Old Testament is the dominant religion. This god rules through absolute power. He is a vengeful jealous and blood thirsty god.
Jesus comes along and starts waking people up. He says his God is all loving compassionate and would never demand you worship anything. He says their god is the devil.
The powers that be don't like this so they kill him. Then to keep people from completely revolting they change the story. They tell everyone that Jesus was one of them the whole time and he HAD TO DIE
for OUR sins. He did it for us.
Guilt trip city.
There's the New Testament.
Fast forward 2,000 years and here we are.

In his Word. Maybe in the guy or gal on the street begging for a little change to eat. Maybe in the person in the car you are trying to cut in front of that backs off and lets you in. He is in the lives of His followers, in the lives of the hurting and broken. He is in the lives of the healed and the happy and joyful. He is in his word, OT/NT, He is the Word. You see Him everyday in the glorious sun rise, the beautiful sunset, in the chubby cheeks of an infant smiling at you. He is in the pain and agony of the cancer ward, in the prisons where the broken and spent are left to rot. He is the cop giving you a ticket so you slow down and not kill yourself or someone else. He is in the doctor that finds out exactly what your ailment is and finds a way to get you cured. He is in you Mother, father, brother, sister. If you truly seek Him you will find Him. He is waiting.

So he who reads this book and talk of me, teachs others on the words told by me, only to profess his love through a holy book clearly put together by my enemy.
Yet i say to all of u please tell me who wrote this book of me? For is it not true it is not signed by me, may he who preaches the word of me please open this book and take note it was not authored by me

I see the point your trying to make and can appreciate it. That being said one must first come to terms with the Fact the Bible was writen by the cabal now I'm Not saying God or Jesus didn't exist because they did.
Again the Bible was put together not by Jesus or God. And the book must be thrown at the foot of the pope, as we declare the Vatican vaults to be opened so we may read the true teachings of Christ.
