That's a damned good question! The zealots on here are going to have a field day telling you that the Bible is God's word delivered to man but if you asked them to quantify that statement they wouldn't know whether to sh!t or go blind. They rely on faith alone, which seems a silly way to do things to me. If God didn't want us to question things why did he make us intelligent?

The problem with the Volumes of Sacred Lore is the people who use them as crutches for their own insecurity and xenophobia.

While those three books were written by nomadic shepherding tribes, most of the books have been rewritten to make them conform to prove one point or another. Thus, the followers of a cherry-picked word who are deathly afraid that they might be wrong use these human written books as tools for bashing others. If they do not want to be wrong, they must make everyone else wrong. Those who are "in the wrong" are by definition "demonic" and must die.

When you think of it, a small group of desert-dwellers really could not stand much diversity. They needed a strong leader and survival was based on his being right. Such thinking seems to have leaked upward to the followers hundreds and thousands of years later.

And so it goes...

To Irish Red: God isn't asking us not to question--he asks us to trust Him. That's what faith is. Making humans intelligent is a sign of his love, I'd think.

Regardless, to answer the original question, To answer for the Bible, is was written by human hands, but comes from the heart of God. But if one weren't to believe in God, what was the point of the question? If there were no God, of course the idea would be ludicrous. But Christians, and Jews and Muslims for that matter, do believe in a God-inspired scripture.

Koran was not made by human. Muhammad himself was not able to write or read. in a simple word "uneducated". Koran came from God.
Bible also, with the remarkable of Juses that came from God.
And also Taurat.
The fighting came from the human themselves. There are many reasons for fighting but not because of Religion. U sually they fight for freedom, land, dignity, and not being humiliated.

well no book was written by man. all were direct revelations from God. many christians say and we think we know that bible was written by man after years of jesus-pbuh death.

all the 3 books: zabur, torah and quran were direct reveations.
but muslims beleive that bible was also a direct revelation of God. so if this is true then something went terribly wrong somewhere as we now see people saying it was written by man.

by the way why do people always omit out Zabur that was revealed to David-pbuh?

Salam (Peace)!
Actually, the Qur'an, Bible and Torah were not written by human beings. In fact, they are divine Books sent from God. They were sent through Angel Gabriel. He brought God's messages to many Prophets who then passed those messages to their people. So these books are highly respected books.

Qur'an? It is the final revelation of the will of Almighty God's to all of mankind, which was conveyed through the Angel Gabriel, in Arabic, to the Prophet Muhammad in its sounds, words and meanings. The Qur'an, sometimes spelled Koran,



It was conveyed by ArchAngel Gabriel, the same angel who had conveyed God's revelations to his earlier prophets, including Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Prphet Muhammad received this first revelation at the age of 40 in 610 A.D.



The prophet received the revelations on various matters, ideas, knowledge, elucidation, instructions, advice and guidance over 23 years. Sometimes the Prphet received a single verse, sometimes a few verses together and sometimes an entire chapter. God says: "We have rehearsed the Quran to thee (O Muhammad) in slow, well-arranged stages gradually." (25:32)



Upon receiving each revelation, the Prophet asked any one of his companions who could read and write to record it. This was done by the Prophet reciting the revelation he had received from God and a scribe taking it down. After the scribe had taken down what had been dictated to him (on the writing material of those days), the Prophet asked the scribe to read allowed what he had recorded - to make sure that he had recorded correctly what had been dictated to him.



In this way, the entire Quran, 114 chapters in all, was completed in manuscript form before the Prophet's death. The various chapters in the Quran were arranged by the Prophet himself through divine guidance. (The chapters of the Quran are nto arranged in chronological order but in the order of divine preferance. For instance, the first verses the prophet received, which begun with "Read! In the name of Thy Lord...", are in chapter 96, not in chapter 1).

The Quran, the last revealed Word of God, is the prime source of every Muslim's faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern us as human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship and law, but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time it provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and an equitable economic system.

(2 Timothy 3:16-17) 16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

“All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial.” (2 Timothy 3:16) The Greek word translated “inspired of God” literally means “God-breathed.” God “breathed” the information we now find in the Bible books into the minds of some 40 writers. The few examples—scientific, historical, and prophetic—that we have considered clearly point to but one conclusion. This unique book, the Bible, is a product, not of human wisdom, but of divine origin. Yet, many today are skeptical about the existence of its Author—God. How about you?

Organized religion is all about control. Control of the followers, control of the society. The promise of eternal reward for obedience or the promise of death or suffering for not following the creeds of the faith are just tools that the organized religion systems use in one way or another and at various levels in order to prod people along.

Again, its all about control.

You're not suppose to take any of them literally...those were written for the times they were written...they have some good points and some bad points but to take it literally in this day and age is a bit far stretched.
