Introduction:

The Question Everyone Asks (and the One They Don’t)

One of the most common objections to Christianity today goes something like this: “The Bible was written by a bunch of humans—there’s no way it can be accurate or true.”

At first glance, that sounds reasonable.

After all, humans are flawed, biased, and historically messy.

But here’s the problem:

That argument collapses under its own weight.

The Bible was written by around 40+ authors, over 1,500 years,

and across three continents,

in three languages—

yet it tells one unified story.

That alone makes it historically unusual.

But the deeper issue isn’t who held the pen.

The real issue is whether God was guiding the message.

And that’s where the conversation usually gets uncomfortable.

Humans Wrote the Bible—That’s Not a Secret

Let’s clear the smoke first.

Yes, the Bible was written by humans:

• Kings and shepherds
• Prophets and priests
• Fishermen, doctors, and tax collectors

No serious Christian scholar disputes this. The Bible itself openly admits it. What it also claims—repeatedly—is divine inspiration, not divine dictation.

If “humans wrote it” disqualifies truth, then:

• All ancient history collapses
• Every legal system fails
• Science textbooks become fiction

Human authorship does not negate truth. Consistency, corroboration, and coherence are what matter.

Remarkably, across dozens of authors and centuries, the Bible presents a unified message without contradiction in its core doctrines.

One Story, Not 40 Competing Ones

Here’s where the argument starts to wobble.

Despite its many authors, the Bible presents one continuous narrative:

• Creation
• Humanity’s fall
• Moral law
• Rebellion
• Redemption
• Restoration

That’s not normal.

Humans don’t accidentally agree across centuries—

Especially on theology, morality, and prophecy.

The internal consistency of Scripture is one of its strongest arguments,

not its weakness.

The Old Testament and the Coming Messiah

Now let’s talk about something critics often skip.

The Old Testament speaks of a coming Messiah over 300 times, depending on how strictly you count direct prophecies versus typological references.

Conservative estimates land around 300–350 messianic references spread across the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms.

These include:

• His lineage
• His birthplace
• His suffering
• His rejection
• His death
• His vindication

What makes this uncomfortable for skeptics is timing:

These texts existed centuries before Jesus of Nazareth.

You can argue interpretation—but you can’t argue chronology.

Why the Bible Doesn’t Read Like Human Propaganda

If humans invented Christianity for power or control, they did a terrible job.

The Bible:

• Exposes its heroes’ failures
• Shows leaders doubting God
• Records moral collapse honestly
• Centers redemption on sacrifice, not dominance

This isn’t how propaganda is written. It’s how truthful history is written—warts and all.

The Question People Should Be Asking (But Rarely Do)

Here’s where we pivot to the real debate.

Instead of asking:

“Was the Bible written by humans?”

A better question is:

"Which books were left out and why?"

“Which books were left out—and why?”

And that leads directly to Constantine.

Did Constantine Decide the Bible?

Short answer:

No—but he influenced the environment.

Constantine did not sit down and hand-pick the books of the Bible. What he did do was:

• Legalize Christianity (313 AD)
• End state persecution
• Fund the copying of Scriptures
• Call councils to address theological disputes

The biblical canon was largely recognized, not invented, by the early church. Most New Testament books were already widely accepted long before Constantine.

So What About the “Lost Books”?

Books like:

• The Gospel of Thomas
• The Gospel of Judas
• Other Gnostic writings

These were excluded not because they were dangerous, but because they:

• Became known at a later date
• Contradicted eyewitness testimony
• Lacked apostolic authority
• Promoted secret knowledge over public truth
• Most believe they were left out because they were the most radical, showing God's true hand at work, talking about clouds and weather patterns. The stars and what they mean and their true purpose. this is just 2 examples of the content left out.
• People also believe that books were left out because if people knew to much of truth, they would become uncontrollable. Authorities want to keep their people dumbed down on what is truth. Not know truth, makes a person easier to control.

Final Thought:

The Question Behind the Question

When someone says, “Humans wrote the Bible, so it can’t be true,”

what they’re often really saying is:

“If The Bible Is Really True, It Changes Things—

I’m not sure I want that.”

What the bible does when you come to terms, that these words really did come from God!

It points out how you have been listening to the voices within your mind that come from the flesh, "Not Your Spirit"

How you have been feeding the flesh and ignoring what your spirit really needs to flourish on this planet

The Bible doesn’t demand blind faith.

It invites honest investigation.

The deeper you look, the harder it becomes to dismiss.
