The apostles who wrote the NT were under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, see Acts. Why would they lie? What did they profit?
They were martyred for telling the truth. Who would have been martyred for the sake of a lie? Did they sin, I think the record shows they were not perfect, but they tried not to, and recognized when they did.

they werent perfect and they did sin. For the gospels God came with divine intervention or something and inspired the aposltes and gave them the power to write the truth. They did not lie, but the Bible isnt literal. After all if adam and eve had 2 sons.....how did the rest of us get here. So a lot of it is mythical to illustrate points and not literal truth, but not a "lie" either

The Bible was written by the Holy Spirit though men. And for the record The Holy Spirit is perfect He is the Spirit of God.

They weren't. They did sin. They may have lied at times. They were human. They were also prophets inspired by God to write the word that was given to them. These scrolls were protected and these words preserved amazingly unchanged over thousands of years. The holy scriptures are a gift from God. They are ancient and unchanged and true. It is not the authors who we believe in, it is in God who gave them the words.

No doubt. We have the Striking accound of King David, who wrote many of the Psalms. Almighty YHVH is able to save what needs to be saved, and to allow to be lost what needs to be lost.The Almighty YHVH set up a system. He sent His “Son” YAHOSHUA to die for the sins of mankind so they would not have to. (They could choose to, but did not have to). Any person who chooses not to allow Yahoshua to take care of their sins, chooses to remain attached to their sins. They thus will wind up in the lake of fire which is YHVH’s method of cleaning this world, and eliminating sin and sinners. The Creator set aside the Seventh day for rest and worship. Yes that is the day usually called “Saturday”. We are not saved by obedience, we are saved by faith. However we are saved FOR obedience. As He said in John 14:15 (and in many other places) “If you love me, keep my commandments.
Churchianity is a pagan religion. The only thing that will change a person is the indwelling savior Yahoshua. Obviously that is rare in this sinful world.

sure. Everyone sins and falls short. To say otherwise makes a liar out of God.
