Did God allow people free will in creating the Bible?

Did he allow them free will in writing it? In editing it? In deciding which books would be included and which excluded? In translating it?

Update:

My point, Janhoi, is that if the people creating it had free will, then *their* ideas are contained in the Bible, not necessarily exclusively God's. But if he didn't allow them free will, isn't he breaking one of his biggest rules?

    The bible is the word of god, so it must be commanded from god, for the prophets to write, all that is written in it. But beware that false priest have tampered with the word of god, to get gain for themselves.For they have added words and have taken out words from the bible to have man stumble. Priest craft is real priest having no authority to preach the gospel or to build up churches unto God for they only build them up unto them selves to get gain from the things of the world. evil are they who do such things for it is spread throughout our world today and has been for thousands of years, for they pervert God right of way. Truth is truth

    Paul said he was compelled to preach the gospel.

    So Gods calling is strong enough that the will of man bends or yields to the will of God.

    Even Jesus said nevertheless not my will, but your will be done.

    You are talking about which Bible? There are varieties of Bibles. Old & New Testaments. Where is the Old Testament? It is Hidden. Because, it is the Original, revealed from the Only One God Allah (Who Created you, me and whole universe) to Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon Him). The New Testaments were written by 40 persons, in different times with Contradictions, Vulgar Words, Changes and Inserted New Versions. How can a person believe it as it is from God?

    Why there is "NO" only one Bible, like only one Holy Quran?

    The Holy Quran was Revealed from God Allah [Who Created you, me and whole universe] to Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon Him) by VOICE, through Angel Gabriel, before 1400 years. Later it was written, Since then, there is no change in it's Arabic Origin. You can't find any contradictions or a single vulgar word in Holy Quran.

    - BIBLE SAYS TO KILL INNOCENT: (Deuteronomy 20:10-14): "10. When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13. When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies".

    - The Only One God Allah Says in Holy Quran about Bible (Check as: Gospel) in many Verses. Click the last link given.

    Chapter 3 Verse 3. It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).

    - Christianity is going very weak. (Proofs are in Source Box. Click and read all. Keep reading, until you understand the Truth). Believing in Christianity, Church goers are lowering/degrading. Islam is growing very fast in the world. There are child & nun sex abuse in churches. Christians are unable to maintain Churches. So, Churches are on SALE in USA & Europe: Churches for SALE.

    (In 2011 a big Church at 191st St, Jamaica, NY has been sold to Muslim Community and now it is a Mosque over there. June 2012 a Church was sold to !slim Community in Vallejo, CA. It is Mosque now).

    After learning the Truth, the Christians, (not only the Christians), many are embracing Islam.

    Islam is easy, Holy Quran Chapter 2 Verse 185. ..."Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you"....

    To check just say "Ya Allah" always continuously, even on bed, except in toilet. Look your life after a month, how it is improved. (This has been tested).
