Even I can come up with a smarter idea than God. Make your own bible, make it easy for everyone to understand, none of those goofy parables, or metaphors, make it indestructable, make it unchanging..now is that so hard God? So why couldn't do that or see what was coming? Or here is an idea..maybe the whole thing was made up by man. Of course you will hear some goofball saying something like: "that was his way of testing our faith"..lol

If you make up your own bible it would be called a false doctorine. And guess what?? However many people that you steer away from salvation you will be accounted for!! Nothing, no idea is smarter than God. He is my everything. I have a question for you... do you believe in Jesus?? Why don't you try him and see?? The bible was not made up by man. Every SINGLE prediction from the bible has come true except the rapture of the church. I have another question.. if thousands upon thousands of people were to dissapear in a moment and you were left behind and it told you awhile before through this message that i was going to happen... would you believe me????( 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)

God isn't dumb. You're dumb by saying that he is. Believe what you want to believe, if you think man made it up. But I believe that we are here on Earth cause God is testing us. And the ones that believe in him will go to heaven. God created every one of us. And many people believe that we are here cause it's his way of testing our faith, even me. Believing that and saying that doesn't make us a goofball.

First of all that's blasphemy. Second of all, The Bible was inspired by God, If God made the Bible, we would not understand it. He is outside of our dimension. The Bible is comprised of what God told man, and what man's experiences were. If the Bible was not true, if it was blasphemous in the most infinitesimal degree, he would not allow it to come into being. The Bible is God's Will.

The Bible was inspired by God written by man. And the chances of all the prophecies made that actually came true are astronomical. For further information see the source below.

God allowed man to write down what GOD told him.
Man didn't write the bible, it's to complex for human thought.

I will be praying for you!
"Let no man decieve himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God,. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness." 1 Cor 3:18-19
I too could not understand how we could trust in the Bible, if it is written by man. However, once I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, he delivered me from my addictions and the hate, condemnation, and shame that was in my heart and the Holy Spirit started teaching me God's ways. I had no idea what that meant until I was saved, by the way.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. He used the Holy Spirit (God's Spirit) to inspire every word. The humans were merely transcribing what God wanted to communicate to us.
The Bible can be understood, but the Holy Spirit is needed to help give you insights. Jesus used parables merely to illustrate and relate the concepts that he was teaching about to things that were familiar to the people.
God wants to have a personal relationship with you through his son Jesus. He has a PURPOSE for your life that only you can fulfill. Jesus did not come for the righteous, but for us sinners. While we were yet sinners, Jesus died for us and paid our sin debt in full! Being saved is a gift from God, you are saved by grace through faith in Jesus and are not saved by works, so no man should glory. (Eph 2:8-9)
Man is sinful and accountable to God for that sin. (Isaiah 53:6; 1 Peter 4:5, Romans 14:12)
(Sin is falling short. "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23)
There is nothing we can do to earn God's favor. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
God loves us unconditonally, despite our sinfulness. (John 3:16)
Because of his great love, God-while remaining true to His perfect justice-made a way for us to be free from our sin. (Romans 3:23-27)
The choice is yours! Accept the gift or reject it. Suffer God's wrath and just judgement or accept Jesus's sacrifice. He took your sins on him and suffered God's judgment so you wouldn't have to. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
By the way, God did not create hell for us, he created it for Lucifer, the fallen angels, and the false prophet. He does not wish that any should perish, but he loved us so much that he gave us a choice to accept him or reject him.
Choose Life!
God Bless!

God doesn't make things your way, He made them His way, He chose to let people write the Bible who could right it by inspiration of Holy Spirit. all you can do is deal with it, its the way it is.

Apparently.
"The Bible is supposedly God's perfect Word. It contains instructions to humankind for avoiding the eternal fires of hell. How wonderful and kind of this God to provide us with this means of overcoming the problems for which he is ultimately responsible! The all-powerful God could have, by a mere act of will, eliminated all of the problems we humans must endure, but instead, in his infinite wisdom, he has opted to offer this indecipherable amalgam of books which is the Bible as a means for avoiding the hell which he has prepared for us. The perfect God has decided to reveal his wishes in this imperfect work, written in the imperfect language of imperfect man, translated, copied, interpreted, voted on, and related by imperfect man. No two men will ever agree what this perfect word of God is supposed to mean, since much of it is either self- contradictory, or obscured by enigmatic symbols. And yet the perfect God expects us imperfect humans to understand this paradoxical riddle using the imperfect minds with which he has equipped us. Surely the all-wise and all-powerful God would have known that it would have been better to reveal his perfect will directly to each of us, rather than to allow it to be debased and perverted by the imperfect language and botched interpretations of man."

Man did not write the Bible. God wrote the Bible. He only used man as a scribe.
