Because God chose people, He gave them His spirit. It's hard to explain... it's God's word, God speaking to us. The people who actually wrote it were merely His vessels. It's not their book, and it shouldn't make a difference who they are, because ultimately, it's the message that matters. The people who "wrote" it aren't the authors.

i agree with sandy about God giving people His spirit so that they knew what to write ;) that's what he did, so really when we say 'the apostle paul wrote this book' or whatever we have to remember that it the bible was not man-inspired - man-thought-up. man was God's vessel in writing the Bible - the bible was written by God through man. :)
and as i always say - y'all may be sick of me saying this :D - without God we couldn't think a clear thought, so it would make sense that God was the one that gave men the words for the Bible, you know? ;)
and yeah - it would seem like someone was making a joke if a book said 'by God'.

so you ACtually understood all that babble, savannah? man . . . i've gotta say, congrats. i am very confusing, even to myself at times, and any time someone figures out what exactly all my weirdness means it's a miracle.

I think it - you know, your problem - is quite simple because I figured out - a while ago, actually - that you use too many hyphens. These dashes - these pauses - are confusing when you use them so much - in a confusing way. XD

The Bible is the Word of God, Aoibeheann. Yes, there are times when we simply do not feel like reading it and it seems boring - but God commands Christians, His children, to read His Word. Plus His Word holds so many promises for us that we tend to forget, and it's wonderful to be reminded of them again by reading them. We shouldn't view the Bible as a "very deep book" or a "Christian book" because it's not just some book out there. It's the Word of God, something that will greatly benefit us to read. We should not only view it as, "God says I have to read this" but as "I need and want to read this" - and I, for example, can greatly struggle with that, so I have to continually pray to God and ask Him to put a love and desire for His Word in my heart.
And now that I've rambled (sorry, people, that's just how I am - I get rambling way too easily) and probably confused you and gone on and on about something you weren't even asking, I shall end this comment. Lol xD

I'm almost done reading the whole Bible. It's rather boring in some parts, but the more I read it, the better I understand it.
By the way, you spelled my name wrong.

That part is REALLY boring. I like the New Testiment the best.
Well, novels today are interesting because of the descriptions. Metaphors and sarcasm, etc. But God's word isn't like that, probably because it needs to be clear - I mean, even the way it is now, people twist a LOT of stuff.

All parts of the Bible have a meaning.


Why would anyone believe in documents that are 4000 years old and were written by people who would view a click pen as a form of sorcery?

Power hungry men would say that they created the world not God...

They didn't think a click ppen was sorcery because their was no such thing as a click pen and they wouldn't think it was sorcery they would just think it was new and modern...just asking bbut where did you get that idea?
How come the Bible is written anonymous- well I suppose they couldn't write the over 40 authors but even so!
