I got most of this information from Wikipedia. If you have any questions about a particular book, I suggest you research it yourself. How many books of the New Testament do most scholars consider undisputedly authored by definitively known persons? Going by this list, seven, maybe eight. Those are all written by Paul. 7/27= approx. 26%. Paul says he recieved all his info about Jesus from personal revelation. How reliable is that? How many people would you believe if they told you they had a revelation from a god, and that you should obey it? Why should you believe them if you have not had the same revelation?

The majority of the content of the New Testament comes to us from people without credentials. A geat deal of it is contradictory. Most of its events have no, contemporary to that time, extra-biblical evidence to support that they actually happened. Most of the people mentioned in its pages have no, contemporary to that time, extrabiblical evidence that they actually existed. Not one of the books themselves claims to be divinely inspired or the  word of a god. Why should we take these writings so seriously that we would give our time and resources to promoting them as divinely inspired/authored? Not to mention condemning those who don't.

Who wrote the bible? Old Testament.

Before we move on to 3rd John, I thought I would do some posts about the authors of the bible. Christianity never really addresses a major issue with the bible texts. That is that most of the authors of the 66 books of the bible are actually unknown. Lets take a look at the Old Testament.

Genesis: attributed to Moses, author/authors actually unknown.
Exodus: attributed to Moses, author(s) actually unknown.
Leviticus: attributed to Moses, author(s) actually unknown.

Ruth: sometimes attributed to Samuel,  authors(s) actually unknown.
1 & 2 Samuel: Sometimes attributed to Samuel, Gad, and Nathan, author(s) actually unknown.
1 &2 Kings: sometimes attributed to Jeremiah,  author(s) actually unknown.
1 & 2 Chronicles: sometimes attributed to Ezra, author(s) actually unknown.
Ezra: attributed to Ezra, disputed because it appears highly edited

Joel: attributed to Joel, portions possibly authentic, but highly edited and borrowed from others
Amos: attributed to Amos, portions possibly authentic but highly edited and borrowed from others.
Obadiah: attributed to Obadiah, possibly authentic but unconfirmed
Jonah: sometimes attributed to Jonah, author(s) actually unknown.
Micah: attributed to Micah, portions possibly authentic but highly edited and borrowed from others.
Nahum: attributed to Nahum, possibly authentic, though  almost nothing is known about Nahum.
Habakuk: attributed to Habakkuk, possibly authentic, almost nothing is known about Habakkuk.
Zephaniah: attributed to Zephaniah who is not mentioned anywhere else, in the bible or history.
Haggai:attributed to Haggai, possibly authentic?
Zechariah: attributed to Zechariah but appears to have more than one author.
Malachi: attributed to Malachi which may not even be the name of an individual, disputed, unknown.

*"Borrowed from others" means there are phrases that are direct quotes of, or allusions to, passages in other bible books, or extrabiblical writings. The information here is what I could glean from the Wikipedia article on each book. You can examine other sources if you wish.

Not one of these books is known for sure to actually be the unedited writing of the author that it is attributed to. At least 17 out of  39 of the books' authors are absolutely unaccounted for. In my opinion that should be 39/39 but I'm being generous. Is this a book you want to trust with your life? Do you have reason to believe it is the inspired word of a god when the authors can't even be vouched for?

Aron Ra and the Mythical Man

I recommend  a video that Aron Ra just posted. It is a lecture he gave about his thoughts on the mythical Jesus. His basic premise is that if Jesus did exist, he wasn't the Jesus we find in the Bible stories. That man is probably a compilation of multiple historic Jesuses combined with mythological and legendary elements. The video is 40 minutes long but worth watching.
