There's too much wisdom in the bible that no man with his own human mind could write so much wisdom!!
The bible is a book that tells us what is good and what is bad!! and that's why people don't like the Bible because they want to keep doing whatever they like!
Sorry but how can the bible be inspired by men!! that's never possible!! the bible explain that All men are sinners!! So how can a man full of sins is going to be able to write the bible! No
The bible is the most Controversial book of all history!! you can't say no!! and you know why - because is God's Word!!
God selected men to write his word, in different times and seasons, and these people were inspired by the Holy Spirit!!
by saying that the bible is a man made book ,It's like saying clouds are man made!! or animals are man made!!
sorry but the bible contains so much wisdom and teaching we could learn to be better people!!

It is a man-made book... as all books are. ;) But I agree that the Bible is God-inspired!

"There's too much wisdom in the bible that no man with his own human mind could write so much wisdom!!"
- So all the murder in it is wisdom? Wow... could've fooled me.
- Ever heard of scientists? They have great wisdom and they're humans.
"The bible is a book that tells us what is good and what is bad!! and that's why people don't like the Bible because they want to keep doing whatever they like!"
- It tells you to kill homosexuals for example. Is that good? It tells you that disbelieving in a god who will make you burn in Hell is bad. Are you sure that you agree with that?
- Morals are instilled in our genes via Natural Selection. Not from some old book.
"Sorry but how can the bible be inspired by men!!"
- Well... it has over 40 different authors. All of which were HUMANS! Probably all men too.
"that's never possible!!"
- The Bible is full of contradictions. Would a PERFECT god write a book full of contradictions?
"the bible explain that All men are sinners!!"
- And how can you believe sin exists? Much less that ALL men have it?
"by saying that the bible is a man made book ,It's like saying clouds are man made!! or animals are man made!!"
- At least you admit clouds and animals aren't man made.
"sorry but the bible contains so much wisdom and teaching we could learn to be better people!!"
- Either that or it's another reason for another war based on theistic religion and its teachings from some Holy Book.

I nominate this for stupidest question ever.
"There's too much wisdom in the bible that no man with his own human mind could write so much wisdom!!"
You have done NO RESEARCH on the Bible. At all. No one who has done the least bit of research would make so dumb a claim. The Bible wasn't written by ONE PERSON.
"The bible is a book that tells us what is good and what is bad!! and that's why people don't like the Bible because they want to keep doing whatever they like!"
Apparently, you haven't READ the darn book, either. People don't like the Bible because it's a book chock-full of inconsistencies, absurdities, cruelties, contradictions, injustice, sexism, and intolerance.
"The bible is the most Controversial book of all history!! you can't say no!! and you know why - because is God's Word!!"
You're peeing on your own foot. If it's God's Word, why is it controversial?
"God selected men to write his word, in different times and seasons, and these people were inspired by the Holy Spirit!!"
What proof do you have of the "Holy Spirit"? The Bible.
Circular logic, anyone?
"by saying that the bible is a man made book ,It's like saying clouds are man made!! or animals are man made!!"
No. It's not. No one is stupid enough to make these claims.
"sorry but the bible contains so much wisdom and teaching we could learn to be better people!!"
Right. Like stoning disobedient children and not beating your slaves TOO hard.

The bible was written by men. You cannot deny that. Are you saying that someone was walking around and found a manuscript lying in the sand and presto we now have a bible? You had someone (actually lots of different people) write it. The debate is over where these writers got their wisdom. Some believe it was a god, some believe that it was not a god but instead a diety they made up to explain their world.
You have very little respect for humans if you believe that humans cannot obtain wisdom. You are saying that the only source that man can get wisdom is from the bible. I once heard that you get good wisdom from experience and experience from bad wisdom. What is taught in the bible is stuff learned from life.
Don't forget there is also some bad stuff in the bible. Slavery, war, murder. All endorsed by whoever wrote the bible.

Well, its the way God workes....He wrote the Bible, but through men. So even though it is mens hands that did the actual work, God put the wisdom and thoughts in their heads. He gave them the urge to put into words everything that is in the Bible now.
And even though some of it might have been lost in translation over the years, i believe that translating the Bible into other languages is also God's doing. I mean, when the deciples were filled with the holy spirit, it says they spoke in tongues (which can have two meaning, both of which are correct, they spoke in the language of the holy spirit and in other foreighn languages). God wants every one to be able to understand His word, not just some people. It is is much easier to mislead people if they cannot even read their holy book in their own language.
God is so powerful, he would never let thefundamental meaning of His words be lost.
I agree with you completely, the Bible to me is almost part of nature, i cannot imagine the earth without the Bible. ; )

You should try reading something besides the bible once in a while and you will discover that there is a wealth of literature with a breathtaking amount of mankind's wisdom over the ages. And while the bible may have some basic wisdom in it, it is also full of contradiction both in word and deed, and full of outdated rules to live by, rules that were useful in a more primitive time but rules we've now outgrown and need to move away from.

The Bible states that if a woman does not bleed enough on her Wedding Night, she is to be publicly stoned to death.
It also states that an unmarried woman who is raped is required to be the wife of the rapist.
The Bible requires animal sacrifices to 'gods'. That's is insane. Then the New Testament replaces this with the even more barbaric notion of human sacrifice.
There is no wisdom in the Bible, only violent tribal nonsense.

Except every single teaching in the bible had been done before by pagans and especially eastern philosophies such as Taoism and Confucius. Every "wisdom" is not exclusive to the bible but is present in the much older religions the bible plagiarized and borrowed from.
The only thing the bible is unique in morally is its cruelty... In the bible you must stone to death those who work on Sunday, who don't marry as a virgin, disobedient children, and so on. You must cut off people's hands for silly reasons, selling your daughter as a sex slave is good, slavery is good, rape is fine (even encouraged), slaughtering innocent women and children is advocated, and so on. All the unique stuff in the bible is evil and cruel, while its good parts are stolen from older religions.

The Bible is the interpreted word of God. God gave His wisdom to humanity, but He did not dictate it. Because of this, it is partially man made. Humans interpret the Bible in their own way.
On the other hand, the Koran is the actual word of Allah. One of Allah's angels dicated it to Mohammed. This makes it totally deity-made.
The last bit was just a contrast. The Bible is the writings of man inspired by God.

Certain Religions twist and leave out parts of the bible to fit their religious teachings and practices. They edit it to what they do. Which in my opinion, is not what they should be doing at all. they should have the full, unedited version; the way the bible should be. thats why in some ways the bible could be a "man made book".

By that reasoning, the Oxford English Dictionary must have been dictated by God. The text of a freshman philosophy course contains wisdom as well, so God must be in the academic book business.
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius and the Analects of Confucius, as well as "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," "Bleak House" and "Slaughterhouse 5" must have all been works of God.
May I suggest that the use of exclamation points does not make your rather ill-thought-out point of view any more persuasive.
