The scriptures were written by men, not God. God is mentioned frequently in the scriptures, but it is a matter of faith that these are historical references.
Answer:
Scriptures were given to men by God to let us know how much God cares for / loves us.
They were written by men, but in some cases God wrote them "The Ten Commandments", some were told to a man directly by God, as was done with Moses, where the last were inspired by God.
Yes. I agree, it is all about faith.
God began the "assembly" of His written Word with Moses and God's assembly of Abraham's children from Egyptian bondage. The subsequent preservation of the scriptures was entrusted to the Israelites."This is he [Moses], that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the Mount Sina [Sinai], and with our fathers: who received the Lively Oracles [God's inspired scriptures] to give to us." (Acts 7:38)
One, I think, in Revelations.
"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you (welfare) and not to harm you (disaster), plans to give you a hope and a future." Jer. 29:11
The word of god is revealed to us in the scriptures. For example in the old testament the word of God was told to the prophets, and in the new testament we have the word of Jesus.
I believe just one, in the book of Revelations.
In my church we learn from them. I go to a pentecostal church and we think that the scriptures are the word of God. God tells us our history, why we are here, and what he has done for us. he has also told us how we should live. to us God is our loving father and everything he does is for us. i NOT saying that he make bad things happen, but God is so awesome that he can take the bad and turn it to good! if you are going to read The Bible, i suggest that you start at the beginning. read Genesis 1:1 through to Genesis 9:17 then read the gospels.
Actually in the Bible, Grace is the unmerited favor of God to make us acceptable and give us right standing before God.
The Scriptures are important because they help you to grow in your Christian life. Reading the Bible daily will help you spiritually, and it helps us to see what God says. The Bible is a sword and shield.
The Word of God, which is contained in the Scriptures, of the Old and New Testaments, is the only rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy Him.

No, God never gives up on us. He loves us and has an unfailing faith in us.
God is an unknowable essence in this life but has revealed Himself to humanity through the various scriptures. Through many scriptural revelations, mankind has been able to benefit from the Laws handed down through the Ages.
