If the bible is supposed to be the word of God, how come man wrote it? Man also decided what went in and what stayed out. Doen't that mean man is God?

Yes, man is god. We are god and this (now) is our dream. Reality is a hallucination we all hold in common.

Not quite. The Bible is the *inspired* word of God. This means that while men wrote the scriptures themselves, they were inspired by God to write what they did. This is why there are so many contradictions in the Bible -- men wrote it! For example, Jesus' life inspired men to write about his actions and words -- but these accounts were written by men far after Jesus' life, so little facts got mixed up -- that's why there are contradictions. Like, if I were to have five people write down the story of Jesus' birth from memory, they'd all be different despite the facts everyone has been given, because everyone will remember things a little differently! So the "word of God" simply means that what these men wrote was not fiction, but contains a message that was inspired by God.

The Bible is the word of God. Man didnt decide what went in and what stayed out. God told the apostles and everyone else who wrote it what to say.

No , don't try to argue an make a big deal out of petty stuff.
We , who choose to be are God's tools, so he use's us to do his work .
It's obviously written man, many many time's in the Bible. > Ever heard of Joesph,David,Moses,Noah,Elisha,Solomon or John,Matthew,Luke,Jude (not the betrayer),Paul,Peter,Timothy,etc etc ?
Others who chose to hinder God's work , knowingly or not , are enemy's of the Lord.
God is good an unselfish an generous , if that wasn't true we wouldn't be here !
Because he made us an the other animals so that He could share the bless that He had created (the world) with others.
Because selfishness is evil an God is not evil.
the evil one is though !

Absolutely not, God sent the Holy Spirit to tell them what to write and what to keep. The men that wrote the Bible were appointed by God.

look whether or not you chose to believe that's your choice, that is what life is all about the choice you make living it. I myself firmly believe in God but not the bible, I do all possible to help people find their ways in life without a price. Inside everyone of us is the power to distinguish right from wrong. If you want to live without eating pork or having sex or spending money on crap just for the heck it just because you want to win the free trip to heaven after the simple act of dying then go for it. I'm sorry but I live now I feel now whether its a good feeling or a bad one its my choice and i will not stop enjoying my life because i spend it worrying about something written so long ago. It sounds more like selling a bridge to me than anything Else. If priest who should no more of God than most of and understand heaven from hell go around rapping children and nuns then why should we worry.

The bible may have been composed by humans..but how would it have been done? have you ever heard of God talking to the people who wrote it and told them exactly what to write.....some of the "books" in the Bible are letters that Paul wrote to churches all over the world....most of it was what God had told people to write

Because God can do whatever he wants, and if he wants to use man to do his work then he can. Where do you get it that man decided what went in and stayed out?

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16

Nope, the Bible was God-breathed. Read the last chapter of Revelation.
