Would Jesus be a little better qualified than mortal men to write the bible? He Didn't do anything until he was like 30 anyways, instead of being a carpenter why didn't he spend the time to say what God really meant and not the cryptic, contradictory BS that we have today?

If he had used angels to write the inspired Word, would the Bible have the same appeal? Granted, angels could have portrayed Jehovah from their lofty viewpoint and could have expressed their own devotion to him. But would we really have been able to identify with the perspective of perfect spirit creatures, whose knowledge, experience, and strength are far superior to our own?—Hebrews 2:6, 7. The use of human penmen gives the Bible tremendous warmth and appeal. Its writers were men with feelings like ours. Being imperfect, they faced trials and pressures similar to our own. In some cases, they wrote in the first person about their own feelings and struggles. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) So they penned words that no angel could have expressed.

No-one "wrote the Bible". The Apostles wrote letters and short historical synopses as necessary for their ministry. The Church, over 3 centuries later, decided to collect some of these writings into a single volume. That's when the Bible came into being.

In a sense he did. The Gospels are filled with His words. The apostle Paul wrote: "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. " So we know that the doctrine in the Epistles comes in large part directly from Christ through relevation.

If all the bibles were to disappear from the face of the earth it wouldn't effect my relationship with him.
Try this - Rather than placing your faith in a book. Try putting it in Jesus.
