No it can't be wrong, but the interpretation sure can be. Not all who try to explain the Word of God, or the Bible, know what they are talking about. You need to be careful about that. Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

Assuming you mean the Christian God and Bible *and* that God divinely inspired the Bible, I'd say we have no way of knowing whether it's correct or not, in entirety or in any specific section. An omnipotent, omniscient being need not be always "good", and even if so, we'd first need to prove that telling lies can never be good.
You could argue that the Bible indicates through the Ten Commandments -- and probably other passages, which those more knowledgeable than me could cite -- that telling lies is a sin, but there is a problem with using this to establish that the Bible is correct (or at least, *was* before translations):
1. Even if it's a sin for man to tell lies, God does not necessarily have to apply this rule to himself.
2. If it is indeed not a sin (for either man or God) to tell lies, then perhaps the very commandment not to tell lies is itself an establishment of a lie. In that case, God could, at his whim, be mixing truths and falsehoods throughout the Bible, for whatever his greater purpose is. The idea here is that Biblical scripture can not establish its own veracity, EVEN IF you assume that God himself wrote the very words!

No it can't be wrong. People will try to prove it wrong but always remeber the Bible is the most historicly accurate book from its time peroid.
All the prophesis are fufilled in history(except some in revaltion).
I believe every word was placed their by design.
A cool fact from Gen:5 AS A BIT OF PROOF.
Name-meanings
Adam - Man
Seth - appointed
Enosh - mortal
Kenan - sorrow
mahalalel - The blessed God
Jared - shall come down
Enoch - teaching
Methuselah(Oldest man in the Bible) - his death shall bring
Lamech - despairing
Noah - comfort
All together
Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow (but) the blessed God shall come down teaching his death shall bring despairing comfort.
Prophesy of Jesus death.
Isnt that amazing!
God loved us enough to give us his word!

The Bible is the word of God. God does not err.
However, nowhere in the Bible there is a promise of the purity of the Scriptures throughout the whole history, but there is a great dew of evidence that the Bibles were read extremely close to the original, inspired manuscripts that the prophets and apostles wrote.

The question should be; "if it is the word of god, then why is it so VERY very wrong?"

You are assuming there is wrong and right... There is only cause and effect. You're also assuming we speak the same language as 'god' so therefore there wouldn't be anything 'lost in translation'.

No for God is infaulable and he gave us the Bible as a gift so we can follow Christ to our best possible length

No its cant because god is all-knowing. But the idea of god actually existing and communicating is so laughable that its not even worth entertaining.

the bible was written by man therefore I don't think it's the word of god. there are some good values in the bible, but other than that it's just a book, a very boring book

It can be used in wrong ways.
Is a scalpel a tool of healing, or a weapon of harm, or an instrument of torture? It all depends on how you wield it.
