I have wanted to get some insight into the following for awhile now:
Why didn't Jesus author at least a portion of the Bible?
I ask for the following reason: Humans are imperfect, our perception of events and memories are imperfect, and our ability to describe things using language is imperfect. Jesus was perfect, and his understanding of God's message was as well: therefore, wouldn't Jesus be a better author than any of his disciples?
I know that the standard response is to say that God divinely inspired the Gospels, and so it is "like" God writing it...but that still does not address why Jesus, the son of God, did not write something directly while on earth. In other words, I have always wondered why God would use middlemen to spread His word when Jesus was here on earth and was sent to convey His message directly.
Serious replies only please! I am genuinely interested in thoughtful explanations.
