God gave us the Bible is to show us that the human race has no strenghth to be holy pointing us to our need of Him. No matter how perfect man was( Adam and Eve) they fall. No matter if God leaves them to govern themselfs(mans wisdom) with no rules of His they fall (after Fall befor Flood).No matter If God gives them rule clear rules they fall. (Moses to Christ). All the issues mixed in the bibles pages doctrines ect.. are all secondary to the main point that the Bible teaches about man and that is we need help.We can not bring peace ,save the neglected ,feed the starving.Humans have been at it for how many years struggeling to get it all right and we fail at every generation.Why do we fail its the same reason at every turn sin ;pride of leaders ,nonconcern for others,envy of others,hatred,lust ect.. these are what keep us apart as people and countries.Whats the answer? Its not religion or no religion.The answer is to abtain a new heart. How do we get that ?Who can give a new heart?

Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth
We as human beings all fall down, it has been proven through time and many things including the bible. If you look at some of the stories in there , you should see that man can survive trusting God. We do still have hope in life even though we still fall down. We have to get back up and start over again and do it with Christ. God tried to show us in the old testament that he was there to bless us and to help us. He tried to show up that he knew what he was doing and talking about. He may have tried to earn our trust by saying it is going to flood for 40 days and nights.
If you believed him you survived, if you laughed at you drowned. The bible shows us the stories of the great men of faith that stood by God and received blessing and the the bible also shows us how man stumbles and falls when they refuse to listen to God. The bible also warns us about the return of christ and the tragedy that is to come to earth for non believers. To me, it is almost life a school book. You can find answers in there to lifes problems no matter what they are or when they occur. We attain the new heart through dedicating our lifes to Christ and loving one another like he taught us in the Bible. We as human beings will not be able to save the world from hunger, or bring peace ect. We are to do our part to help out with the situation through God. Jesus is the only one that can give out a new heart and that is something that you must ask him to give to you.

The Ten Commandments are narrowed down in the New Testament to two: to love God above all else and to love your neighbor as yourself.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 states: from a child thou hast know the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation trough faith which is in Christ Jesus: All scripture is given by inspiration of God for doctrine, reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of god may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

There is allot of information in the Bible that can help us, if we let it, and I think this scripture may answer your question;
2Timothy 3:15b-17 ...the holy writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through the faith in connection with Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired of God, and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

Roman Emperor Constantine gave you the bible. It took another 75 years to forge all the documents and get it into condition so it could be canonized, but Constantine was the original inspiration & sponsor of the bible.

God didn't give us the Bible. People did. Most of the books are named after the guys who wrote it. Sheesh.

God didn't give us the Bible.
Some people, mainly men, had religious experiences and wrote about these religious experiences.
Other men collected, edited and canonized these writings.

God didn't- man did. Matt, Mark, Luke and Johnny! It is their interpertation of events. It was not written by God's hand.
