God inspired the men to write the accounts within the Bible, they wrote what they saw as important and the Holy Spirit made sure they did not misrepresent the accounts and that the truth was written down. Just because you want to see each written account say the exact same thing doesn't mean the accounts are in no way untruthful. As a matter of fact if they had been written that way you would say they were just copies of one writing and actually that's what some say about the gospel accounts just because they are very similar. So you will argue from any position, because you do not want the Bible to be true, it being true would mean you would be in eternal trouble.

how do you know it's inspired by god then?
he would be capable of writing a perfect book no problem.... But the book he allegedly 'inspired' is indistinguishably human from all others. so how do you know?
I know because God has revealed the truth of scriptures to me, I've asked Him some very serious question about scripture to the point of questioning why they were written as they are. God has answered at times when I wasn't expecting an answer or had even given up on getting an answer. To put the answers in a nutshell for you, God said, I Am the Truth. Meaning He can only give us the truth when it comes to teaching us with the scriptures.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
