(sighs) A bunch of the disciples wrote down stuff and recorded those things in the bible. The Bible took hundreds of years to complete. It is seen as the word of God and has God's teaching in them written BY men. I hope this helps you.

A 100% A. God wrote it. God's Spirit the Holy Spirit inspired and empowered men who wrote it down on papers and scrolls so that God could share His message with man kind and save them through His Word. It's living, active, able to discern between good and evil and the thoughts, sharper than any two edged sword, able to split the bones from the marrow. It's alive. Able to quicken the spirit of a man and judge his thoughts, it can change your life. No God's Word is not some fake book made up by men who were halucinating on some mind altering drugs. It's God's Word the living Word of God. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and was God, Jesus is the Word of God and the Word became flesh and lived among us. Read more there if you want but I stand on my beliefs. It does not matter what the person who asked this question thinks. I hope he was just looking for some good answers and not an excuse to bash God, the Bible and Christians.

A. Word O f God
One of the easiest things in the world to do is prove that the Bible is true and it contains inspired writings that are not of human origin (2 Peter 1:20-21). Here are ten facts about the Bible.
Fact one: Geological records show very clearly that there was indeed a water deluge - a flood. Almost every ancient culture mentions the flood in its history. The accounts of this flood are very similar to that in God’s word.
Fact two: What does God's word say about Noah and the world-wide flood? Jesus mentioned it as a fact (Matt. 24:37-39). Both the ark and Noah are mentioned as true historical facts by the Apostle Paul in Hebrews 11:7. Paul was a learned man - a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. Notice, there are other Scriptures mentioning the flood (2 Peter 2:5; Luke 6:48). The Apostle Peter said that only Noah and seven others were spared when God brought a flood upon the world. King David also talked about the flood (Psalm 29:10). Either Genesis 7:20-24 is correct, or the whole world is in trouble. God spoke to Isaiah the prophet about the flood of Noah that covered the earth (Is. 54:9). Noah is mentioned in Ezekiel as a historical person. Noah existed after the flood that destroyed the entire world and all life that was on the face of the earth. Why would God have Noah collect certain animals and birds if it was only going to be a local flood?
Fact three: Adam is referred to as a historical person by Jesus' brother Jude, the Apostle Paul, and by Job (Jude 14; 1 Tim. 2:13-14; 1 Cor. 15:22, 45; Rom. 5:14; Job 31:33; Hosea 6:7). Melchizedek was mentioned as a true historical character in Genesis 14:18 and again by the Apostle Paul in Hebrews 7:1. Abel and Enoch were mentioned in the book of Hebrews as real people (Heb. 11:4-5). Are these great men of the Bible wrong?
Fact four: The genealogical records found in God’s word are intricately accurate. This is one way that the Bible can easily be proven to be accurate. The first genealogical records given are found beginning in Genesis 4:16, where the children of Cain are recorded. Next, the generations of Adam are recorded, followed by the records of the generations of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons (Gen. 10:1-32). More records of the generations of Shem are found in Genesis 11:10-32. The book of Chronicles contains more records of genealogies of Adam, Seth and Enoch, spelled "Enosh" (1 Chronicles, chapters 1-5). The two books of the Chronicles, then, are not only the genealogy of people, but also of secular ancient history which can be proven.
Fact five: Another genealogical record is found in Matthew 1:1-17. This record, together with many other Scriptures, proves that the Messiah who was prophesied to come in the Old Testament was Jesus Christ, the son of Mary (Is. 7:14-16; 9:6; Luke 1:26-35). These Scriptures alone should be proof enough for the skeptical and uninformed.
Fact six: The throne of England contains records that show it is the throne of King David. Records can also be found in France connecting many of those kings to the genealogical records found in God’s holy, sacred and perfected word.
Fact seven: Many books available in Bible book stores prove that the Bible, which came from the Jewish nation, is true. Halley’s Bible Handbook by Henry H. Halley and The Bible as History by Werner Keller use ancient archaeology to prove the Bible true, and should be on everyone’s book shelf.
Fact eight: God, in His infinite wisdom, gave man all kinds of ways to prove the Bible. Joshua’s long day, where God stopped the sun for approximately 24 hours, is proof of the Bible (Josh. 10:12-13). Many ancient cultures record in their histories a time when the world was dark for a day, stayed light for a day, when the sun set for a day or rose in the east and stayed there for about a day.
Fact nine: The Ten Commandments that were written by the Lord on stone, Aaron’s rod that budded, and a jar containing the manna (bread from heaven) were placed in the Ark were constant reminders to the Israelites that these miracles did happen anciently.
Fact ten: The birth of King Cyrus was prophesied by the Lord over one hundred years before he was born. God did this to show mankind that He is God, and there is none like He is. The Lord not only prophesied King Cyrus’ future existence, but also told in great detail what the King would accomplish on the Lord’s behalf during his lifetime. King Cyrus was not a fictional character. His tomb is in the Middle East to this day. Some of the accounts are found in: Isaiah 44:26, 28; 45:1-7, 11, 13-14; 2 Chronicles 36:22-23; Ezra 1:1-3 and Daniel 10:1.

B.
Constantine.The Roman sense of order and organization. After Jesus dies cutls dedicated to his teaching pop up in a lot of places, mostly places he taught in and they all come from different cultures, and interpret his teachings from the lens of their culture. They don't all agree with each other. The leaders of these early cults wrote rules and standards to follow, they wrote fables and stories with moral consequence, for their followers.
Once it was no longer illegal to be a Christian, Christians didn't just come together and have a party, no they didn't, they continued their dispute over his teachings, it became a compition to get convertees, the more powerful the better. The social changes through the Roman World into chaos, Romans don't like chaos. Constantine converted and ordered the canonization of the religion into one organized body and one book. The more powerful Christian Cults essentially blocked the weaker ones in a Biblical Congress, to choose which passages would make it in the BIBLE. So, men wrote about what Jesus taught them, and men chose which ones were right and which ones were wrong.

The bible is the word of Man. I am sure that it was a great set of rules to live by and build a great society.
How can any of it be proven. You need a Leap of Faith to believe it, especially as it has been translated and has so many different variations it must be the word of Man.
The Old Testament is used by Jew, Moslem and Christian, and we are still all fighting and arguing with each other and that just means to me it is the word of Man

According to your list, answers B, C and D.
The Bible is really just a fake story, perhaps a bit like the Loch Ness monster tales.
When we pass on information to another (example: story, joke, description of something etc) by the time these details are passed on by word of mouth, interpreted by others, and then written down, the final details are typically quite different than the original information.
Since the Bible is just a man-made story passed down over many years in various forms, the chance of it being accurate in any shape or form is remote.
There are people who swear blind that the Loch Ness monster exists regardless of all the evidence to the contrary, but a fence post bobbing up and down in the Loch does the trick. Similarly there are people who swear blind that God exists and the Bible is fact, yet there isn’t one blind bit of evidence to support such theories.
Biblical tales are really no different than Loch Ness monster tales, just the era is different.

Myth,
Not everything in thte bible is proven to be true. Hell, almost all of the bible is not yet proven. The bible was written thousands of years ago, only written to tell what the thought of God's influence over nature and humanity such as the evolution theory with Adam and Eve. Scientists disprove that.

A human viewpoint on a metaphysical subject written from a specific point in the history of human civilization.
It is a word of man, which shouldn't really detract from the work, as it is important as a viewpoint of historical human culture, not to mention the great moral teachings and ideas that are presented within.

The Bible is the Word of God. It was written by humans who were guided by the Spirit. I have felt the presence of the Lord through the Spirit and I believe it guides my knowledge. I have accepted the Bible as the Word of the Lord and I believe in the Lord whole heartily.
