You are incorrect. The Bible was compiled between 70AD and 300AD - thus being written after the death of Christ. So, it was most likely written by a Jew, or early followers of Christianity.

It wasn't me, but to clear up your question, The Bible was written by Prophets of Old, in the Old testament & Aposltes of the New Testament, therefore that is probably where someone said Christians. But what we call Christians, they are refered to in the New Testament, But Sons & Daughters of God Started way back before there was any pagans, Adam & Eve was a Son & Daughter of God, therefore that make pagans coming along later on in time.

Why would a pagan write either the history of the Jewish people or the life of Christ? Why in fact would any pagan write positively about the interaction between the human race and a God whose very existence they don't accept?? Hey! Maybe the Koran was written by Christians! Have you considered that?

The authors of the OT were Hebrew. The NT was written by followers of Jesus. I can see why someone would think that they were pagans. Any God who wants blood sacrifice isn't exactly a depiction of divine love, so in essence I suppose you could say they were pagans.

God predates pagans. The bible is inspired by the Word of God.

All the Bible writers were Jews or Israelites. The ones that wrote the Christian Greek scriptures were Jews that converted to Christianity.

Nobody says it was a Christian who wrote the Bible, Manie. Some parts of it were written by Christians, but most of it was written before Christ's time. Were you just born yesterday, Manie?

The world has never been 100 % of any religion. There's always someone who takes the "narrow path". By the way, what's the meaning of paganism? To have paganism means there had to be a true God to go against.

Your info is flawed if you think people think Christians wrote the whole Bible. The New Testament is attributed to Christians, the Old Testament is attributed to Hebrews (Jews). The validity of the authors and the content is suspect at the least.
