It should be stated at the outset of this work, that Muslims do not seek to put down or desecrete the Holy Bible. It is a matter critical matter of faith for Muslims to believe in the original revelations that came down to Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus, just as it is is important for Muslims to believe in the revelation of the Quran that came to Muhammad, peace be upon him. The key word here however, is "original." As we all know the origin of the Bible is clouded with centuries of copying, translating and passing down information, now long lost with only copies of manuscripts remaining to remind us of what once was the Bible.

God used holy men to write the Bible. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit. The first 4 books of the old testament was written by Moses. He wasn't here from the beginning, so the Holy Spirit told him what to write. That is how we have an accurate history. I can't remember how many wort the Bible, but yes there are many writers.

Yes, and many books were left out of the canonized Bible used in Christianity as the basis of learning. The only learning is acheived through faith and communication with God through prayer. Prayer is the only thing all religions have in common. There are many more facets to a total understanding of God than any single religion can cover. We will not have this knowledge while confined to this body, as it is only a small phase in the learning process of our soul. While in this body, we learn what we seek to learn as God sees fit to reveal it to us. A first grade teacher would not expect their students to read and write a book report on a play by Shakespeare.

Yes.
Even the Bible says the Bible was written by many different authors. Scholars have also found evidence of editing and splicing together of various stories, many based on earlier popular myths.

No. By many writers, but one Author. Man through the Devine Holy Spirit wrote that which God "dictated".

Yes, that is why the different sections are called "books" with chapters inside them...The Book of Genesis, for example. Others are sayings or prayers (Psalms, for example) and then others are more directive, such as the letters to the early Christian communities.

Yes. But the early Christian church threw out what they didn't like, modified, reinterpreted and edited the parts that were acceptable, and made changes to suit their political agenda, which was, basically, to rule the world.

I've answered some similar question like yours.
Just becuase God (Jesus Christ) chooses to use and envolve humans to produce the actual book, does not disscount the validity of the words. Remember back then people were much closer to God; so it's not impossible to imagine that God told them what text to right.

Yes, many men wrote the books of the Bible. They were all inspired by God.
