King David, who had been a sheperd boy, is supposedly the author of the 23rd psalm ("The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."). The apostle John supposedly wrote the Book of Revelation -- so why did it take so long to surface? And nobody really knows who wrote the Book of Genesis. But this video provides some clues. What do you think?
Keeping in mind that according to scripture, God alone is the real author, speaking through various people -- who exactly did he speak through and what were their lives like?

What?
"Woven together over a period of a thousand years"?
Wasn't it more like 2,000 to 3,000 years?
One thing that was interesting was looking at the proportion of words in the Bible that are the actual words of God. Would this includes old testament quotations as well as the teaching of Jesus in the Gospels. The movie didn't say, I wish they had actually said what the percentage was.
I'm going to guess about 4%.
Jerry Falwell and the Rabbi disagree!
The Rabbi said that God "dictated" the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) verbatim.
Falwell said that God inspired the Bible, but that the personalities of the authors, like Paul, influenced the Word.
That is a basically saying that human beings, even if Divinely inspired, injected their own thoughts, ideas and personality into the Bible! I didn't know Falwell was so open-minded.
