English author Charles Dickens noted about the Bible: “It is the best book that ever was or will be known in the world . . . because it teaches you the best lessons by which any human creature . . . can possibly be guided.”

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.
All scriptures is inspired by God. Men wrote down what God wanted them to. That's why all the books in the Bible are in harmony.

Do you know what American author Mark Twain said about the Bible?
"It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies."
--Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain

Was that before or after he was put over the pyre by the Christians?
Of course he said it: If he was born in a Buddhist country he would have said it about Buddhism's book, in a moslem country about the Koran etc

And typically hypocritically, Dickens was an adulterer who had a mistress.

You know what Mark Twain said about it?
"It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."

And also he said " . . . what such people miscall their religion, is a vent for their bad humours and arrogance."
:) Smart and eloquent man, wasn't he?

I bet he would have said the same thing about the Book of Mormon, had he ever had the chance to read it.
