Why it is bugging you that the Bible is written by humans? Are not all the books written by humans?

I think it may be because it's purported to be God's word?

I was going to bypass this question but then I saw the answer with all the points of why the bible is a holly book and true book and so forth. Let's not forget that the bible is a compilation of several manuscripts all written by guys who claimed to have gotten it straight from god, ALL OF THEM, including the ones that were excluded from the bible. If it's a sacred book and the word of God, why can't we read the rest of the Gospels? They are the word of God too, right? And it's not the first book ever, don't be daft. the oldest book that you are referring to is a Gutenberg Bible, and some people think it's the oldest book ever, it's not, it's not even the first book printed in that same Gutenberg press, it's only a very known book, but there were millions of other books before it, and even thousands of books printed before it. As for flaws, there are so many, I won't even go there. As for the veracity of the Bible, did you know that the Bible as we know it was compiled 400 years after anyone in it was dead? No one to verify if it was real or not, then?

It's a book, and it means a lot to a lot of people, therefore it deserves respect. But so other books as important as that one. Don't be so self-righteous and so full of yourselves.

It was inspired by God, yes, written by humans. Life is a book that's being written by God. Each one of us is a word in that book and the Universe is the paper.

How Do We Know the Bible Is God's Word?

The Bible claims for itself VERBAL INSPIRATION. This is the fact that God chose to BREATH His words through His prophets, that these prophets SPOKE God's words, and that these inspired words were reduced to the writings that we now today as the Holy Scriptures (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet 1:20-21; 2 Sam 23:2; Jer. 1:9; Luke 1:70; Jer 36). Christians generally believe this doctrine by faith alone, which is good, but can it be proven? Yes, it can. Any reasonable person would accept the following arguments as legitimate proof for the inspiration of Scripture.

The Bible Is A Negative Book

Why would man write a book to condemn his own race? From cover to cover the Bible is NEGATIVE toward man. It utterly condemns man (Psa 39:5; Isa 64:6; Rom 3:10-18; John 3:18; Jer 17:9; Psa 51:5).

The Bible Is an Authoritative Book

Most ancient writings do not even profess inspiration, but the Bible professes not only to be inspired, but to be the ONLY inspired writing (Isa. 8:20). The central character of the Bible, the Lord Jesus Christ, professes to be the ONLY way to Heaven. Unlike the ancient philosophers, the men of the Bible are men who speak with great power, certainty, and authority.

The Bible Is an Infallible Book

Although many have tried, and are still trying, no one has ever proven that there are mistakes in the Bible (KJV). All apparent errors and contradictions can be explained Scripture with Scripture and by closely studying the context.

The Bible Is an Old Book

It's the oldest REAL book in the world. It was the first book printed on a press.

The Bible Is a Prophetic Book

While other ancient writings do not even attempt prophecy, the Bible attempts it and fulfills it! One only has to consider a few Old Testament prophecies about the life of Christ to see this (Num. 24:17-19; Gen. 49:10; Mic. 5:2; Isa. 7:14; Dan. 9:25; Hos. 11:1; Isa. 53; Zec. 9:9; Psa. 69:21; Psa. 34:20; Psa. 16:10; Psa. 41:9; Zec 11:12; Psa. 35:11; Psa. 22).

The Bible Is a Unified Book

The sixty-six books of the Bible were written by some thirty-five or forty different authors, on three continents, over a period of 1,800 years. These men came from all walks of life, differing greatly from one another, but their writings never contradict. These books COMPLIMENT one another. Such an accomplishment would be impossible if the Holy Spirit were not the Divine Author.

The Bible Is an Interesting Book

Unlike other books, the Bible is read by all classes of people. A small remnant of people from all walks of life share an interest in the Bible (educated, non-educated, old, young, male, female, black, white, rich, poor, etc.)

The Bible Is a Best-Selling Book

Over 800,000,000 copies sold since 1611. Over 2,000,000 per year, and over 5000 per day. This is a very conservative estimate, and it doesn't include those translated for missionary work.

The Bible Is a Blessed Book

It has changed more lives than any other book in world history. Eighty-eight percent of the colleges in America were founded for the purpose of teaching God's word and training missionaries. Many literary countries are the product of Bible-believing Christianity. Nations and individuals always prosper when Bible principles are followed.

The Bible Is a Preserved Book

If the Bible is only a man-written book, then why does it still exist? Satan has fought endlessly to rid the world of the Bible, yet it still exists today. Everything that man accomplishes eventually falls apart (wonders of the world, educational system, governments, etc.), but the Bible lives on (Psa. 12:6-7; Mat. 24:35).

Yes so the bible is just like every other book written by humans

Indeed, but christians assert that the bible was inspired by a god, and as such should be accepted as fact.

Except, that is, the bits which they don't like, which are obviously metaphor, and mean something completely different.

Of course, which bits, and what they mean, will vary from believer to believer, as they can't seem to reach a consensus.

But it's all true, nonetheless.

The Bible is the inspired word of God written by those men He chose.

To illustrate, consider the order taken by the waitress when you order at a restaurant: she did not prepare the meal, she merely delivered it. The cook made it.

This is how it is-God has spoken, these "writers" wrote.

The Bible was in fact written by God through man.

The bible was written by God. I am proclaiming it stating it whatever. It is the word of God given to his people.

It doesn't bug me at all. What bugs me is that the particular humans who wrote the bible then turned around and told everyone who would listen that the stuff they wrote had been dictated to them by "God", and many of those people that they told this to, for reasons we cannot imagine, BELIEVED THEM.

Bugging who?

The Bible was written by many authors, all human, and all inspired by God.

The Holy Bible, God's word, was written by holy prophets of God, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
