God And The Bible

Who wrote the Bible? Did God have any part in it?

I think it's quite safe to say people wrote the Bible, but I simply do not know if it is divinely inspired in any way. And if one believes that it is, do they also believe much the same in regards to the Qur'an or the Bhagavad Gita as well, for examples? How could one tell if one is supposedly inspired but the others are not?

Is it more important to consider who wrote portions of the Bible or their quality of mind?

Perhaps the Bible is written as it is so that our quality of mind capable of being open to higher reality would allow us to be seen or consciously recognized from above. If so, those who wrote certain aspects of the Bible had an understanding of real psychology to produce such an opening and the Bible was a means for our conscious recognition and help from above..

Well...since we all have god within (some more conscious of that connection than others) then they are all probably god inspired.....

I think the Bible is inspired and belongs to the spiritual heritage of humanity... For a "book" to be around as long as the Bible and have inspired so many it is inspired but this doesn't mean it is a science textbook.. or the only Holy Book to provide Divine Guidance.
