Claud: I gotta dumb question for you. Who wrote the New Testament?
BW: God.

That's a mohammedan, or mormon approach to scripture.

It is not at all Christian (or even Jewish). There's a huge world of difference between "God wrote it" and "God inspired human authors when they wrote it". With the exception of the commandments on Mt. Sinai, the Bible was written by a variety of human authors, all enlightened and protected from error by God.

Semantics.
