absolutely! Yes, Millions of people believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God: to them, the Scriptures are inerrant. look at the Bible, to see what it says about itself.
David said, 'The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times" (Ps. 12:6).
Jesus Christ gave ample testimony to the authenticity of the Holy Scriptures. He referred to them as being the very Word of God: "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he [Christ] expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself" (Luke 24:27).
"And he said unto them. These are the words which I spake unto you ... that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (verses 44-45).
The apostle Paul, writing in the middle of the first century, said: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (II Tim. 3:16-17).
Humans visit museums and other repositories of historic documents such as Britain's Magna Carta and America's Declaration of Independence and stand in awe at the sight of those documents. How much more should we stand in awe of the very Word of the living God?

How could it be? The bible says stay away from bunnies, to not be around a woman who is menstruating, to not walk a certain number of steps on sundays. How can all that be infallable? I say if you want to believe in the bible, read it and take only the good from it, such as "love thy neighbor".

I believe the Bible is the Word of God and that since God is the one who inspired it and therefore he would make sure that it contains the message that he wants mankind to get,and yes it is the sole word of God
The discovery of ancient artifacts buried in Bible lands has supported the historical and geographic accuracy of the Bible. Consider just some of the evidence that archaeologists have dug up.
David, the courageous young shepherd who became king of Israel, is well-known to readers of the Bible. His name appears 1,138 times in the Bible, and the expression “House of David”-often referring to his dynasty-occurs 25 times. (1 Samuel 16:13; 20:16) Until recently, though, there was no clear evidence outside the Bible that David existed. Was David merely a fictitious character?
In 1993 a team of archaeologists, led by Professor Avraham Biran, made an astounding discovery, which was reported in Israel Exploration Journal. At the site of an ancient mound called Tel Dan, in the northern part of Israel, they uncovered a basalt stone. Carved into the stone are the words “House of David” and “King of Israel.”2 The inscription, dated to the ninth century B.C.E., is said to be part of a victory monument erected by Aramaeans-enemies of Israel who lived to the east. Why is this ancient inscription so significant?
Based on a report by Professor Biran and his colleague, Professor Joseph Naveh, an article in Biblical Archaeology Review stated: “This is the first time that the name David has been found in any ancient inscription outside the Bible.”3 Something else is noteworthy about the inscription. The expression “House of David” is written as one word. Language expert Professor Anson Rainey explains: “A word divider . . . is often omitted, especially if the combination is a well-established proper name. ‘The House of David’ was certainly such a proper political and geographic name in the mid-ninth century B.C.E.”5 So King David and his dynasty evidently were well-known in the ancient world.
Did Nineveh-the great city of Assyria mentioned in the Bible-really exist? As recently as the early 19th century, some Bible critics refused to believe so. But in 1849, Sir Austen Henry Layard unearthed ruins of King Sennacherib’s palace at Kuyunjik, a site that proved to be part of ancient Nineveh. The critics were thus silenced on that score. But these ruins had more to tell. On the walls of one well-preserved chamber was a display showing the capture of a well-fortified city, with captives being marched before the invading king. Above the king is this inscription: “Sennacherib, king of the world, king of Assyria, sat upon a nîmedu -throne and passed in review the booty (taken) from Lachish (La-ki-su).”6
This display and inscription, which can be viewed in the British Museum, agree with the Bible’s account of the capture of the Judean city of Lachish by

The Holy Bible is a myth, a work of fiction created by the early church, and King. Created for the sole purpose of organized herd control.

the bible is an intricate web of the spirits of different authors, each one of this with varying motives.
it isn't the whole and exact truth as a whole book, but if u want 2 appreciate the spiritual content within, u can be surprised what u observe (especially with proverbs and the prophetic books).
as when reading anything, it helps 2 understand the topic u r readin in2.

God called the Bible 'perfect', meaning as far as he was concerned, it was complete and will give anyone what they need to achieve everlasting life.
It is the Word of God

I find the hate in the bible fallible. My image of God is an all loving God. I also believe that the "penholders added their own perspective".

The bible is a book of fiction and mythology. It has nothing to do with God.
