Over the centuries, it's likely been modified by human hands, making it more of a human product than divine.
The New Testament, for example, is made up of writings from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—human beings who told their own versions of events. The Old Testament also had multiple authors, each writing from their own perspective.
It's not as if these authors sat in a room with God, who dictated word-for-word what to write. These are stories filtered through human experience and interpretation.
On top of that, we have to consider the role of publishers and distributors in spreading religious texts. Just as with any book, there are people involved in getting it into the hands of the public.
With so many religious leaders potentially tied to groups like the "Deep State," can we really believe that these texts haven't been altered at some point in history to serve certain agendas?
before we read the Bible we should pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us as we go.
this is why we need Holy Spirit filled churches and leaders because we need to be taught what God is telling us in His Word. not all are called to be teachers or preachers. we need guidance.
I think you need to do some better research. If you have any interest in making sure you’re right about what IS a Salvation issue, I would suggest Chuck Missler’s “Through the Bible in 24 Hours”
How is it possible for you to believe the 10 Commandments are God Breathed and the rest of His Word to be false?
Have you ever read the Bible in its entirety? It’s pretty far fetched to believe that a volume containing 66 books, written over ~2000 years, by ~40 “authors”, with a 400 year period of silence between the Old and New Testaments has thousands of prophecies in the Old Testament that were fulfilled EXACTLY in the New Testament, and the New Testament referring back to the Old Testament thousands of times is not Divinely Inspired by God Himself.
The Bible is accurate and God Breathed.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
New International Version
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Interestingly, you mentioned the Bible being a collection of history and moral lessons. So have you heeded those lessons? If not, why not? If such body of work is deemed to of little value then what is the relative value of your opinion?
His word is forever. I do believe you're somewhat right. They don't hijack the Bible they mock it.

i believe the writers you are talking about were inspired to write as the Holy Spirit directed them.
💯
Yes.. but how we understand them is subjective to our own opinions.
God does not speak in subjective terms.
before we read the Bible we should pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us as we go.

I believe the scriptures are just stories that we are suppose to get the moral value from.
Lessons in history they are.
I do not believe God sat in a room with select people and said
"Ok guys... now write this down EXACTLY as I tell you... it's my word"
