i believe that most of the books in the bible were undisturbed quotes from God himself. but like revelations that was a dream John had, which was not DIRECT. i believe Genesis was from God, because, duh no one was there. i believe Exodus was from Moses, he wrote down everything that occured. see, there are some that are and some that are not.
Aright, if genisis is from god and no one was there to see it, then how on earth did it end up in the bible if noone was there to witess the happening? Lets suppose that god DID tell his followers. Even from there its a loong road up till the era when people learned to write (ahem) or, ignoring that detail, its a few thousands of years worth of hearsay.

yes, actually i can. in the creation of the bible, it took so much time and dedication to bring it together, lots of books denied God's authority so were tossed out, why? well hmm i think there were also people who HATED God and his love so they wrote about their hatred. anyway any books that denied God's power, love, and Jesus' sacrificed were tossed out of the bible. it wasnt a simpl "o ok bye bye" deal, it took tons of hard work and dedication to get it rihgt. of course then that makes you think "then its what man has put together not God" this isnt true! God inspired all those books, and man FOUND all the "correct" ones and put them together, with the help of prayer. its simple, all aspects of the bible agree with eachother! there is none that contradict, so i would assume the puzzles fit perfectly fine.
who are you to decide that it was inspired? not even the writers were so bold to write that they had been inspired to write some of the bible's verses. many, many books were written about god and decided on over time, but PEOPLE wrote the bible, and your interperatation is just that and ignores the individual's pursuit of an agenda. On top of that, we need to review our history. The council of Nicea voted on the status of jesus as the son of god or the creation of god before anything was to be done about selecting books; they didnt start with the intentions of "weeding out the lies"
the bible was put together by people and by people alone. you saying that it was god inspired is simply an excuse with no power behind it. Had chance fallen a little differently, had matt or mark or luke or john died a premature death at the hand of some cutpurses, would they still have been included?
