How important is it to believe that the Bible is perfect when there is nothing perfect in the process by which it is delivered and received?

Answer 1

Fact: The Bible was written by 40 different authors from various walks of life, for example: # Moses was an adopted son of Pharaoh and a shepherd;

# Amos was a shepherd; # Solomon was a king; # Peter was a fisherman; # Daniel was ruler over the province of Babylon; # Luke was a physician; # Matthew was a tax collector; # Paul was a Jewish Rabbi and tent maker. These 40 different authors have (unbeknownst to one another) penned a portion of a book which when combined into a single book (The Bible) not only holds true to a central theme, but communicates the meaning of life, which in and of itself is a miracle. The book asks and answers the question, "how can one know that this book contains the word of God?" noted in this scripture found in Isaiah (44:7): 'Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place. In other words, "I challenge you to explain the past; if you can (and I know you can't) then tell me the future. Best of luck. -God..." With the ancient fragments that have been recovered the Bible can be re-assembled a minimum of ~10,000 times Oh, and people died to get it to you.
