Here is a question I have about Jesus. Why didn’t he take the time to write anything down himself?

As I understand it, the basic message of Christianity is this: That God had a message so important for human kind that it would provide a way for each individual to avoid everlasting torment in hell. To do this he had to become a human in the form of Jesus Christ to bring this message to humankind.

So he shows up in the bronze age, and instead of spending his 33 or so years on writing this message down clearly in way that would not be confusing, he relies on the visions and dreams of people who didn’t bother to write about what he said until many years after he died.

If Jesus was the incarnation of the mind of God, couldn’t he have been the most compelling, persuasive author of all time? Couldn’t he have written down this message in all know human languages?

Instead the message of Christianity relies on copies of copies of copies of writings where no originals exist, and different account in the gospels have contradictions and discrepancies.

The people today have to take it on faith that the New Testament writers got it correct, and 2000 years later there are groups of remote people who still haven’t been reached with this message.

This doesn’t sound like a very well thought out plan.
