Who Wrote the Bible - A Letter from God
“Who wrote the Bible” is a question that is undoubtedly asked by many who are familiar with the impact this book has made on people around the world. The Bible gives guidance in our journey through life to eternity, as well as leads us to a relationship with the God of the universe. It is a historical book that is backed by archeology, and a prophetic book that has lived up to all of its claims thus far. In light of all these facts, asking, “who wrote the bible,” is a vital question that deserves serious investigation and a serious response. The Bible is God’s letter to humanity collected into 66 books written by 40 divinely inspired writers. These writers come from all walks of life (i.e., kings to fishermen) and spans over a period of 1,500 years or more. These claims may seem dramatic (or unrealistic to some), but a careful and honest study of the biblical scriptures will show them to be true.

Who Wrote the Bible - Evidence of Divine Inspiration
“Who wrote the Bible” is a question that can be definitively answered by examining the biblical texts in light of the external evidences that supports its claims. 2 Timothy 3:16 states that “All scripture is inspired by God….” In 2 Peter 1:20-21, Peter reminds the reader to “know this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, … but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Bible itself tells us that it is God who is the author of His book.

God does not leave us with just claims of His divine handiwork in the Bible, but also supports it with compelling evidence. The design of the Bible itself is a miracle. Written over more than 1,500 years by vastly different writers, yet every book in the Bible is consistent in its message. These 66 books talk about history, prophecy, poetry, and theology. Despite their complexity, differences in writing styles and vast time periods, the books of the Bible agree miraculously well in theme, facts and cross-referencing. No human beings could have planned such an intricate combination of books over a 1,500-year time span. Bible manuscripts (remember, there were no printing presses until 1455) have survived despite weather, persecution and time. Most ancient writings written on weak materials like papyrus have vanished all together. Yet many copies of the Old Testament scriptures survived. For instance, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain all books of the Old Testament, except Esther, and have been dated to before the time of Christ. Consider Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars. Only ten copies written about 1,000 years after the event are in existence. In comparison, there are over 24,000+ New Testament manuscripts, the earliest one dating to within 24 years after Christ.

The Bible also validates its divine authorship through fulfilled prophecies. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever been proven false (three are unconfirmed). An honest study of biblical prophecy will compellingly show the divine authorship of the Bible. Further, archeology confirms (or in some cases supports) accounts in the biblical record. No other holy book comes close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its divine authorship.

Who Wrote the Bible - A Question of Eternal Significance
“Who Wrote the Bible” is indeed a question that everyone must ask. If indeed it is the Word of the living God, then no other book gives us more insight into our lives, more hope for our future, and a true path to a relationship with God. Search the Bible with openness and honesty and see for yourself what the Creator of the universe wants to tell you!

Answer 2

Many people are told that we can’t be sure who wrote the Bible. But the Bible is often clear about who penned its contents. Some parts begin with such phrases as “the words of Nehemiah,” “the vision of Isaiah,” and “the word of Jehovah that occurred to Joel.”—Nehemiah 1:1; Isaiah 1:1; Joel 1:1.

Most Bible writers acknowledged that they wrote in the name of Jehovah, the one true God, and that they were guided by him. Prophets who wrote the Hebrew Scriptures proclaimed more than 300 times: “This is what Jehovah has said.” (Amos 1:3; Micah 2:3; Nahum 1:12) Other writers received God’s message through angels.—Zechariah 1:7, 9.

The Bible was written by some 40 men over the course of 1,600 years. Some men were used to write more than one book of the Bible. In fact, the Bible is a miniature library of 66 books. It consists of the 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures, called by many the Old Testament, and the 27 books of the Christian Greek Scriptures, often called the New Testament

Answer 3

Who was supposed to write it? Was God supposed to sit down someplace and write it? Had you been told that God wrote it, would you believe that statement? Had you been told that God wrote it, would you then believe the Bible? Men did write it. Through the INSPIRATION of God. Who wrote about the Holocaust? Hitler or other men that may, or may not, have even been there? Saints? Does it really matter? Translate? I think God knew that there are different languages and to get the Bible to those that speak a different language it had to be translated into that language. Kind of like the instruction booklets on today's products. Many are written in different languages. I think the reason why they are is evident. The instruction, the truths, the way of salvation, is written in the Bible ...God, not man! My God is God. Read the Bible, talk to a main line religion clergy, and see why.

Answer 4

The Bible writers gave God's messages by voice and pen while they lived, and when they died, their writings lived after them. These prophetic messages were then gathered together, under God's leading, in the book called the Bible.

The Bible says in II Peter 1:20-21, "You must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

The Holy Spirit revealed to the prophets the messages of Scripture. The writers of the Bible wrote not according to their own will or whim, but only as they were moved, or controlled, by the Spirit of God. The Bible is God's own book!

II Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." The Holy Bible affects human beings so profoundly because "all" the Bible is "God-breathed." It's more than a nice collection of moral principles; it's more than a great book; it's an inspired document, God's book. The prophets who wrote the Bible related what they saw and heard in human language, but their message came directly from God.

Answer 5

The names of the people who wrote the bible is right there in the bible. No "one" person wrote the whole bible. It is a bunch of ancient writings put together in a book. For example the oldest writings of the Old Testament are believed to be from around 6th Century B.C (Before Christ). And the New Testament writings include some from 1st century AD, to 62 AD. All versions and eyewitness accounts of the bible are all the same, none of them differ.

Answer 6

To be accurate, more than 40 individual men "wrote" the Bible, over a timespan of more than 1500 years. These men lived on different continents, spoke different languages, had different worldviews, came from different cultural backgrounds, and from different social classes. Kings and fisherman contributed equally significant pieces. The Bible could not possibly have come from a more fragmented source.

And yet, it reads through with an undeniable harmony and unity of theme. Considering it's fragmented source, this is absolutely impossible unless it was all divinely inspired. The unity/harmony of the scriptures is its own miracle, evident for all (who have not hopelessly hardened their hearts) to see.

That's who wrote the Bible. God, not man.

2 Timothy 3:16: All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness --ESV

Answer 7

While i am not a complete Christian but aCeltic Pagan/Christian. I think I can still answer this question .
The First parts of the Bible( THE Pentateuch from the Torah) are oral traditions handed down by memory and word of mouth. And no they were not ignorant. just hadn't invented writing or something to write on or with yet. This is how all things were passed on word for word until then. the Celtic Druids used the same system to keep the laws and descendants in memory.
They are the truth of the people that lived in those times with the words that they had.
If you could see the future and went far enough ahead . you will probably run into things that you have no words for . but can only describe the things it terms that those of your time might know of.
And the people wee nomadic and semi-nomadic. with small cities just starting.so most of them were farmers and herdsmen. and spoke of things in those terms.as they were the most important and better understood at the time.

Answer 8

No one man or woman wrote the Bible. It is a compilation of books written via many exclusive authors. Some of the books themselves are mostly compilations written via many exclusive authors (Genesis and Exodus, for illustration). Some suppose Moses wrote the primary 5 books, however that is without doubt legend on the grounds that writing kind, vocabulary, and grammar vary inside the textual content. Additionally, there are disorders of steady common sense for the period of, which betrays the likelihood that the primary 5 books of the Bible have been written via many exclusive palms. The New Testament was once additionally written via many exclusive persons, without doubt for the duration of the primary century. However, no person has entry to the long-established records, we simplest have copies of copies of copies of copies. Each of those copies are exclusive by some means, so it's inconceivable to pin down precisely what the long-established textual content says. We can simplest approximate what the long-established textual content mentioned. So, in a way, the Bible was once 'corrupted' through the years of its written transmission via careless or theologically stimulated scribes. If God did certainly encourage the Bible, why did not God then keep the long-established records in order that we might understand what they mentioned? My droop is that those are very human records, written via humans with their possess theological, social, and cultural biases. These texts, in my view, do factor to God, however they were not authored via God. Just my opinion regardless that. Hope this is helping slightly.

Answer 9

Moses wrote down all the words of Jehovah Exodus 24:4
Prophecy was at no time brought by man's will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit. 2 Peter 1:21....2 Timothy 3:16...all scriptures are inspired by God.

Answer 10

Well sure men phsyically wrote the Bible but from Gods spirit. Like the President have a secratary to write his note for him. Are they going to say that it was the presidents letter or secratarys? And yes men said those people were saints not God and if you read the Bible clearly enough then youd realizes God doesnt says or want anyone to be a saint. God gave the right to translate the Bible otherwise we wouldnt understand what it says. And well actually God says the Bible is the only way to believe. I dont want to be rude but please dont be so narrow minded on this.

Answer 11

God wrote the Bible. of course it was technically man's hand that wrote down the words, but the words came from God.
says so right in the Bible

"All Scripture is given by inspieration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

so there u go. and even if what u said were true and man wrote the Bible, then why would he write something like that?

God is my God, not man
