Most Christians claim that the bible is the word of God!
Dr. W. Graham Scroggie of the MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE, Chicago, one of the most prestigious Christian Evangelical Mission in the world, answering the question — "Is the Bible the Word of God?"
(also the title of his book), under the heading: IT IS HUMAN, YET DIVINE.
He says on page 17: "Yes, the Bible is human, though some, out of zeal which is not according to knowledge,
1 have denied this. Those books
2 have passed through the minds of men, are written in the language of men , were penned by the hands of men, and bear in their style the characteristics of men.".
The Bible itself doesn't say that, it is very clear that the bible (each one) is words of a witness or a historian who is writing about "the word of God"
Mathew, Luke, etc.
As it is human work, it has errors like
II CHRONICLES 36
9. Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
II KINGS 24
8. Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mothers name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Was he 18 or 8? either one of these statement is wrong or both are!
II CHRONICLES CHAPTER 9
25. And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and welve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
I KINGS CHAPTER 4
26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
was it 40 or 4 thousand?????
There is no need to bring other errors, I can give 100s of errors like that!
