fully understand. So it was words not thoughts that they pondered on, which again is evidence that inspiration is verbal.

f) Matthew 24:35--Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." It is the words in the Bible that God has given. Pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions are important.

g) 1 Corinthians 14:37--Paul said, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." A spiritual man will recognize that Paul's writings are the very words of God.

So, inspiration is not extended to thoughts only. The very words of the Bible are given by inspiration of God.

Answer 8

ALL Scripture is by the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Oh, The Father was there, the Holy Spirit was there, and Jesus was there, for they are ONE GOD!

"Blessed is he who has not seen, yet still believes."

Answer 9

Who do you think dictated the concepts to the original scribes?

Jesus The Christ is The Word.

Torah? yea, that too... Jesus is King of the Jews....
And yes... when Jesus walked here among us he was most observant of HIS LAW.

Answer 10

He did.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
