Didn’t men write the Bible?

Question

Absolutely. When you write a letter, do you write the letter, or does the pen? Obviously you do; the pen is merely the instrument you use. God used men as instruments to write His "letter" to humanity. They ranged from kings to common fishermen, but the 66 books of the Bible were all given by inspiration of God. Proof that this Book is supernatural can been seen with a quick study of its prophecies.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Dear ES,

I agree with you and I enjoy reading it and giving away copies of the Bible.

Long before I read the Bible from cover-to-cover I intended to re-write the Bible and take out all of the sexist language. What a joke that was! When I finally read it I didn't change it but it sure did change me!

One wonderful thing I noticed was that I had the feeling that it was written directly to me, even though I know it was written long before I was born. It reminds me of looking at a photograph when it seems as though the subject is looking right back at you.

Even though there have been several translations of the Bible they all say just about the same thing. However I've seen a few that are not divinely inspired and there is no sense of the Living Word of God.

Yes, it is fascinating to look at the prophecies and realize that Jesus was the only person who ever had his biography written before He was born!

Answer 2

the lads used intruments. They used pens. gadgets won't be able to apply gadgets. in case you write a letter, and use your pen, do you do it, or does God do it? think of approximately that. The prophecies are void. many that have 'come actual' have explainations. Heck, i will make a prophecy now and it would be actual sometime in the subsequent 2000 years - in case you already know what to jot down. How do you think of fortune tellers paintings?? do you already know what 'self fulling prophecies' are? What else can we've? Ah - 'The Bible is stimulated via God, by way of fact the Bible says that's'. Oh ok. Now, we could anticipate that God DID motivate those men to jot down the Bible, as his gadgets. A product won't be able to be suited without suited gadgets. a narrative written with a pen with a wonky nib would be messy - whether written via a caligropher. A nail hit my a hammer with a broken head will injury, whether hit via the terrific builder - men ARE IMPERFECT. So via YOUR good judgment, SO IS THE BIBLE.

Answer 3

I think the thing to take into consideration is how do we as IMPERFECT men interpret prophetic dreams or visions we recieve. Or even messages form God. There are mnay today who claim God talks to hem and inspires their messages. And not all these messages bear God Love or Just Attitude. SO If man Wrote the bible it is safe to assume that imperfection could have transfered when those words were written on paper and recorded.

Answer 4

I think...I agree with you. I read Evidence that Demands a Verdict, by Josh McDowell, along with several Lee Strobel books, and they led me to the same conclusion.
The Bible was divinely inspired, and IS the word of God.

Answer 5

You are right. Men did write the scriptures. Men also decided which scriptures would be included in the bible and which ones were to be left out.

Answer 6

The answer is in your question: the man wrote the Bible.

Answer 7

WOW ...
THEN EVERY BOOK IS WRITTEN BY GOD ...
NOT BY HUMANS OR PENS ...
AND GOD DECIDED TO WRITE NOT ONLY ONE BIBLE BUT 66 VERSIONS OF BIBLE .. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY HE WROTE IT 66 TIMES AND IN 66 VERSIONS ? ...
