So many people recognized that Jesus was something 'different', but many were not sure what. This was pointed out in Matthew 16:13-16, where Jesus asked this very question of his disciples...Who are people saying I am? Several answers were given, and then he asked: “But what about you?...Who do you say I am?” to which
Peter said "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God".(NIV) Because Peter could see that Jesus was the promised Messiah, he was commended. (Matthew 16:17)

What is the propuse of a disciple?

All religions have disciples. A disciple is a follower of what ever religion they desire. Christian disciples follow Jesus Christ's teachings in the Bible. A disciple of Jesus has the responsibility to tell other people about Jesus Christ. In this way people can know what Jesus Christ did for the world and if called by God for salvation can respond to that call. Down through the centuries disciples of Christ have spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and many people now have eternal life. Christians believe that Jesus is "the way, the truth and the life" and that no one comes to the Father (God) except through Jesus ( John 14:6).

Was the bible handwritten by Jesus?

The Bible comes in two sections the Old Testament And the New Testament, The Old testament is the book that governs the Jewish religion and Jesus was an authority on this and was referred to as Rabi by many that came to hear him and learn from him. The New testament Is the second part of the bible and this is the book that reefers to the works and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Jews who were the compositors of the first testament do not recognise the second testament as they do not recognise Christ. However Jesus Christ did not write any part of the New testament as a mater of fact most of it was written long after the death of Jesus. No, it was written by a number of people, Jesus' disciple's. God overall wrote the book because God told them what to write. But God did not HANDWRITE it. God is not Jesus, it is his son. Jesus did not wright the bible, it was his disciple's, kings, and translators that wrote the bible.

Is Mohammad the last disciple of Christ?

no NO. The word "disciple" refers to a person trained in a specific "discipline", or a particular way of life. The way of life that Jesus Christ lived was one of self-sacrifice, teaching and healing persons, ultimately giving his life for his followers. Jesus was God's Son and he always lived in submission to God. I know very little about Mohammad, other that the fact that he considered Jesus to merely be a prophet of the God of Abraham.
