Many believe only parts of it are.
"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. The Bible does not simply contain the word of God. Rather, it is the Word of God.
what do u think?

THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD.
ALL OF IT.

Blind faith may be adequate for some. However it is a bit better to question. It is difficult to believe that a group of german catholics somehow knew which scriptures are inspired by God and obviously refused other scriptures of the time. Perhaps all scripture or at least the ones that have survived for a few hundred years were (are) inspired by God and have purpose.

"Inspiration" comes from infinite sources. I wish that--many--people would research the history of Christianity. Over much time, "prophets" have contradicted one another, & "changes" have been awesome. If indeed, there is such a thing as "The word of God," you will not find it by the words of men. There is a tendency to "pick & choose" what suits our OPINIONS OR WISHES. "Many believe only parts of it are." In this statement in your question, is truth. No further comment.

The Bible is the Word of God as long as it is translated correctly. There have been many who have corrupted the bible by taking precious truths out of it.
The only part of the King James Version that I have heard to not be inspired is the Songs of Solomon.

Plural & CONTRARY "Scriptures" aren't the Script-u-are!
Scriptures were written "aforetime" for our "LEARNING"!
It's preposter-us order to teach first and learn afterward!
Howbeit afterward, if perversion instead of conversion?
JC said God said it would be a latter end "WORSE"!
"Seven Spirits" should Ring a Bell about "worse".

Only the singular "script-u-re" is what's inspired of God.

It's a two part Shew, and the New part also has two parts:

All of the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is the word of God. We cant pick and choose from it what we want and dont want. Eitehr you beieve the Bible is the inspired word of God or you dont. and you can choose to Obey God or ignore Him. He gives personal choice, but we all will each be held accountible for the choices we do make. Choose God today, read His word, KNow Him, Love him enough to obey Him, and find the wonderful gift He has planend for each of us, tho many will refuse . The gift is free, but you gotta reach up and accept it for it to be yours. and to hold onto that free gift, one must know Gods word to know how to obey Him. He tells us obedience leads to blessing, and disobedience leads to curse. that sin leads to death. How can we obey God if we dont know eactly what He is saying in all of His word. Choose the King James, the most accurate there is . Ask God to reveal things to you. and He will. For those of you that think all Bibles will do, let me say this.. Take about 10 Bibles, look up a couple of scriptures, and see. Some say the same thing, jsut in different terms, but with same meaning. Some change parts of it. some change all of it and actually say something else all together. The King James is the one most Christians will recognize, as it is closes to what the original tests were.
Either we believe it all or believe none. The scripture you quoted says it all. amen

"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord." - Proverbs 12:22
God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned." - 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
"And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel." - Ezekiel 14:9
The word 'abomination' means God hates it so much that he'll not have anything to do with it whatsoever, and yet we read that he himself puts a lying spirit into his own prophets.....
By his own admission, God himself causes them to lie and then destroys them for it.
Common sense alone makes the Bible look schizophrenic
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" - 2 Peter 3:9.
In 2 Thessalonians, these people have NO chance to receive the “good word”, because god is purposely preventing them from doing so.
"God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned." - 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

The Bible is the inspired word of God. It is 100% right and true. It is to be taken as a whole and not picking and choosing verses as you please. You can't quote God if you don't quote the whole thing. The Holy Spirit is the final author of the Bible, which is written by dozens of people.

Inspired by who?
god does not exist, so not him.
And the scripture you quote, like most scripture, makes no sense.

That's a matter of faith. Either one believes that God inspired men to write it or one believes that the authors made it all up on their own.
