No, not at all. Bible in hebrew means "book of stories". And that is exactly what it is. The covets of mankind are incredible. Like deciding what should be left in and out of the original text. What you should do is read the bible from front to back and then ask yourself what is and what is not. The bible was endorsed by mankind. Don't underestimate the power of man. As the world witnesses, they can dictate what should be. This is done by mankind, not GOD. Ascribing evil to HIS name. If the bible is good for governing you, then your heart endorsed it and I highly doubt the next man can interperate it how you did. PEACE!
I read the bible and after that I question a lot. And I am no christian. I believe in the lord GOD of israel(pbuh).

No I don't believe he did the only endorsement I know of came from man, I'm sure you will have people say he did but that is not true, any thing that God may or may not of said all comes from men that have had a so called vision or conversation with God, in my view the pails they hold are full of holes and hold vary little water, the minds of man can create what ever he wants and has many times, man has become a master of schemes and scams, we only have to look at antiquities of the ancient world, fake books writings and artifacts sold for millions of dollars, many of these fake artifacts are made today to look ancient but proven fake, there are those that believe the bible is also running a fine line in regards to its legitimacy, so I do not think God has ever had any thing to do with the bible or scriptures that where put in it.

The Bible was written over a period of 1600 years, by over 40 authors, in 3 languages. Yet there is perfect harmony and consistancy throughout. It has been preserved ever since it's first publication until this very day, and remains the number 1 bestseller in History. If that isn't a stamp of approval, I don't know what is.
Let alone the internal proofs for, many of which have been mentioned already.
Hope that helps.

god endorses any writeings or words that are made in his name with his spirit in their souls helping them configure the words . if you read the bible with open heart and mind youll get full effect of the intencions .we wrote those words and over many generations money power and sin have alterd and moved around things to show a different message to man kind so that now we are confused by what we call gods word . christ died for this reason because god knew that we as himans couldnt make it under his laws and arent worthy of them so now we have a great gift of salvation threw christ . just do what red letters say and youll find all other writeings are secondary to those . dont worry about doing absolutly everything right just serve the best you can and belieave in god and he will guide your thoughts towards the truth

If we can look at the Bible, OT and NT together, for the principles that are behind the stories than I believe God endorses the Bible. People want to argue over the fact it was written be finite, imperfect rich men (and Shakespeare) but that holds no bearing on the message of principles needed to live the life God calls us to live.

Does an author endorse his or her own book?
Of course God endorses the Bible.

Man created God and wrote the bible. Overtime, man has created many Gods because he wanted to have life everlasting ... then he goes out to kill everyone that worships in a different way. God did not endorse the Bible.

Yes, he did, all through it.
Jesus approved the Old Testament.
At the end of the last book, Revelation, we are told not to add or subtract from it.
And the Holy Spirit within Christians down through the generations has added his okay.
People criticize the Council of Nicaea and similar conferences through the millennia but these councils consisted of scholarly believers expressing the leading of the Holy Spirit within them.

He commanded numerous people to write it.
2Peter 1:20 Above all, here is what you must understand. No prophecy in Scripture ever came from a prophet’s own understanding. 21 It never came simply because a prophet wanted it to. Instead, the Holy Spirit guided the prophets as they spoke. So prophecy comes from God.
Rev 1:10 The Holy Spirit took complete control of me on the Lord’s Day. I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.
Rev 1:11 The voice said, “Write on a scroll what you see. Send it to the seven churches in Asia Minor. They are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”
Rev 1:12 I turned around to see who was speaking to me. When I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
Rev 1:13 In the middle of them was someone who looked “like a son of man.” (Daniel 7:13) He was dressed in a long robe with a gold strip of cloth around his chest.
Rev 1:14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a blazing fire.
Rev 1:15 His feet were like bronze metal glowing in a furnace. His voice sounded like rushing waters.
Rev 1:16 He held seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth came a sharp sword that had two edges. His face was like the sun shining in all of its brightness.
Rev 1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. Then he put his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
Rev 1:18 I am the Living One. I was dead. But look! I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys to Death and Hell.
Rev 1:19 “So write down what you have seen. Write about what is happening now and what will happen later.
... lots of people quote 2Timothy 3:16 but miss a major portion of its significance...
2Ti 3:16 God has breathed life into all of Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right.
-- Scripture is useful or profitable. It has value in peoples' daily lives.
