    Who Is the Author of the Bible?

    If men wrote the text of the Bible, why is it called “the word of God”? (1 Thessalonians 2:13) How could God transmit his thoughts to humans?

    Please watch this video and it will answer your question, When was the Bible written:  https://www.jw.org/finder?docid=502016852&prefer=l...

    The Bible was written by some 40 men over the course of 1,600 years. Some men were used to write more than one book of the Bible. In fact, the Bible is a miniature library of 66 books. It consists of the 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures, called by many the Old Testament, and the 27 books of the Christian Greek Scriptures, often called the New Testament.

    The Bible was written by some 40 different men over a period of 1,600 years, beginning in 1513 B.C.E.  It is made up of 66 books. The Bible was inspired by God. So God in heaven, not any human on earth, is the Author of the Bible. - 2 Tim. 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1: 20,21.

    The Bible is a self referencing circular correspondence, existing in and of itself without reference to the usual constraints of a book needing to be "written". It exists in and of itself. When I was a child I thought as a child, now that I am a man I think as a man, an obvious and self evident statement quoted dramatically as though it were not fatuous. The purple-tongued sage opened his mouth and wagged his tongue and spake, The Earth shall shake and there shall be wars and rumours of wars and on other days it just rains.

    The 73 texts were written in many different times and places. However, the book we know as the Bible was not compiled by the bishops of the Catholic Church until the mid-4'th Century.

    The sixty-six books we know as the Bible were written over a period of a little over 1600 years, beginning in 1513 B.C.E. with the writer Moses, and ending with the apostle John's last written book in about 96 or 98 C.E.

    The Bible was written (penned) over a period of 1,500 years +or-. It's first 5 books were penned by Moses, during the 40 year Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The final book of the Bible (Revelation) was penned by the Apostle John at the end of the 1st century AD (CE). Of it's 66 individual books, several writers penned more than one of them. 40 different men scribed the texts. The Bible itself is a Volume of selected sacred books collated into one complete volume. No books written before Moses', nor after John's Revelation are considered part of the accepted cannon of the Church.

    The Bible was complete in the 90s AD.  Here is the truth: The Lord Jesus Christ is God. Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, or not. The truth is that the Lord Jesus Christ loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. It is too late to be saved, after death.

    .

    Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future and means going to heaven. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that the Lord Jesus Christ is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus was buried, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing on Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven
