So...serious question ...please keep scrolling if you are easily offended [I Dont Like Small Talk]

I wonder how I am or anyone for that matter can trust or believe anything written in the bible when it was written by the hands of man ...humans hearts are wicked and lie by it's very nature . How can anyone trust it ? It's not as if God himself wrote these words. I am not asking this to ruffle any feathers ,I am just looking for insight .Just trying to make sense of things that make no sense to me.

I asked a pastor this very question, i was told that while yes, it was written by man it was inspired by God. This lead to my next question, while God is (according to the Bible) infallible man is not, so is it not possible that man got things wrong? The pastor did not have a very satisfactory answer for this.

@istillhaveanameitsrick and another thing ..Doesn't God own a quill or something to write with ?

@SW-User Well with that being said i try not to question other peoples faith. True faith is a very difficult thing and it requires a strength of conviction that i personally do not possess so i say more power to those who have that strength.

@istillhaveanameitsrick No its too complicated a book for people to come up with. Its very very exact each number and each story is complex and exact, like shakespears plays but much more indebth. There are many codes in each book and each persons age has a meaning and each person has a story related to the gospelstory everything means something in the timeline of man. There is no number that is obsolete or by chance. There are many bible codes in the Bible. I'll try to copy 2 interesting You-Tubers here.

@SW-User @istillhaveanameitsrick Here is an intelligent pastor from Canada that has figured out some unbelievable time markers that relates to our time now and the Jews History. He has studied the Bible his whole life and found these numbers out and he is not saying that Jesus will definitely come in 2023 or the rapture will happen then but listen to all the codes he figured out!

It's probably just as accurate as any other version.
