Why did Jesus not write any books?

Answer 1

He had his disciples with him all the time. They were witnesses of all the wonderful miracles he did. He would say he did not had time to write any books. He was too busy doing His father's work.

Answer 2

For many reasons, but, whatever I say will cause offence to those who believe and have the blind faith of a religionist.
I have no intention of doing that.

There is absolutely no proof that the synoptic gospels were written by anyone who was actually in the particular region at the time either.
The authors of nearly all of both the old and new testaments are unknown or have unreliable evidence of authorship.

Even the very existence of that particular person, upon which the religion of the christians is founded, is difficult to prove and if that person did exist the tracing of his life and words would be a less than easy task to research. The entire basis of most religions is open to conjecture, but this is the nature of religion is it not ?
It is not about truth, it is about spirituallity and the path may well be hidden in occult knowledge contained within the words of holy books and may well be there to be found by those that are interested in such things.

Anybody that believes that the bible is the true word of god, directly recorded and presented in hardback really ought to do a little research into the history of religion, that one in particular.

Please, keep your faith, do good works and help others, but, do not impress your views forcibly on those without the wit,education or facilities to research fully the words you will undoubtedly press upon them.

Evangelical christianity and indeed the fundamentalists of all religions are the greatest threat to peace on this earth, with the repression of education, the holding back of scientific knowledge and the brainwashing techniques of `shouty` religious leaders who know damned well what they are doing to stir up hatred, abuse and war for their and their leaders profit.

Answer 3

Jesus did his part in death that all might have the New Testament that witnesses and believing disciples and apostles are to provide. Heb.9:14,15;

John 21:24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

THEY GAVE US JUST ENOUGH AND AMAZINGLY THE WORLD GOT IT AT THE RIGHT TIME, IN THE LAST DAYS BEFORE HIS SECOND COMING.

Answer 4

Men wrote the Bible..They were thousands of years apart on at least 3 different continents..They were under the influence of the Holy Spirit when they wrote..the Holy SPirit is third person of the Trinity...Jesus is the second...God the Father is first ...So they are ALL equal...all ONE....
Jesus would have no need to write...

Answer 5

Who said Jesus didnt write any books in the first !!! Maybe he did and his writing are kept away from public view, so that "man" could tell you anything they wanted about him. Or, maybe Jesus couldnt write after all, given that he was different from his fellow Jews, and rather an outcast !!!

Answer 6

There were no good publishers around. Besides there were not many people who could read.
But wait a minute, he did get the apostles to write a book on him. As the book had to have a lot of praise for him, he did not want to sound like he was praising himself.

Answer 7

Unlike most of his apostles, Jesus' ministry was short.
Only 3 1/2 yrs.
However, as shown in Revelation, he did assign his revelation and testimonies to be recorded.

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Answer 8

He was a little busy what with the healing the sick, preaching to the masses, changing water into wine, chastizing the pharisee, and doing his Father's work in preparation for his death. You know there are just not enough hours in a day....

Answer 9

he preached using illustrations. when in the temples etc he used existing scrolls to teach everyone from. When he was baptised, the holy spirit decended upon him, and he remembered his prehuman existance, and the reason he was there. as he knew Gods purpose, that everyone believe the truth so they wouldn't die, he set about preaching it.
his disciples wrote the rest of the bible after his death so everyone would remember his teachings and be able to come to an accurate knowledge of God and his son Jesus.

Answer 10

He wasnt really on earth long enough..he died when he was 33. Although to be fair, hes had more books written about him than any other person ever.
