Certainly it is true that the Bible was not written with the actual “finger of God.” Men used pen and ink to write the scriptures. However, the Bible claims to be inspired. That is, men wrote as “they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (II Peter 1:21). David said, “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and His word was on my tongue” (II Samuel 23:2). Isaiah said, “The word that Isaiah the son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:1). Paul said, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” (II Timothy 3:16). In fact, the scriptures claim to be the words of God over 4,000 times. Now if this book has lied over 4,000 times concerning its origin, and yet it still demands us to obey it or be lost in an eternal hell, there is nothing “good” about this book. If it is “only written by men” it is worst book the world has known.

- How do I know that the Bible is from God and not the Koran or the Book Of Mormon?
- Each Bible writer had a different style which proves that God gave each writer general thoughts, but they wrote in their own words.
- Every Bible I pick up reads differently. There are just so many ‘interpretations’ that I can’t believe we can trust any of it.
