In the New Testament the Jews did write it because they were Jews, Jesus was a Jew. His mother and father were Jews. Judas was a Jew. All the Apostles were Jews. I guess you could say that Christianity was a Jewish religion at the beginning,

Actually, the Bible is made of the Old Testament, which was said to be originally written by Hebrews, and the New Testament, which was written by Greeks. The Septuigent were Hebrew-Greeks who translated the Old Testament and printed it for the first time. The Apocrapha is a collection of books that did not have a consensus agreement in making the final edition.

According to the Old Testament, the bible was given to the Jewish people by GOD (not sure how much truth there is to that). The New Testament was written by profits who knew of the word of GOD(or so they claim) more then 400 years after death of Christ. At that time they were not Jewish, they were Christian.

The Word was God, and the Word was from God. Men put the word in a book. Yes, the new testament is mainly wirtten by Jewish men. The epistles of Paul are written by a Gentile.

Young Seeker,
It is said to be the "Inspired Writings of GOD". Thru the HOLY SPIRIT, GOD inspired the writings of the BIBLE. I know that nearly all of the writers were Israelites. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks,

Paul was a Jew (followed Judaism) even though he had been a Gentile. He became a Christian. THEN wrote the Letters which are called Epistles of the BIBLE.

God wrote nothing, and, no one in the old or new testament ever saw God. Did you know that God told Job that if anyone ever saw him, the would die immediatley ? But, according to the Bible, he did speak to many people.

It is considered the inspired WORD of God, given to men to write down. The Jews were the ones who wrote it because God had called them as a people to be his chosen ones, who would tell the world the story of God's love for us, how we are to live with one another, and how we are to receive redemption and restoration.

For prophesy never came by the will of man but holy men of God spoke as the spirit moved in them. 2 Peter 1:21

Who says God wrote the Bible? I always thought it was known that the Bible is the "inspired Word of God" written by men of God.

Jesus didn't write anything. Jesus is completely irrelevant to the Torah and to Judaism, except as a false messiah.
The first set of tablets were written by the finger of God, as it says in the Torah. These were the tablets Moses broke when he came down off the mountain and saw the Golden Calf being worshipped.
The second set of tablets, Moses wrote with his own hands, as dictated by God. As it says in the Torah.
This is the tradition in Judaism according to the Torah.
