What on earth gives me the right to tell you, you need to work on that grammer?
The book isn't the one telling you, its the one who wrote the book, GOD and he has the right because hes holy and he hasn't sinned!

Its basic, even if you don't believe the reasons for it as given in the Bible, you are a sinner. It just means you believe different reasons. A sin is just something you do that is wrong and against a moral law. At some time in your life, you did some kind of sin. You might have lied (even a little white lie is still a lie), or hit your father or talked back to your mother, or stolen something or something like that. You have done something wrong in your life, and everyone throughout history has as well, so the Bible just says it. It gives a reason why, as to whether you want to believe that reason or not is up to you, but it doesn't make the conclusion that you are a sinner any less true.

We're talking about a very unique Book, here.
The Holy Bible is a series of books written by different authors at different points in time. The inspiration is God, who actually authored the book through these various writers. That is why it is called the inspired Word of God.
It is a historically accurate book by every measurement. Hold what it states up against any other history of events from the same time periods and the Bible has yet to be shown as being inaccurate in any way.
What gives it the right -- well, mankind fell into sin as it is recorded in Genesis. It didn't exclude anyone when they talked and mankind's fall into sin. But unless you exclude yourself from mankind -- I suspect that catches you too pal.
No one is without sin, we all fall short of the glory of God.
So the key isn't to argue that you are NOT a sinner. The key is to latch on to the answer to this sinful condition we are all born into. That answer is Jesus Christ -- who God sent to be a man on this earth (without sin) but to live and die for the sins of all mankind. Because of His death on the cross and resurrection -- we are all free from sin's grasp on us -- we are forgiven of our sin.
That is called the Good News.
It really is good!!!
Hope this helps.

the concept of "sin" is one that is established in that book anyway. If you accept the concept of "sin" you are, indirectly, accepting the tenants of that book.
Regardless, it has every right to call you a sinner based on its own moral logic, it's wheter or not you accept it.
I could invent my own set of rules and regulations (Numbah one: You are a sinner if you wear orange on sunday) and anyone in violation of them would be called a sinner by myself and whoever followed those rules. The only reason that those rules have an effect on you is becuase much of society follows them.

the Bible has many more purposes than just to shout out that you're a sinner. in fact, the reason that it does is so it can show you how not to be one anymore. But in truth it has the right because it is the Word of God. The same God who spoke to the apostles and told them what to write in it is the same God who made you and everything in the universe. the purpose of the Bible isnt to condem people for being sinners. its to show you the error of your ways and bring you hope that it doesnt always have to be that way. There's hope that you can live forever in Heaven with your creator. you just have to ask for it, except it and live in such a way to honor the God who made you.

Because a) we are all sinners, and b) the standards for what determine if one is a sinner were set up by God. He inspired the human authors to convey His values in the Bible. A sin is an offense against God, so if you break his commandments, you are choosing to be a sinner.
Whether you believe what's in the Bible is God's word or not, or whether your espouse the values related in it, is not what makes it right or wrong. It's valid no matter what you believe.

The book calls you nothing. However, that book you refer to provides the answers one can use to live a happy, moral life, because the "rules" haven't changed in the last few thousand years.

The book isn't calling you a sinner -- your behavior might make you a sinner though.

If you don't think you're a sinner, you're fooling yourself. You don't need a book to tell you, either - do five seconds of introspection and you'll discover plenty of times in your life when you have been selfish or violent or hurtful or rude or inconsiderate. That's what sin is, my friend.

Nothing and nobody on this earth has that right.
However, the One (God) who inspired the old book to be written in the first place has all of the rights in the world!
