    Ah, yes, but a divinely-inspired human, no doubt, acting on God’s will to relay His message.

    Divine inspiration is a foundational concept in Christian theology, referring to the process by which God imparts His wisdom and guidance to humanity. This inspiration is most notably associated with the authorship of the Bible, where human writers were moved by the Holy Spirit to convey God’s truth. The power of divine inspiration is evident in the transformative impact of Scripture, its enduring relevance, and its ability to guide believers in faith and practice.

      Like I said, written by a human. The rest, like the entire Bible, or even religion itself, is also a human construct.

          Maybe, but a lot was written by neolithic goatherders telling stories to pass the time, in an age before Netflix. One guy had a good aptitude for making up good stories, and they got passed down.
