Is the bible/torah/Quran Holy if it was written by man and not by God?
most of these holy stories were carried by word of mouth till put on pen, could they have been diluted by the simple childrens game of telephone?
Does man have the potential to equal god, is man god within his own temple creator of life, thought, and emotion? by thinking that and believing i am god is that helping oneself like jesus preached.

Nothing is "holy" since there is no such creature as a god.

No ifs.
Yes, the Bible is holy.
It was written by men under the inspiration of God, the Holy Spirit.
The continual guidance of the Holy Spirit guarentees that the original meaning of God's Word no matter how many generations carried the Holy Scripture to the next by word of mouth.
Man has great potential but to be a great human not God. God is the creator of the entire universe including humans.
With love in Chirst.

No, the Bible does not call a particular 12 months for the tip even though it did for Christ coming to the temple. while Christ comes lower back, the tip of the international will ensue then. yet 2012 isn't stated in any respect. 2012 would be not something yet a shaggy dog tale in 2013, except of-direction Christ has come before. however the mess ups international extensive: tides getting extra effective, wood being destroyed, fish shares loss of life out etc, - all and sundry of those have been prophesied interior the recent testomony. Worse cases nevertheless to return i'm afraid however the solutions are interior the Holy Bible.

The holy Qu'ran was put on paper as it was revealed, whereas the bible was spoken word for a number of years before it was ever written down, the bible was also determined by man as to what should and should not be included. There are numerous original books that were never placed in the bible and many more were later removed all on the whims of man, whereas the Qu'ran has never differed from it's original text. I do not know about the Torah as I have not read it.

My problem here that the Quran was collected and recorded during its revelation. Also when it was decided for it to be recorded then it recorded by the same scribe who witnesses the revelation occur and then by two witnesses who witnessed to the accuracy of each verse and then it was read over by various companions to be sure.
So you cannot put them all into the same Box because the Quran was collected within two years after the Prophet Muhammad died (peace and blessings of God upon him).
This process which orientalists initially tried to debunk had proved to be accurate because they have now accepted it!
Also the Quran is read in its original language as it was then and now in Arabic. There are millions of people who can read Arabic and read the Quran as it was then. Also around the world people are memorising the Quran and the written versions are checked with people who have these memories. Maybe as many as thousands of people memorise the Quran and every Muslims at least knows one or two chapters by heart.
Also none has added texts to the Quran it is it was.
So now you can see the quran is protected from being lost and is different from the other books, which Muslims do also believe in but we accept that the texts have been changed.
