Thank God He wrote it down.

Would that be the KJV?

No, your church/organization doctrine. See, anyone can play your stupid game when you have nothing to offer.

Yes. Jesus came at the summoning by James VI of Scotland (oops James the Pederast of England, I mean), and in front of a joint meeting of Parliament, agreed to take on their commission to write the KJV of the Bible. So, he sat down in the back room with some good port, and that newfangled pipe stuff - yeah tobacco, that's it, and whacked out the KJV and hey presto, presented it to Parliament who in straight majority votes overwhelmingly patted Jesus on the head and said "good boy". Then it was printed, bound, and many thousands of copies were sent back through time with Jesus so that Jesus and all the Apostles could know just what was expected of them and in what order. Any day now, the next set of scrolls from Qumran in perfect English will be found and presented to the world.

Oh, wait a minute: if Jesus wrote the KJV, why have there been so many revisions? One after another? Oh wait, why are there margin notes with alternative translations if the translators were inspired by God? Oh wait, why is the 1611 version complete with the Deuterocanonicals? Oh wait, why did the KJV rely so heavily on Erasmus, when Erasmus retrotranslated portions of the Bible from Latin back into Greek?

The only New Testament book we know was commanded be written by God was Revelation.

The New Testament was written when the original Apostles and disciples realized that Jesus was not coming back in their lifetimes. The Holy Spirit guided by the promise of Jesus protected them from writing error, and then under that same promise guided the Church to know which books are Scriptural.

Thanks be to the Holy Spirit.
