GOD DID NOT WRITE THE BIBLE BUT HE WROTE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. The Significance Of God Writing The Ten Commandments Cannot Be Overlooked, Yet These Commandments Are Discarded By Most People, Who Seem To Think That They Can Do Without Them. The tragic outcome will be realized on the day that each one for not having fulfilled them in their lives.

Why did God make the physical Ten Commandments and not a physical Bible?

The Bible does not inform us what stone was used by God to engrave the Ten Commandments. Stone can refer to diamond or quartz or granite. The breastplate for the high priest has twelve stones:

• And you shall set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row; and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be set in gold filigree. (Exodus 28:17-20)

Accordingly to the Jewish Encylopedia:

The exact identification and the order of these stones, as well as the tribe represented by each, are matters of speculation—BREASTPLATE OF THE HIGH PRIEST

When it comes to the exact identification of the stone used by God to write the Ten Commandments, likewise, we are entering the realm of speculation.

• The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and wait there; and I will give you the tables of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.” (Exodus 24:12)

The Ten Commandments could have been written on diamond plates for all we know. Nevertheless, since the Ten Commandments outline sin, it is interestingly to learn that diamond was used to engrave the tablet of the heart in respect to the sin of Judah.

• The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars. (Jeremiah 17:1)

The Bible does not tell us what the reason was for God creating the Ten Commandments on plates of stone (maybe, diamond?), just that this is what happened.

• Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life. (2 Corinthians 3:4-6)
• Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we too believe, and so we speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.

What we know is that men of faith spoke and recorded what they said under the inspiration of the Spirit of God. What God wrote was for judgment and also for our encouragement.

When Jesus said that He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, He also made the point of referencing that the Law itself would not pass away before Heaven or Earth.

• Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)

From what Jesus stated, we can conclude that the Law of God written by His Own Finger is eternal, whereas that to which the prophets have attested, has been fulfilled in the Son of God. This suggests that the reason God wrote the Ten Commandments Himself is that these are forever abiding, whereas that of which the prophets spoke, were promises that required fulfillment, while the scribes recorded history and other matters which were of no eternal worth.
