You must be confused and thinking the God whispering to write down things....which is Book of Mormon
You must be confused. With the exception of the gospels, which are supposed to be eyewitness accounts of events in the life of Jesus (even though the four accounts vary radically from one another), the entire Bible is held by Christians of all sects to have been spoken directly by God to the scribes who merely wrote down what they heard.
As a Christian who has studied the Bible and it’s history, this is not accurate. It is believed to be divinely inspired, but not “whispered” by God and written down word for word. The Old Testament was most likely told orally for generations before it was even written down. God didn’t speak it to the scribes.
Again, the belief is that the men who wrote the words were divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. That doesn’t mean the words are not the words of God, or more importantly the Word of God, it just didn’t have to be a whisper…. There is also a difference in the use of the word “word” in most ancient languages. On one hand it means what you and I think of as a word uttered—in Ancient Greek this is “Rhema”. On the other hand it means the “logic of” or the “reasoned discourse of”—in Ancient Greek this is “Logos”. The Bible doesn’t use these interchangeably. The Bible is the “logos” of God, not necessarily the “rhema”. The words are from men, but they express a divinely inspired “logos”. Reading the Bible in English causes so much confusion because translations are imperfect.
You need to go read The Ultimate Proof of Creation by Jason Lisle.
What you are doing is the equivalent of Hamlet shaking his fist at Shakespeare. You are holding the Biblical God to YOUR standard (communication from God shouldn't have been communicated to fallible men) and attempting to limit God's power in your own mind only (as though the Creator of everything would be helpless to influence or control His own messaging to humanity).
There are so many logical holes in your position on the subject, you may want to hone your debate skills a little more. Thus, check out the book I mentioned.

Then it isn't the holy word of God. It's the word of the writers. Exactly as I've been saying since I was a child.
