For those of you that do believe in the Christian God or even those that might want to speak hypothetically do you think the bible is what God wanted it to be? I got this idea mostly from the topic about the dead sea scrolls. There is still so much that is and could be missing. It was all written so long ago.
If I did believe in it I would like to think that its meaning has just been corrupted by man over time. It was even written by men and they could have put things that they wanted to say in it. How can someone really say it divinely inspired. How exactly can a person decide if something like that is truly divinely inspired or not? Some parts are left out if they aren't considered divinely inspired but what makes them any more or less valid than whats in there? They were all written by the hand of man. Since man can make mistakes why should any the books should be considered more or less valid than another?
