When you read the bible, what about it makes you feel that it is divinely inspired? [Spirituality & Religion]

Because i don't get that sense at all when i read it. Just the opposite in fact.

Is God a socialist? Here, for example:
Isaiah 65
"(21) They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. (22) No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat."
Divinely inspired words. I think you will find nothing in Roman or Greek books even remotely like this.
@helenS

Sorry, can you be a little more explicit in why such a thing should be considered divine? I know it's not just because other people of the time hadn't said the same thing.

@Pikachu People of the time when Isaiah lived? Name an example please.
@helenS

Huh?

@Pikachu Isaiah was a contemporary of Homer. Try to find anything like Isaiah 65 in Homer's works.
@helenS

Oh i think you misunderstood my post. I didn't say that other people were saying the same things.
I was assuming that you weren't basing the attribution of divinity on the mere fact that other people of that time hadn't said the same things.

@helenS The Bible is brilliantly written for sure!
@helenS Is Shakespeare divinely inspired? Good poetry isn’t proof of God.
