       Contention One: The books in the Bible were written by men, and therefore, contain errors. This means they are not inspired, and therefore, do not need to be followed. This is a common argument that I hear from time to time. Some people want to view the Bible as given solely by man without God’s help because then they can make it equal to the rest of the works of man. If the Bible was just written as the ideas of man, then why do we, as Christians, follow it above any other book? After all, what would make it any more wise or noble than other famous works of man? But thankfully, the Bible was not just written down from men. The Scriptures tell us that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. So, men wrote the Bible as they were inspired by God the Holy Spirit to write it. The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, “All Scripture is breathed out by God” in 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV).
