Who wrote the Bible?

Hi! The gospel accounts were written by four different men.. Two had been disciples of Jesus.. Matthew and Joh.. the other two gospels were written by Mark, a sort of secretary to Peter, who had been a disciple of Jesus, and Luke a Greek convert who was a doctor and also worked closely with Peter and the others.. It's believed Mark and Luke based their gospels mostly on interviews. Luke even starts out saying he gathered the information and wrote it down so people would know the truth of what had occurred. I believe it is John who wrote about how he was writing those things they had witnessed, and how they had handled (or touched) Him, with their own hands, after His resurrection. These gospel testimonies have been dated to have been written about 30 years after the events. The bible says the spirit of God helps/helped them write, as they were "inspired by God". - The thing that strikes me the most is how the gospels agree in the overall story (and stories) but they differ in small details, like all eye witness accounts do. For instance in one account they return from a short journey "later that night" but in another version, it's said they returned "the next morning" - this to me jives true as to men's memories of things.. thirty years later. All these disciples, except one, were martyred. They would have given up by then had these events not so affected them!:) - That Jesus actually lived and made some sort of impact, is very much historically documented. It's said his existence or life has been more documented historically (outside of the bible) than any other life. Archeology digs up lots of things too, which supports the bible.. cities previously thought mere fiction because they were 'only' in the bible.. etc.. - Some things in the bible do sound contradictory to God and Jesus' nature.. Israel was ordered to destroy some nations! completely! But what we don't realize is how very deeply embedded in those early (foundation of the world) countries was the practice of offering children alive in fire, to 'the gods'- some very bad stuff was the status quo. Also God was very strict with tiny Israel for the purpose of a place for the rescuer of the world to be born into.. Some other things in the bible which some think of as God doing, were not God at all, but human beings who did them.. - Why were there so few who stood with Jesus when He was accused? I imagine the pharisees, etc, would likely pad the crowd..? ..all the best!

Im not a christian and will be given you my point of veiw. I believe that yes they could of wrote the new testment years after jesus was born and I think they even have scientific proff not sure though. If you look through history man have always looked for gods in other people they though that Alexander the Great was the son of Zues, Buddha isnt looked at like a god but really close, and there is others too. So whos to say that they didnt do the same thing with Jesus it just stuck b/c the early day christians killed anyone that didnt agree with them. If you also look at history I think its a Egyptian tablet written years b4 Exodus is the same story of a guy named Noah that survived a flood that was in that area only. So does this mean that the bible copyed this story? makes you think. then there is the Egyptians who kept a log on EVERYTHING but there is nothing about slaves called hebrews in there history. So where does this story come from? If you look and some of the things that Jesus says and the things that Buddha says they are almost identical. hum. well then what about the books of the Bible that the early day christains deleted out of it b/c they didnt like the veiws or it made Jesus look more like a man? Why also did the early day christians burn any book that they did not agree with and spoke of free will? humm this all made me think hard about myself when I was a christain and that is why i follow my heart not the words of some man that could and could not of been telling the truth. I dont think God would condem me for using my own brain do you?

Good Morning! I just wanted to say thank you for giving me best response. Hope you have a wonderful day! SheliaLee
