Excuse me, but the people that say the answer is "God" have completely missed the point.

I believe it to be a matter of faith. Could a book representing several sources or hundreds of years be the basis for all Christians? I guess it seems unlikely, but I have faith that it is God-inspired. There isn't some "smoking gun" piece of evidence and probably won't be, it simply is a matter of faith.

The bible was formed 1500 years after Jesus death. Also in 325 A.D at Nicea they had an assembly where under the eye and agenda of the Emperor they took certain scriptures, edited them removing concepts and adding other things in which would through changing it harmonize them into fitting a certain teaching that could be exploited by the political beast which would put people in a servitude mindset and take the power out of their own hand and make them seem like they can't do anything. And what followed after that was the genocide of any other sect that didn't agree with that and the more pure scriptures were taken and burned, destroyed. So if people think that this whole act was God inspired then their obviously delusional.
And yes that is circular reasoning.

There are no longer any contradictions interior the Bible ! in basic terms an uneducated mindset to analyzing it. Jewish proverb "because of the fact the sea is often open for all and sundry which needs to cleanse himself, so are the gates of repentance consistently open to the sinner." what's a contradiction ? Contradiction: once you have 2 statements of an adventure which could no longer the two be actual on the comparable time then you definitely've a contradiction! The omission of an adventure does not make a contradiction because of the fact the form isn't secure , the two could be actual in basic terms no longer secure in that point of view. what's a Translation : The meaning of a translation does not substitute because of the fact of what a be conscious is known to precise. as long because it does not substitute the reason. this is it expresses the comparable meaning yet clarifies it from one language to a different. regulations to flow by ability of whilst examining the Bible : a million. who's talking ! 2. who're they chatting with ? 3. decrease than whose authority ? 4. what's the project or context ? 5. What Dispensation of Time (stepped forward learn)

The bible does say at 2 Tim 3:16 & 17 that "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, reproving and setting things straight."
Of course, you may think, well that's easy for the bible to say that, but the fulfullment of prophecies alone, gives proof of divine
backing. Who else foretold in advance who the world powers would be. Where Jesus would be born, that he would be born a virgin....basically all of Jesus life was foretold ahead of time. There are things that have been fulfilled in the 20th century. There's not a whole lot left to be fulfilled.

God does. Or rather authors of the Word inspired by the Holy Spirit given by God the Father. 2timothy 3:16 all scripture is inspired by the word of God...

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy 3:16
All means ALL!

The scribes who wrote the Bible tell us that the words they wrote are not their own.
The evidence of the Bible itself supports Divine Inspiration.
66 Books.
40 different writers.
Written over a period of thousands of years.
With consistant themes and cross references.
It's definitely not a work that is humanly inspired.

(2 Tim. 3:16) "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, and setting things straight."

If it weren't how would you explain so many thing that were spoken of and foretold in the Old Testament coming true in the New Testament thousands of years later?
