dont you agree with me on this? people keep saying "read the word of god" but god never wrote anything, he inspired people to write books for him, so shouldnt you just say "read the holy books" rather then the word of god. I mean he didnt tell the what to write they just wrote the things that happend, it was inspired by god but not written by him.

If you believe that the "inspired" people who wrote everthing down were acutally prophets and servants of God, inspired to recieve his direct revelation then it is God who is writing these things. Moses wrote down the 10 Commandments, but it was God who told him what to write, so it's God's word.

God said "what you see write in a book" so God wrote it more or less. It is not good to split hairs and play word games.

The Word of God is spoken (breathed), the Bible is the inspired account of what He said.
He did tell them what to write. He also told them waht not to write, and what writings to conceal.
If Jesus said, "It is written..." then that is a good enough for me to know that it is a written record of God's Word, authoritative as any court record, and worthy of being recognized as such.

Semantics. The bible is a collection of books written by men, inspired by God's holy spirit.

Well, even though is wasnt written by him, he inspired people to write it, but because god made man, god controls everything going on in everybody's body, so i think that it is the word of god, even though it wasn't written by him.

Just food for thought. I'm a humanist. I believe in God. I'm a writer. When I write, the beauty of it, is.... that the reader will bring his/her own perspective into it. Not everyone will see it the same way. Like a painting. I don't go to church to have some man who is no better or worse than me, tell me his view. You can interpret something written many different ways. The proof is in the pudding. If I treat people like they are my own, what does that say about me? Isn't that what Christ did? You can show by doing, instead of speaking and preaching. It's a big world, and different people respond to different things, I like to think we all play our part, hopefully, to make things better. It takes different ingredients to bake a cake. We all have our own gifts to bring to the table. We are all good and bad. Isn't it a good thing to build each other up, and not tear each other down. I saw so much tearing down of the human spirit in church, I don't go anymore. This is not meant to be offensive. It's just what works for me, after walking in my shoes. Until you have walked in someones shoes. Don't be so quick to critcize, judge or condem. Isn't that suppose to be left up to God? If we sweep our own porch, we won't have time to worry about the neighbors, and if we are building people up, we won't have time to tear people down. So to me, some people can relate to "read the word of God", and others relate to "read the holy books". We are all different. Why does one thing have to be better than another? In my high rise, we have this very nice pastor, I like to think some people relate to him, and some to me, and some to both. Can't we both play our part to work toward some good changes, even if they aren't all exactly the same? We have more in common than we have different. We relate very well. Now that's a man I respect. We build each other up. Isn't that what we are here to do? Isn't that what motivates people to do better, to make them believe you have faith in them?

It is true that is was written by men, But it was written by men that was inspired by God what to write. Therefore, what is written is God Approved.

They wrote it using words that came from the Holy Spirit that is from God.

No - who is putting limits on what God can do? IT is God's Word - He may have used someone Else's finger to do the writing - but God wrote it.
