The Bible consist of the stories of Prophets, Kings, disciples, apostles,the words of our Lord Jesus Christ himself and much much more.We know that the words were pinned by men. But not just any men. First of all the word is the Word of our living God. Dictated to righteous men by the Holy Spirit.The late Martin Luther said "We must know what we believe,namely, what God's Word says,not what the pope or the saintly fathers believe or say. For you must not rely on a person. You must rely on the Word of God alone" I find it very interesting to study theology among other things,including Bible History etc. Yet to pray and read Gods Word (The Bible), and receive answers and direction from the one who wrote it is an absolute must for me.So who wrote the Bible???
The Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost. A very good example is 2 Samuel 23:2 Quote from King David. "The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue" Also 2nd Peter 1:21 "For the prophesy came not in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. I know my subject matter is who wrote the Bible, but i must add that let us pray that our churches are once again moved by the Holy Ghost. A prayer: As sure as David's tongue was controlled by the Holy Ghost, so the apostle Peter was led by the Spirit to to utter the words that clever men did not write the Bible but the Spirit of God directed these men to speak, so Lord continue to lead us by the words from the Spirit,and not ours.Amen. So be it.
