Unless I am misunderstanding you, to be fair, plenty of Christians do claim that. They claim Jesus is god (and the holy spirit is god for that matter), and that the bible is the divinely inspired work of god. Therefore, the bible is the divinely inspired work of Jesus. Also, I am pretty sure there is a large subset of Christians who would take exception to your "Jesus isn't even in the bible until the new testament" argument and would state that the entirety of the bible is about Jesus. In fact, i believe I saw a pretty well known npub on her state that just the other day. If you are saying that only the words of Jesus matter in the bible, then why revere the bible at all...if you don't take the entirety of the bible as a whole being the divinely inspired work of god, then what is your justification for following Jesus?

I have never once heard anyone say the words 'the Bible is the inspired Word of Jesus' regardless of Jesus being God in the flash. And besides, no version of the statement exists anywhere in the Bible.

Is that not a distinction without a difference though? If Jesus=god, then word of god=word of Jesus.

My point is, that particular phase is not used commonly. And that any version of it is nowhere in the Bible. So its irrelevant to be honest.
