If the Bible is God's Word, then I would have to say that I'm putting my faith in God.

God inspired the Bible to be written down by men. It was not their thoughts that they wrote, in fact, they sometimes didn't even understand it. By studying the Bible in its entirety, you can see that no man or group of man ever could have written it. SO, when you put your faith in the Bible, you are putting your faith in God but it can't just sit on your coffee table and be absorbed into your brain by osmosis. You have to read it prayerfully, asking God to grant you holy spirit and sometimes, like the Ethiopian eunich, you need a little help from others. God bless you in your search.

This is an awesome question.
The Bible is 66 books about GODs relationship with man. It is kind of like an instruction manual for a relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ. Now...... That said. There are people who worship the Bible and have never met GOD, There are and have been people who know GOD through Christ Jesus who have never seen the Bible. But if you are a Christian then the Bible is like having a map that says "You are here" It really helps. I put my faith in Jesus who in turn gets me in the door for audience with GOD the father. Its a cool deal!
GOD bless ya

The Bible has but 1 author and that is God; it just so happens that is has many writers. So, my faith is in God!

Read and study your Bible.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to show thyself approved
Jeremiah 17:5
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
118:9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
The scripture (GOSPEL) is the inspired LIVING WORD of GOD>
Put your faith in a LIVING GOD.

I would certainly put my faith in God, never in man. I'm sure there are many errors in the Bible, errors and omissions and additions-by man.

actual, if I placed atheism - no longer a faith, of direction - in there, something which many do on my behalf without my bidding, i detect i could no longer care much less. i think no longer something. those assertions would not have the flexibility to electrify all of us's self-preception and in the event that they do, that is no longer a query of how does it sense, yet why DOES it sense like that? this would be an argument to do with faith consistent with se (and so exludes atheism). The demands some faiths make of certitude can not be maintained purely from interior, they choose help from outdoors besides. i think of it incredibly is very actual of faiths which characteristic all varieties of mind-blowing supernatural traits to its deities and doctrines: miracles, afterlifes, prayer answering etc. That then demands the guy of religion to make unreasonable expectancies of others on their behalf - "my faith is important to ME, so which you're able to make concessions to that result". does no longer or no longer that is extra effective if this confirmed us the barriers of religion, and called upon people who want to have faith to maintain their faith from interior? and perchance to anticipate much less to settle for to them for the hassle-free act of believing something? that isn't, by making use of the way, an excuse to be as impolite by way of fact the examples interior the question. Gratuitous rudeness is unsightly, undignified, and pointless. And it is likewise actual that the above does no longer word to all faiths - Jainism and Buddhism, probable, are mind-blowing exceptions. those faiths are confident that what they have faith isn't contingent on the approval others. would that each and every person people of religion would desire to sense the comparable.

You're putting your faith in everyone who has ever touched it, or interpreted it for you.
