Once the Bible got into the hands of the common man, who thought about things and came to understand God quite well, it's words were more clearly and accurately spread throughout the world.

The point I'm making is that the Bible isa collection of observations about life as it relates to God. They were observing God in real life, and describing Him and His ways as best as they could with their limited human ability and knowledge. They did not include, nor did they even get correct, everything about God within the Bible.
He is far too vast for one book to contain.
The issue really isn't that complex. Here are your two options:
1. The Bible IS the Word of God
2. The Bible IS NOT the Word of God
You seem to want to say, "well, it's not but..." This is not an option. Is/is not are you two options. Which is it?
