Why didn`t God write the bible himself?

Question

Do you think the word of God is indeed the bible i am curious how you can explain why God did not send a message all over the world and sent his message to one race. Try and explain how faith and logic can exist together

Answer 1

God only had the fax number to a certain number of brains on the planet, and they all happened to be in one place. I know that is an amazing coincidence, but really it is true that God could only talk to those people in that specific area of the middle east, bad connections through his cell phone to anywhere else on the planet. Plus the roaming charges were stacking up, etc. I am sure you will hear every excuse possible from people. Maybe it is because God had A.D.D. and started in the middle east/Israel location and then his mind wandered when it was to move on to send his message.

Answer 2

PLEASE READ!
The Bible is the word of God, It has a record writen by many people at different times of important events so they would be remembered for future generations.
2 Peter 1:21 gives some insight:
No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
God did not send his message to one race. It was just recorded by people around at the time.
Faith and logic can exist together. The universe was not always here. It has been proved because if had been the sun would have burned out, all radioactive atoms would have decayed, every part of the universe would be the same temperature, and no further work would be possible. So if it nothing was here before it all couldn't of just appeared. It had to be created. If it was created it had to have a creater...something creating itself is not logical. God created the universe. The universe is so amazing, it had to be created by God.

Answer 3

The Bible was never meant to be a unified document. Its many authors did not intend it to be seen as the "Word of God". It is a collection of religious theories, histories and individual perspectives. The concept of the "Word" is a Greek idea (logos) that refers to the nature of God as the creative logic behind the cosmos. It is often misinterpreted to refer to God's words, even though John says that God IS the Word. The Bible was put together by the Council of Nicaea in the third century CE to end confusion amongst believers about Jesus' relationship to God as "the logos".

As to why God spoke to a "chosen" people as opposed to all mankind, you need to look at the religious and historical context of Abraham's story. Abraham would have worshipped the numerous Mesopotamian gods, prior to his theophany. The promises and teachings made by this new god represent an ideological movement away from polytheism. Think of Abraham's story as a metaphor for this revelation.

It is important to remember that the stories of Abraham and the early years of Judaism were most likely written during the reigns of Josiah or Hezekiah (7th to 8th Century BCE) and so should be considered as retrospective accounts intended to explain the origins of Jewish monotheism, not document historical fact. It is only because the Judeo-Christian movement has become so pervasive that we question why God chose to reveal himself to a few. This is a fallacious notion. Our interpretation of "God" is created by people, not the other way around. Thus Yahweh did not chose the Jews, he was chosen by them, as their idea of what is divine and this idea was accepted by others.

Answer 4

Would people be more likely to accept that He had, if that were so? Faith is no more opposed to logic than beuty is opposed to gardening. Knowing the 'how' of plant growth should not take away the joy of a sweet smelling rose. Faith may well go beyond logic but is noy, by definition, illogical.
0n that basis you would have to say that love, affection, kindness, good manners, etc were all illogical.
Thje test of the Bible is that, put into practice, it works. eg It was the message of the Bible that was the sole motivation behind Wilberforce's determination to see slavery abolished. (Illogical? Maybe...but I for one am glad he was so motivated)
0n a much lower level, so am I

Answer 5

Logically, God's Holy Word was spread through faithful people whom He entrusted with His Message; to all humans.

Whenever someone uses "their opinions", to explain something about God, Jesus Christ, or His Holy Word. They are in fact breaking one of His Commandments - Do not commit Idolatry.

A person can't have faith, in something that they are not able to comprehend.

The questions that are being asked on 'Yahoo Answers' are not new, they are just repeated from previous generations.

Answer 6

It is very rare for faith and logic to exist together - if something is explainable by logic there is little need to profess your faith in it. You wouldn't walk into a room and declare your faith in the light switchs' ability to make light appear!

Similarly if God had materialised in Waterstones and said "Here is my book, which I have written" few people would feel the need to have faith in him.

For whatever reason, God requires us to have faith in him. I believe one way or another he has done this all over the world - there are religions all over the world.

Answer 7

YES THE WORD OF GOD IS REAL
The bible is a book primarily about GODS revelation of himself to mankind and his relationship with people its not just a book of history but its account of God's dealings with individuals and nations which are as relevant today as they were back in the old day. The old testament tells the story of God and His people, and contains poetry wisdom prophecy and history and the New Testament tells the history, the four Gospel matthew mark luke and john (Acts)telling us of the birth life and death of Jesus Christ and its significance to every member of the human race, its also contains the letters from the Romans to Jude giving guidance and teaching and were written to correct weakness and mistake, the phrophecy is the last book of Revelation which tells of the things yet to happen as part of God's plan to save the human race and its final defeat of Satan and the power of evil reinforcing the warnings of the whole bible regarding the consequences of rejecting God's light and love. If you have a problem or situation there is a seed for every problem/moment and how to overcome it in the bible -

Answer 8

isn't thrilling to be conscious how the Christians have self assurance their cult e book to be the sole holy textual content cloth from God, yet they do no longer renowned the different so called sacred, holy texts. i will record all religious books, why do the Christians think of their religious texts is from now on suited than the rest? - Christians: Bibles, Christian apocrypha and Early Christian Literature Deuterocanonical Apocrypha - Muslims: Quran, Hadith, Sunnah - Jews: Torah, Neviim, Ketuvim, Talmud, Hebraic Literature: Extracts from the Talmud, Midrash and Kabbalah - Hindus: Vedas: Rig, Atharva, Sama, Yajur, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads - Buddhists: Dhammapada, Saddharma Pundarika, Mahayana Texts, Digha Nikaya - Confucianism: Confucian Analects, Mencius, Doctrine of the advise, the great getting to understand - Taoism: Tao te Ching, Chuang Tzu - Shinto: Kojiki, Nihongi - - Sikhs: Holy Guru Granth Sahib - Bahai: Kitab I Aqdas, Kitab I Iqan - Zoroastrians: Zend Avesta

Answer 9

Because he is everything and yet nothing. He is everywhere and yet nowhere. He doesnot have to write to make us understand. Would you believe you see a book in a language that you may or may not understand and someone tells you God wrote it? I suppose not. Because people expect God to do something super-natural. Just to see and get entertained.
God is the logic. He is the faith.

Answer 10

I think the heart of God is in the bible.
But it's the word of man.
God didn't write it himself because look at all the blood shed over what man pretending to be God wrote.
Could you imagine how much MORE God's actual word would have been twisted to fit man's desires,
Not to mention that if GOD did write it, and we all knew it, then there woudl be no d*mn argument about it. The people in power could twist the words and create a horrible dictatorship.





Oh...
waite it already happened.
