Wouldnt the bible be more worthy of faith if Jesus Christ himself wrote it?

Question

there are so many different versions of the bible, which have so many different opinions, i think if Jesus would have wrote it, it would be worth more spiritually, but it was all a bunch of people, in other words, humans wrote it, and so it cant be all divine as people claim it to be as humans are flawed.

yes. the holy spirit huh? reminds me of the ancient greeks, and their "muses" which inspired them.

Answer 1

the Holy Spirit inspired the Bible, He wrote thru people, it is the divine word bro

Answer 2

Who are you going to believe? A self proclaimed man who says, I am God and I wrote this book to help you live My way. OR a bunch of people who say, this guy really is God and here is what He said.

I agree with you, it sure would be nice if the words were put to paper by Jesus Himself. I think I understand God's logic though. You see, if I read Gods words, I would understand his intent according to my own point of view. Instead it is remembered a little differently by different people, each viewing Him from a different point, each interpreting it in their own way in order to translate it from events and meanings into a common language of the day and recorded for us to read. This gives more of a 3 dimensional view of what went on.

Point of View example:
1) A homeless woman lives behind a building in an alley. The building is dirty, plain and tall. The garbage stinks. The drug dealers, come there to do business. Loan sharks come there to leave their beat up victims, sometimes to kill them. The place is a living hell.
2) A well traveled man has a favorite hotel. It is beautiful and ornate, with fabulous dancing water fountains, exotic plants, fabulous lobby, exquisite food, the best spa in the world and is on the shores of a crystal blue ocean. To him it is heaven on earth.

These are 2 points of view of the same hotel. They may differ greatly. It helps to get the big picture. (I still wish that Jesus had written the Bible with his own hand.)

Answer 3

The different versions of the Bible have all been translated from the oldest available manuscripts, dating back as far as the 2nd century B.C. They aren't translated from each other, but from the oldest copies that have been found, and the consistency in translation has been remarkable. Do a little bit of research about Biblical textual criticism, and also the Dead Sea Scrolls. The evidence for the Bible's consistency is there for anyone willing to look at it. Check out the links below.

Answer 4

I have 40 versions on my computer. There's hardly any difference at all. There is no difference when it comes to the meaning. Only a few words are different. That's because some are translations and others are paraphrases to make them easier to read.
Yes, the bible was written by men but the men were inspired by God. They wrote under the inspiration of God. The thoughts didn't come from them. God used them somewhat like a secretary. Stephan Hawking has been called the Einstein of the 21st century. He's a brilliant physicist. He's written a number of books but he didn't really write them. Stephan Hawking has Lou Gehrigs disease. He's a quadrapalegic. His secretary wrote everything. But did the thoughts really come from his secretary? I don't think so. Neither did the thoughts come from the men who wrote the books of the bible. You seem to knock that view but I don't think your problem is with the gospel writers. Your problem is with Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". If God could create this great universe, He could put certain thoughts in certain mens minds and give them a desire to write them down. That's no problem if you believe in God. If you don't believe in God then you have other problems.
Anybody who says there is no God is just not thinking straight. In your brain there are 100 billion neurons. Each one of those neurons(remember, there's 100 billion of them) is connected to 1000 other neurons. That comes out to 100 trillion connections in your brain. These connections send electronic signals(and you can measure the electricity) from one place to another. If part of the brain is damaged and you lose some function that is controlled by that part of the brain, the brain can actually re-wire itself and let other neurons in the undamaged part of the brain take over so that you can get back that function. That's only the connections in the brain, not the rest of the body.
Our bodies also have tons of information in the DNA. You have enough information in your DNA to fill encyclopedia sized books stacked from here to the moon and back 500 times. Do you really think that came about by just random chance........kind of like a monkey typing out the works of Shakespear just by randomly plucking away at the keys?
You need to step back and look at the big picture of what is being claimed by evolution, namely, that the unbelieveable complexity of the human brain(not to mention the rest of the body) is nothing more than re-arranged pond scum. It’s pond scum from the original prebiotic soup re-arranged over billions of years into 100 trillion connections in the brain by luck…..just random chance.
Jesus didn't write books because he didn't come to this earth to write books. He came to this earth for one purpose and that was to die on a cross for the sins of the world. Any books that he would have written about himself would have been incomplete because he would have had to finish the book before he died but the story didn't end till after he died and rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Even if he had wrote some books you would not have accepted those books anymore than you accept the ones written by the New Testament writers. Your problem isn't an intellectual problem. It's a moral problem. You have your lifestyle and your not going to accept any interference from Christ(or probably any other god for that matter). No evidence in the world is going to convince you because you simply don't want to be convinced. But you will be convinced eventually. The bible says "it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgement". You will die sooner or later, trust me. It also say "every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord". I really hope that doesn't happen with you after it is too late. Here's some websites for the rest of the readers. I'm sure you won't be interested.

Answer 5

The Bible is the inSPIRed word of God. Just as what I'm writing is inspired by the Teachings of Baha'u'llah. I'm writing my understanding of what He said. No, it's not as good as the original; but, at this moment, it's all I can share with you.

At the time of Jesus, for whatever reason, He did not write, in His own hand, his Revelation. That didn't keep Christians, for thousands of years, from trying to live His teachings to the best of their understanding. And a whole civilization is the result of the Teachings of one human being. Can that be anything but the power of the Word of God?

Muhammad, also, did not write His revelation. Indeed, He was illiterate! That did not prevent His followers from collecting His Revelation the best they could, nor did it prevent them from living His Revelation to the best of their understanding, and a whole civilization is the result of the Revelation of one Holy Man--Muhammad. Can this be the result of anything less than the power of God's Word, as given through Muhammad?

If you must have the original Writings of a Revelation from God, I invite you to check out my source. We have, in Haifa, Israel, the original Writings of Baha'u'llah in Arabic and Farsi. As a prisoner most of His life, Baha'u'llah wrote by His own pen, in His own hand, his Revelation--over 500 volumes--which is to guide us into the next 500,000-year cycle of mankind, which is known as the Baha'i cycle, as the cycle that began with Adam is known as the Adamic cycle.
