1. Of course Jesus didn't write the Bible. He didn't have to. He inspired the writers of the Bible all through the ages, that is why the Bible is in complete untiy from Genesis to Revelation. In fact the Bible says He is the
Word.
John 1:1-5, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:14,
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
2. By disciple I assume you mean the original twelve who were with Jesus during His earthly mission. Matthew was a disciple and wrote the gospel of Matthew and John who was a disciple too wrote The Gospel of John, First John, Second John, Third John and The Book of Revelation. These are all books in the Bible.
3. You don't have to meet Jesus to know Him. If you accept Him as your personal saviour, follow His commandments, study the Word, we will find Jesus and we will know Him.
4. Again, you don't have to meet anyone who knows Jesus or Jesus physically to get to know Him. Its a great privilege to meet Him but most people do not have to, not in the flesh anyway. We can meet Him spiritually if we open out hearts to Him. Judas met Jesus and walked with Him during most of His earthly mission and still betrayed Him. He was with God and still did not believe. We can get to know Jesus personally without ever meeting Him in the flesh. The story of the apostle Thomas teaches us that. After Jesus died he appeared to the apostles but Thomas was not with them. The apostles told him they'd seen the Lord but Thomas did not believe them. He said,
John 20:25, "The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe." Lets let the Bible complete the story.
Vs 26-29, "
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
5. No, the Bible has no unsolvable contradictions. Those who say there are contradictions, come from a lack of understanding. The reason is that spiritual things
“are spiritually discerned”.
1 Corinthians 2:13-
14,
"Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
The deep things of the Word will never be understood by a worldly mind, no matter how brilliant. Unless one honestly seeks an experience with God, he or she cannot understand the things of God. The Holy Spirit, who explains the Bible (
John 16:13; 14:26), is not understood by the
secular mind. On the other hand, the humble, even uneducated, seeker who studies the Bible receives amazing understanding from the Holy Spirit (
Matthew 11:25; 1 Corinthians 2:9, 10).
6. True, you don't find the phrase Trinity in the Bible. The word "trinity" comes from the word "tri" meaning three. For instance, tricycle means a cycle with three wheels. So the word "Trinity" simply means triune plus deity. It's a combination: tri-inity. The teaching of one God made up of three persons is very biblical. Unfortunately, many take the number one as a solely numerical idea. Yet in Hebrew, it meant simply unity. Jesus said baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you can find three distinct Individuals outlined in the Bible.
Matthew 28:19,
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" 2 Corinthians 13:13-14, "All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen." 1 John 5:7, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
7. In the Bible there is no Abrahamic faith that teaches one true God without any equal. The Old and new testaments are all about salvation through Christ. No one is going to heaven who did not believe in salvation through Jesus Christ. Those who entered into salvation in the Old Testament were those who trusted the merits of the blood of Jesus Christ, and they demonstrated their faith by bringing a lamb and slaying it. They looked forward in faith to the atoning death of Jesus. We look back in faith to the same death and are saved in exactly the same way. Be very certain that the entire redeemed host throughout eternity will be singing the same song of deliverance, exalting the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world.
8. No the trinity was not adopted 300 years after Christ. The teaching of one God made up of three persons is very biblical. I've already shown you texts that say The father, Son and Holy Spirit are one. How can they be three in one? Again, in the Bible and in Hebrew one means/meant unity. Jesus said a man leaves his father and mother, cleaves unto his wife, they become one flesh. Well they're two in reality. We know they're two separate, distinct persons. They're now one unit of a family. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are united in their purpose of creation, of redemption, and saving man. You know there in Genesis, it tells us God said,
'Let Us make man in Our Image.' And later when man sinned, God said,
'man has become like Us [plural].' So you find all the way from Genesis to Revelation the teaching of God being a Triune God. The Angels say,
'Holy, Holy, Holy' for each member of the Godhead in Isaiah chapter 6.
