Dr. W. Graham Scroggie of Moody Bible Institute (Chicago), one of the most prestigious Evangelical Mission in the world, answering the question: "Yes, the Bible is human, though some, out of zeal which is not according to knowledge, have denied this. Those books have passed through the minds of men, are written in the language of men, were penned by the hands of men, and bear in their style the characteristics of men."
Another erudite Christian scholar, Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, says in his book, "The Call of the Minaret":
"Not so the New Testament . . . There is condensation and editing; there is choice, reproduction and witness. The Gospels have come through the mind of the Church behind the authors. They represent experience and history."
If words have any meaning, do I need to add another word of comment to prove my case? No! But the professional propagandists, after letting the cat out of the bag, still have the face to try to make their readers believe that they have proved beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Bible is the "irrefragable Word of God."
Their semantic gymnastics — equivocating, and playing with words is amazing!
Both these Christian scholars confirm in the clearest language humanly possible that the Bible is the handiwork of man, all the while pretending that the are proving to the contrary. An old Arab saying goes: "If such are the priests, God bless the congregation!”
"... seeing they see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." (Matthew 13:13)
Al-Qur'an, the Holy Book of God, also condemns this mulish mentality:
DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND. THEY WILL RETURN TO THE PATH.
