Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
What solid reasons do you have for believing that God "inspired" the Bible. (Please also include a definition of what you mean by inspired.)

Sometimes?

Jesus in me
I believe that depends on what works for the person.

I believe the rock is truth and sand is ignorance. Logic is often false and facts can be misleading but the truth will always come out in the end.

How does being abused, oppressed, and victimized "work" for anyone?
Muffled
Jesus in me
I believe a quote by Mark Twain reveals a lot. In response to a question of why he read the Bible he said: "I am looking for loopholes."
Muffled
Jesus in me
I believe it works for me by revealing things I shouldn't do.

Yet god permitted others to do those things.
God (as depicted in the bible) permitted the heinous abuse and subjugation of innocent victims, yet arbitrarily prohibited love between consenting adults of the same sex.
What a disgusting little sky goblin.

Read the books that others would burn.
He ain't the only one.
Why not ?

The Bible itself shows that there is more than two brain cells involved.
Jesus based his teachings on the old Hebrew Scriptures by using logical reasoning on them.
The Bible tells us how God and Jesus will accomplish Peace on Earth - Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15
Jesus' followers have the privilege to tell others as Jesus instructed at Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8.
And to live a life style of loving others as Jesus taught at John 13:34-35 to love others as he did. Love them to death if necessary.
So, keep Awake! because once the powers in charge are saying, " Peace and Security....." that rosy saying can lead people down that Primrose Path of a false security. - 1st Thess. 5:2-3

The future holds endless possibilities - Jeremiah 29:11
Happiness - No more sickness and death - 1st Cor. 15:24-26; Isaiah 25:8
Hope - Hold on Pain Ends - Isaiah chapter 35
Health - No one will say, " I am sick....: - Isaiah 33:24
Healing - for earth's nations - Rev. 22:2
Heaven is above us but Paradise is coming here on Earth - ( aka return of Eden )
All this will start at Jesus' coming Glory Time - Matthew 25:31-34,37
We can't save (deliver / rescue) oneself or another from sin and death .
Just as we can't resurrect oneself or another, so we need someone who can do that for us - Jesus can and will - Rev. 1:18
Luke 21:32; Mark 13:30; Matthew 24:34 only had an initial or minor fulfullment in the 1st Century ( year 70 when unfaithful Jerusalem was destroyed )
The MAJOR fullfillment is for our day our time frame - Rev. 1:10
Jesus brings ' sword-like executional words from his mouth ' as the weapon of choice - Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15
They did Not have to hear God's voice because God used His holy spirit - Psalm 104:30 - to convey His message.
The Bible is chock full of corresponding cross-reference verses and passages showing the internal harmony among the many Bible writers.
Jesus used the old Hebrew Scriptures as the basis for his teachings.
Jesus often quoted or referred to the OT by his logical reasoning on them.
