Was jesus not supposedly a living human? Was he not supposedly a educated individual? If jesus was the sun of god and thus perfect why did he not write his own word? And thus be sure people get his version and not what someone else says he said. How can you still believe this nonsense?

When you consider that thr great pyramid was built 3000 years before Christ you would think they would have invented a writing utensil by the year 0.

Actually He is the Son of God and not the sun of God. The reason He didn't handwrite a book Himself, is that books (the old testament) already existed and He only had 3 1/2 years to minister to the people. The human connections that He made at the time, showed who He was. As we have seen in the Bible, there were plenty other individuals who were receptive to divine intervention who had LOTS of time to write it.
EDIT: He did "magically" whip up His own teachings.... by Holy Inspiration.

The Nag Hammadi Gospels include a couple of books full of the words of Jesus: The Gospel of Thomas and the Sophia of Jesus Christ. They are older than the gospels in the Bible.
His disciples became his books as they wrote down his message for us to read. The early Church destroyed many of these ancient manuscripts but the Gospels of Thomas, Philip, Mary Magdalene etc. were hidden in a large jar and were found in the sixties near Nag Hammadi in Egypt. They have finally been translated and published.
It's interesting that you said Jesus was the sun of God instead of the son. He has been identified as a solar messiah. Your subconscious seems to know (or to gnow as a gnostic might say, gnosis means knowledge).

About 2000 years ago, Jesus was God clothed in a human body.
We know Jesus could read. He was invited to read and comment on the scriptures, which he did one Sabbath in the synagogue at Nazareth. He also knew and quoted the writings of Hillel, an earlier Jewish sage. So yes, he was educated.
He did not need to write his own book, so that we could merely read about him, because he did not expect to stay dead. He still speaks and he is still as good as his Word. Only people who expect to be dead, need to write a will.

The New Testament was written by literary artists lending their art to a theological movement, the common practice of crediting the gospels to the people who supposedely witnessed these events began in the late 2nd century, they were no more than 2nd century guesses of blank manuscripts, and now the evidence is outstanding that first two gospels were based off a manuscript, known as the Gospel of Q. Most people were not literate to a great extend in those times.
To the person above me, no, they were all written within 100 years of Jesus's death. There is a secular agreement on this point. Speaking as an atheist I would not lie.
The first full manuscripts, you are correct, date back to the 4th century. Though you must understand how language was passed down back then, through scribes who were trained to make little to no errors in translating pieces of work. Because we have hundreds of 4th century manusripts, any errors, or rare personal addages, can be spotted pretty easily.

Would it have made a difference whether he wrote a book or not? People still would not have believed him. Think of the story of Lazarus and the rich man. He had to go to hades and be tormented before he believed and wanted to warn his brothers. But the message to him was they did not believe the prophets, they did not believe His son even after his miracles, why would they believe you? If you see it it is no longer faith. People still would have something to say if Jesus had written the book himself and signed his name on it. Most of the people who actually lived and were surrounded by Jesus did not believe in Him, even when they saw him heal the sick and raise the dead, which is why he was crucified. So I don't think it would have mattered he wrote a book or if he was still alive today preforming miracles you still would not believe in Him.

GOD CAN WRITE AND SPEAK.
God is a person and can both write and speak.
He wrote on
- The two "Tables of Testimony" on stone (Ex 31:18)
- The wall of Belshazzar's Palace (Dan. 5:5, 24-28)
The whole Bible was His word and was written by HIS DIRECT Inspiration. Author of the Bible is God not any Human.
66 books - 39 in Old Testament and 27 in New Testament.
Written by about 40 different authors -
by Kings (David and Solomon)
by Statesmen (Daniel and Nehemiah)
by Priests (Ezra)
by men learned in the wisdom of Egypt (Moses)
by men learned in Jewish Law (Paul)
by Herdsman (Amos)
by Tax-gatherer (Matthew)
by Fishermen (Peter, James and John)
by Physician (Luke)
by mighty seers (Isaiah, Ezekiel and Zechariah)
These 40 authors didnt write their own words but "The word of God"

does no longer all of us want to ascertain those. no longer something that Jesus wrote exists that all of us be attentive to of. If it did it may be lots closer to the "be attentive to God" than the Bible. that's a factor of why i do no longer think of the Bible is the be attentive to God. i think of Jesus knew how misinterpreted and manipulated words can exchange into and subsequently lived in a fashion that would enable us to maintain on with in His footsteps inspite of what anybody wrote approximately Him. seem at how poorly the written be conscious worked out in Islam. It has stored the religion interior the ninth century.

He was a bit busy to be writing a book dumbass, they didn't exactly have a flourishing publishing arm in Pre-AD Jerusalem.
If you weren't a dumbass you would learn how to read and write for yourself the "sun" of God, riiiiiight. You obviously believe anything that anyone chooses to put in written form, believe me when I say you are a dumbass.

Jesus didn't have time to write. Read one of the Gospels. Try Mark. It's short. He had to sneak away just to have time to pray. A person who heals the sick was in high demand in that day and age.
