it was a finished work even before the worlds were framed in the mind of God ...He inspired man...who were used by God to put it on paper...this does not mean man was not allowed to put what he wanted ...God inspired man...He gave man what to write...Need an example..??
Look in Jeremiah 36:4...I will post the scripture in case you don't have a bible ...
starting from the first verse...let me tell you ...first ...God commanded Jeremiah to write on a roll...And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2. Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
God gave the prophet the words to write...BUT Jeremiah was not who wrote...it was a man by the name of Baruch...He was a scribe...one who writes...vs 4..Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
This is a primary example...but lets look in the New Testament...2 Peter 1.......
Peter testifying says ... For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty....vs 17 ..For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
OK so Peter was an eyewitness to God speaking from heaven...but He says ...we have a more sure word of Prophesy...which means...in time the witness of hearing God speak from heaven eventually...dies out ..because for one Peter will not be around forever...So what is written is more sure...and it is called a More sure word of Prophesy...like Jeremiah...was given the word to be written...on a roll...by men...who were men of God ...and had integrity...and the fear of the Lord(respect,,Reverance) of God...
so he continues..vs ..19...We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:..this is the gospel...
The next verse lets us know..that Every Christian...cannot have a private interpretation...otherwise known as an Opinion...
vs 20-21.... Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
vs 21 Lets you know that the word was not mans will but God...
Now I want to say this about the bible ...God inspired it ..but like I first said .it was a finished work even before the world was framed...and God being eternal..Alpha and Omega ..beginning and end..already has seen ..that man would not be able to change it...to make it null and void...these last couple of scriptures...shows how impossible it is for a man to change Gods word..
Jeremiah 30:20-21.......Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21. Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant,
Another words...if can stop night from being night and day from being day...then you can change Gods word......what more...needs to be said...God said it I believe it that settles it...

I go in O. T. from Genesis to Solomon to figure out that part straight from the bible, then do a study on the Prophets in harmony with the kings time. I works for me.
It easy to see that the apostles were left with a job simular to the prophets and from 50 to 100 years after Christ, they had the job of N. T. done.
Some say they expected end time in their time.
We were not meant to get the bible untill end times.
END TIMES FOR WHO?
Rev.12:1-12 [ Satan cast down ];
Michael of jude 9; in Dan.12:1-13 end times, with holy angels, cast Satan and unholy angels out of heaven. SATAN HAS A SHORT TIME. World from Eden with him ends.
Rev.20:1-6,12,13;
No Satan for 1000 years, the heavenly first resurrected are with Jesus.
To resurrect the earthly for the new earth.
Eph.2:7; 3:21; The world with Jesus is without end. John 3:16;

Humans wrote it to keep people in line, to tell them stories about good morality and give them home that they'll live good, fruitful lives. It's easier to be healthy and happy if you think you're important.
Later, lawmakers and the big guns in the church decided exactly which parts of the bible people should and shouldn't be allowed to see. And thus, we have the modern bible.
Contrary to what some say, it was not written by any god, nor by men writing for any god. Just men.

God inspired 40 different writers (from farmers to Kings) to write 66 little books in about 1600 years time (about 1513 B.C.E. to 98 C.E.) to form the Bible. It is human's manual just like car, tv, computer, etc. have manuals.

The bible says that it was God Breathed this term means It was God inspired. It might sound crazy but God told them what to say. they didnt hear a voice or maybe in some cases they did, they just knew what to say because God put the thought in there mind? does that make sense? it can be hard to understand and accept.

The Bible is the inspired Word of the Living God Jehovah.
The writers of the Old and New testaments were inpired by God to write what they wrote.
The Bible is true and without error.
In fact, it has NEVER been proven wrong but, over and over again, it has been proven correct.

you can give a lot of credit to constantine and the council of nicea, 325-AD, for editing and compiling the bible
funny thing is, constantine was a pagan roman emperor. get that -- a pagan edited and compiled that particular cult book. cracks me up.
you can try to choke down the nonsense that god inspired it, until you actually study that garbage. then you know it was created by men, trying to explain god, but mostly, to use it as a tool of controlling the masses. and it worked. it still does.
