Because the bible says god chose the Hebrew people as his people.
Both Judaism and Christianity consider the Hebrew Bible to be part of their sacred scriptures. Islam believes that the Hebrew Bible is the writings of the prophets of God but that the Koran is the ultimate prophecy given by God.
It always depend on the motive. And you should consider also what is written in the bible.
"God" doesn't say anything because he doesn't exist. I believe that the mortal author of the bible would consider it bad though.
Yes, Catholics believe that the Bible is true. They consider it to be the inspired and infallible Word of God which contains the teachings that God has revealed to humanity. However, they interpret the Bible within the context of Sacred Tradition and the teachings of the Church.
No, The Bible is the inspired word of God. Meaning , God inspired the writers to write what they did. In other words, it is God spreaking to you when you read the Bible.
Jews consider the Torah to be the word of God and consider the Christian additions to the Hebrew scriptures to be spurious. Christians generally consider the Torah to be the word of God, since they include it as part of the Christian Bible (the books of Genesis through Deuteronomy), while Christians generally consider the Koran to be spurious. Islam considers both Christianity and Judaism to be divinely inspired and accepts the Christian Bible (including the Jewish Bible) as being largely the word of God, except that they consider Jews and Christians to have made mistakes in transmitting some of the stories, notably where there are conflicts with the Koran. Note that, while Jews consider the Christian and Islamic scriptures to be spurious, they do not deny that these contain genuine wisdom and that they can be used to teach a righteous path in life that is acceptable to God. Christians generally have a harder time with non-Christian religions because Christianity has long taught that it is the only path to salvation.
The bible reveals that God is Love--but don't forget that God didn't write the bible. Men wrote the bible--out of their experience with God--however short their experience or their understanding.
No we were closer to god when it all started in the Bible but we are always with god.
The Holy Bible was written from and about God's deeds and acts.
God is the author of The Bible.
Difficult to answer that question, as there are some verses in the Bible that seem to state that the Bible is the word of God. The problem with this is that many of the biblical authors did not know that they were contributing to a collection of 66 books that would one day be considered "the word of God." The Bible does NOT claim absolute infallibility. In fact, there are several occasions in which Paul explicitly states that what he is writing is opinion, and that he does not know what God's "position" on the issue would be. It is very possible that God created the Bible, but that the Bible is not perfect. Consider that God created people, yet people are imperfect. I'm not trying to persuade in any direction; just trying to present the facts as I see them.
