For one thing, there's a theme throughout the bible. In the old testatment, you can clearly see the wrath of God...in the New Testament, you can see the love of God.
With that being said, clearly man didn't learn much from the flood in which Noah and his family alone were saved. People still sin and are still worthy of death. But Jesus' death and resurrection on the cross paid the penalty of death for all who repent and put their trust in Him.

None of the gospels were written during the life of Jesus. They are memoirs of sorts, written by followers of Jesus, but not the 12 disciples. Most of the books of the New Testament were written by Paul, or men who were in the group of 70 disciples....at least according to tradition.
I can't speak much on the Old Testament, except that Jesus, according to the writings available, taught that the New Testament, fulfilled and replaced the Old Testament. That the law, as given and followed in the OT, was overcome by Love, and Grace in the NT. Testament just mean covenant, or promise agreed upon between two parties. So, the OT only became old, when a new one was entered into.
It puzzles me quite a bit that people who call themselves Christian pay so much attention to the OT. It is no longer in effect. Jesus teaches, according to the NT, that Loving God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself, fulfills all the law and the prophets. I think loving your neighbor as yourself puts an end to secularism. He doesn't say, love the people you like, or love the people who think the same way you do.

Gospels are the works of the disciples who basically jounalled for Jesus. They are seperated b/c the Old Testament was before Jesus' life and the New tells all about life with Jesus on earth. Noah had a special relationship with God that is why him and his family were spared to repopulate the world.

God has spoken many times to humanity and when He does it is usually written down to preserve what has been revealed by Him, the Old Testament records the first time that God spoke to ancient semitic peoples and led them to become a nation(the Hebrews) it also records that peoples experiences as they came to know God and the struggles they had in trying to be obedient and to serve God.
the New Testament records the awesome fact that God became like one of us in the person of Jesus Christ to help us understand God better and to save us from evil.
both these books which together form the Bible were written with Gods authority and by those who experienced first hand a real relationship with God.

Jesus did not help the disciples write the NT while he was on earth. The simple reason why it is separated is that during the translation of the Bible when the scrolls were found they decided to break it two parts, namely the OT and the NT. The Bible original writers did not do this it was done by the translators of the scrolls.

The Holy Spirit inspired the writings of both the Old and New Testaments. God alwas had a people, at least a remnant, that he was in relationship with. Redemption could not be complete until the perfect sacrifice was made. That was Jesus, the Lamb of God, slain for you and me.

whilst God is represented via LORD, in each occasion it could be YHWH or the accepted Hebrew Yahweh. present day english translators render it as Jehovah as in the King James Bible at Psalms eighty 3:18, Isaiah 26:4, and Isaiah 12:2. Jehovah is the main ordinarily commonly used call of God. God's Son Jesus is represented as Lord in the Scriptures which exhibits them to be, not using fact an analogous , yet distinctive.

I am not sure if this what you're looking for, but....... In the Old Test. days, falling short of the will of God was punishable by death. God wiped out cities and towns and eventually he flooded or " purged '' the earth. But then he sent his son, Jesus, to die in our place, for the forgiveness of our sins. Jesus died so that we wouldn't have to.

There are different fiction writers between the old testament , which the Jews also believe, and the new testament, which the Jews don't believe.
Other than that and 2,000 years of Popes rewriting the dang thing, I have no idea where they did it.
