    Many Bible writers state that God directed what they wrote. Note these examples:

    King David: “The spirit of Jehovah it was that spoke by me, and his word was upon my tongue.”—2 Samuel 23:1, 2.

    The prophet Isaiah: “This is what the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, has said.”—Isaiah 22:15.

    The apostle John: “A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him.”—Revelation 1:1.

    St. Paul said, "From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.…"

    God doesn't exist. The bible was written by uneducated goat herders.

    I appreciate the question.....it forces a thinking Christian person to say that god told our ancestors what to write in the Bible. Christians need to be sure about this because god hasn’t contributed a verse in 1700 years.

    You can't be sure. You can only speculate that a god had something to do with it. To believe that the bible is the word of god you need faith, and faith is not fact.

    You know it's not. It was written by men.

    don't know who the "we" is you refer to, but Believers have faith that thee Scriptures are accurate & true......................many people choose to not believe His Word, and that's their choice, but to reject God and His Son will lead to nothing very pleasant
