Why is the Bible considered the word of God? "It's written by men."
Before we respond openly, the most important thing we should know is: what is the bible? and for this it is necessary to know and understand that the bible is not at all like a book of philosophy, biology, metaphysics, or some other science, that as a common characteristic such books always attempt to explain or scientifically prove their content .
Quite the contrary, the bible is a set of writings, which speak of the history of mankind in relation to its creator; and curiously all these writings, to the surprise of many, all revolve around the same central message.
The bible in total is composed of 66 writings, of 40 different authors throughout about 1600 years; and most of them did not know each other, because they lived in different places, at different times, and also had different personalities, professions and levels of education.
It is really surprising to realize that despite all this diversity, the bible presents an absolute coherence around a main message that for more than 2000 years, and so far nobody has ever been able to deny or consider such content, which is: God's plan for humanity. By the way, even scientists now recognize and consider these historical writings as the most reliable there are. Interesting, right? After so many years, after going against, today the science itself, accepts the bible as a reliable writing that explains all creation from the beginning.
Continuing with these realities, which no one can deny today, it is also important to know that this wonderful and revealing book not only narrates historical facts; but it speaks to us about everything, of someone to know; and I must clarify that there is a tremendous difference in this; because the Bible to the truth is not a long list of rules that we must follow, as many have taught it, but rather, it is the testimony that God left us, in order to really know Him.
In fact, science today endorses the bible as a real, historical document, and it is also the book that has been studied and researched throughout history; not only by Christians, but also by people who want to discredit its content and destroy the faith and hope it brings with regard to the salvation of humanity.
Another notable reality is that those who wrote it, undoubtedly did so under the direct control and inspiration of God, who through the Holy Spirit guided them as they wrote, to write exactly what he wanted; (that is what the theologians call "the Divine Inspiration").
Dear friend, do you really think that 40 people, who did not even know each other, and who lived at different times in history, could invent or orchestrate the same story, with the same message, for more than 1600 years apart?
In my opinion ... Sincerely That Is Not Neither Possible, Not Credible!
However, today, the Bible is regarded by Christians as the word of God; while for the atheists, it is the greatest lie ever invented; but the fact is that both agree that the bible has occupied, occupied and will continue occupying a place of great importance in the life of the human being.
If you thought that here the story ended, here I leave a series of Very Interesting Data:
• It is the book that has most united humanity, and the one that has divided it most.
• The Bible is the Most Beloved Book, and the Most Hated Book in the world.
• It is the book by which many have found life, while another has found death.
• It is the most destroyed book, and the most printed in all history.
• It is the book found in both the poorest ranches, as well as in the best palaces.
• It is a book with advice from a forgotten yesterday, but which are more current, than the newspaper of tomorrow.
• It is the most sought after book for those people who have a need.
• It is the only book, where all the predictions that were made of the future, have been fulfilled to the letter, and some others, are still to be fulfilled.
• There is definitely no other equal book.
After knowing this, it is in you, believing or not believing what the Bible says; and to believe or not, is part of your free will; because no one will ever be able to convince you otherwise, if in your heart there is not a great desire to seek the creator.
If you still do not believe that the Bible is the word of God, it will not do anything to expose you to biblical verses to defend it. However I would recommend watching the movie: God Is Not Dead.
Blessings…

The writers of the Bible wrote as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit:
(Jude 1:3 NIV) Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.
(2 Peter 1:21 NIV) For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
The New Testament was written almost exclusively by eyewitnesses and those who talked to eyewitnesses. The only possible exception is Hebrews. Nobody knows for sure who wrote it.
(Luke 1:1-4 NIV) Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, {2} just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. {3} Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, {4} so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
(2 Peter 1:16 NIV) We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Completely in agreement with you ... They were men inspired by the Holy Spirit. In other words God is the Main Author ... Excellent Biblical quotations ... Thank you ...
