Edited to add " the authors of the Bible that is"
TT, that God guided the scribe's translations and transcriptions is faith-based. There are religious institutions that do not accept that Jesus was the Messiah including Jews. Judaism holds that he was the most damaging of the "false messiahs". If Jesus was a false-messiah, then God has not made a recorded embodied appearance on earth. Therefore, there is no evidence that he personally guided the transcriptions unless you have faith that he did it through Spirit. Which is why his influence on the Bible has to be taken as faith-based. I know many here know that but the reason I state it is that some preachers make it sound like God was in the room telling the scribes word for word what to write. This is why I balked in response to Deepsouth's request that I discuss how the Bible is the "the word of God" from an Atheist perspective.
All goes to demonstrate that the Great Religions of the World (there are five) cannot agree with each other on something as significant as whether Jesus was the father, the son and the holy spirit or just a man making the false claim that he is the Messiah.
Had to get a reference to remember the Five, taken from a book I have had many years:
Great Religions of the World, 1971, 1978.
Hinduism
Buddhism
Judaism
Islam
Christianity
