The Bible is neither the word of God or Satan.
The Bible is neither the word of God or of Satan; rather it is an anthology of anthologies and a collection of works covering several totally different subjects.
The main types and purposes of different parts of the Bible are passages that show how humans of different eras, cultures, societies and mythos view God and their relationship with that God; passages that develop and create a people and define their identity over time; passages that define the evolving legal system of specific cultures and passages that present general philosophy.
There is another point and that is there is no such thing as "The Bible", different Chapters of Club Christian have decided varying lists of what should be considered as Books of the Bible. Since there is no uniform and universal Canon the most reasonable conclusion is that Bibles are simply the work of man.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: The Bible is neither the word of God or Satan.
I'm not even sure what "Was it moral men or something else" could even mean.
Were the authors of the various books moral within the morals of the day? Who know or cares.
In the books that might deal with morals did the authors accurately reflect the morals of their era, culture, society? External evidence seems to indicate that they did.

Re: The Bible is neither the word of God or Satan.
I'm certainly not going to watch some youtube video; sorry but my time is too valuable to waste like that.
Of course many parts of the Bible were written by folk with an agenda. I already explained some of the agendas too you. See Message 5.

If you have a point then post it here. If you think someone has a point, bring them here.
