Best Answer

The Bible is a collection of books added together. There were around forty men who wrote the books that make up the sixty-six books of the Bible. What is interesting is that the men didn't make up what they wrote for the Bible. They simply wrote what God told them to write (see the 1st book of Timothy, chapter 3 for more information from the Bible on that issue).

Why did the people who wrote the Bible not write it in its order?

For people to have written the various books of the Bible in the correct order, would have required the Bible to be the inspired word of God, which it clearly is not. Over the centuries, good men wrote the books which became regarded as scripture, and in some cases later authors altered or added to these books. Eventually, religious leaders had to choose which of the books avsailable to them best represented the faith whcih they taught, and which therefore should be included in the Bible. So, for example, there were quite a few gospels by different authors, but Irenaeus insisted that there should only be four of them included in the Bible, and that they should be Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
