The bible was written by man, or rather a few different men at different times. Some are said to be direct qoute of Jesus but all are supposed to have been inspired by God.

No-one knows (or can know), but many believe the original text of the Bible was inspired by God. The current generally accepted version of the Bible bears so little resemblance to the original, however, and so many historical and factual innaccuracies & contradictions that you can conclude with some confidence that it is not the word of God.
(This is also true of the Qu'uran & the Book of Mormon)

The inspiratuion is from, God, the words were written by man. This doesn't make the Bible any less Holy, rather allows several different ways of explaining God's Grace. For instance my explination for this question may make perfect sense to you, but it may not make any sense to someone else. Then if you look at the gosples, (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) Their accounts may be different, but they never contridict themselves either. Rather they complete eachother. The reason for this is, the diciples were not all with Christ at the same time all the time, and each one got a different testimony with thier experience with Christ. Just like our testimonies, We may both walk with Christ, but our stories are very different.

They are the word of man under the guidance of the spirit of God.

Every word in the Bible was written by ignorant men who had no knowledge of science.

Actually, every word in the Bible are from people who think their words come from God.
Are they or are they not?
I guess it's your take. Mine is no.

the last sentence of this book review is very telling ....
King James' Daemonologie in the Form of a Dialogue, Divided into Three Books. Originally Printed in Edinburgh 1597, Modified for Easy Reading, with a Glossary (Pamphlet)
ISBN: 0963065793
Published in 1597, this is a short work on witchcraft and demonology written by King James I of England. This work was written essentially to counter the works of rationalists like Reginald Scot and Johann Weyer who argued against the belief in witchcraft and demonic magic. James I was in his younger years a firm believer in the power and danger of witchcraft and was himself convinced of a plot by witches to kill him and his queen during a sea voyage in 1590. The case of the North Berwick Witches is famous even today and was definately the motivating factor in James intense support for the trying and execution of witches in Scotland prior to his accendancy to the English throne in 1603. Following his rise to the throne of England, James seems to have lost much of his interest in witchcraft, but maintained enough mistrust to see that his official English edition of the Bible included the translation of Exodus 22:18 as "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live".
