Why didn't Jesus write his message by himself? (Buddhists, church, Mary)

[yydanay515]

God doesn't do easy. That's Staples.

He rose from the dead. That's better than a book. I think the word was the part responsible for writing books. He lived the word. He did write a book by fulfilling the scripture. His life was the word, which wrote the books. If he were just a man, he might have needed to write books himself. Instead he came as the son of God and that means he was there from the beginning to the end of the word.

Would you ask the son of God to sit down ands write you a book? He was there before, and after. He is.

That's why the Bible is there. As a living testament of his word. He fulfilled his own word that was written about his coming and his death. He will fulfill his word that is yet to come. That's a pretty nifty book if you ask me. You tell me that you're coming in the future to die, tell me how it happens, and then come, die, and raise yourself.

I've already read that one.

Well then. Do you want him to come down to you to prove it? He has his own time frame that is revealed to us through the book you already read. Read it again.

Hey - that was your 666th post!

I won't be re-reading. I'll wait and see for myself.

Its cool. He doesn't want anyone to be lost. I'm not a time-keeper, or a judge.

Dare I say that you do not want us to read it but rather to believe it? Your assumption is that the more someone reads a book, the more likely they are to take its words as truth. A part I hated about my Catholic upbringing was having to memorize the gospel according to Matthew, I'm afraid 100 or so times were not enough and it was all for naught anyways since I've forgotten most of it.

Jesus did write it down! The bible is the inspired word of God - Jesus is God in flesh, so there you are!!!
