we all know that men are not perfect, so using this we can deduct that the bible is not perfect because man is not perfect.
so why is everybody saying the bible is perfect when man could easily make mistakes and mess it up?

Well, man did mess it up. Badly.
There are thousands of inconsistencies, absurdities, contradictions, cruelties, and immoral guidelines within the pages of the Bible. A novice reader will see 20 of them within the first 5 pages.
God seems to work in mysterious, inefficient, and breathtakingly cruel ways.

God inspired men to write what He wanted written. If you STUDY the Bible, which most don't, the puzzle fits. Man alone could not have written these things and make them fit. Daniel wrote many things he did not understand. God told him to seal them up, these things are not meant for you to understand. Man will understand in the last days.

Look it up in the bible and it would give you your answer. Yes man were not perfect. And the bible says that the bible is "beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness,advantage....." Check this out in 2 Peter 1:20,21 and 2 Timothy 3:16, 17. This would give you the answer to your question.

Agreed.
I never said the Bible was perfect.
My Astronomy text book is not perfect. It says there are 9 planets and Pluto is a planet. We all know that's not true! My Astronomy text book was written by Fred Hoyle, PH D

The Bible answers for itself precept upon precept. 2nd Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12...Isaiaih 28:10

You mean like writing "deduct" instead of "deduce". Stop trying to sound smarter than us poor stupid Christians. The Bible is written by men because it is God's desire to have a relationship with those he creates. The idea of being inspired is a way of being blessed by God with the task of putting God's love into words. God could have written it himself, but if you actually read the Bible you'll discover it's not quite how He works!

God used these men as we would use a pen or pencil to express His ideas. The tool has no say in what is written. And by the power of the Holy Spirit neither did these men.

Because it is the word of God thru men. A pen cannot write by itself but if you use it, you can write poetry with it.

The men were moved by the holy spirit so strongly, it was basically like god was doing it himself, and the bible has a 100% accuracy dealing with prophecy, so its wise to take god's word for it

Men can make all kinds of mistakes. God can not. So when he choose and inspired the people he used, he knew which ones to use, and to guide them, to it done right. Simple question.
