Couldn't YOUR GOD write his own books? Didn't he have a typewriter and a printer? Not so advanced after all??

Answer 1

The Bible was written by Jewish men. At that time, Jewish women were illiterate. Women’s work was more mundane. As put by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s minister of propaganda: “Kinder, Kirche, und Kuche”. Nowadays, they are doctors, lawyers, professors, and accountants. Some of them are rabbis, but only in the “Reformed” temple, so they are not acceptable to “Orthodox” Jews.

The Old Testament is a collection of writings by many scholars over many centuries. Some of it has an historic basis, some is conjecture, some is myth, some is philosophy, some is law, some is poetry, and all of it is literature - sometimes great literature, especially in its King James translation.

Abraham Lincoln received only two years of formal elementary schooling from an uncertified teacher in a one room frontier schoolhouse. But he had two books: Shakespeare’s Works and the Bible. These he read late into the night until the candle gave out. In England, he is considered to be one of the finest writers in their language. The Gettysburg Address and his letter to Mrs. Bixby are thought to be among the most beautiful pieces of English prose.

While the women worked, Jewish men would study previous writings preserved on parchment scrolls, copied and recopied tediously, in a Hebrew calligraphy. They would debate their meanings, and, occasionally, add a new entry. Just as human slavery permitted Thomas Jefferson to write important documents, women’s work permitted these scholars to create the Old Testament. That division of labor is maintained to this day among certain groups.

My mother’s father, as a boy of thirteen years preparing for his confirmation, fell asleep late at night on a bench in a very cold village synagogue near Minsk, on the road from Warsaw to Moscow. He developed pneumonia and survived with a cough that I can still hear. But he was healthy otherwise, swimming across the East River (before it was polluted) near Brooklyn.

These old Jewish men claimed to be inspired by their “God”. There is a stage between wake and sleep, when the candle at its end begins to smoke and the eyelids droop, when the mind runs on “empty” in a dream-like state and short-term memory is weakened. The following morning, after tea and toast, with a fresh eye, the scholar looks at his work from the previous night and says to himself: “I don’t remember writing this. It must have been done by You-know-Who!”

Never underestimate the power of dreams.

Answer 2

You are confusing.

Whose God are you talking about?

Typewriters aren't advanced FYI.

Typewriters don't hook up to printers FYI.

Also, God doesn't need a printer or a computer, he has an angel and a prophet, what else do ya need?

God is actually writing his own book, because I don't think Muhammed (pbuh.. first time I said that *Cheer*) changed the Quran, and Muhammed got the Quran from an angel sent by God, so the Quran IS from God.. (Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think I am!)

Answer 3

He wrote the Ten Commandments. And yes He had a typewriter/printer, of the human kind, such as Jesus' disciples.

Answer 4

He is Spirit. He can do anything. he choose writers of varying backgrounds to write an amazing book, containig 66 books. Amazing!

Answer 5

God left his guidance within my heart.
His maps within my head.
And his words floating upon the winds of my soul.

No book necessary!

Answer 6

Would you write your own memos to every bunch of monkeys you happen to set up in the universe? You've got to delegate.

Answer 7

According to Cecil B. DeMille He could write with lightening fingers in stone.

Answer 8

And how many drafts did it go through, for cryin' out loud? I think all those editors made an unholy mess.

Answer 9

Why should he? We are supposed to learn from it, so we should do the work. He created us.

Also, it would be nice for someone-such as yourself-to have tact when asking such questions. You are not superior to everyone and do not have any right in thinking so. Or do you have superpowers?

Answer 10

No one I know 'has' their own gods. It appears the gods have them.
