From where did we get the Bible?

Respectfully, not only are the majority of (secular) scholars wrong, they are contradicting the text, which says itself that inspired people wrote inerrant truth.
So the Bible can be relied on because it says it can be. If I say I can be relied does that mean I can be?

It seems to have become a "Don't ask, Don't tell" lottery
I have received all types of battery including Lithium thro the post. from various suppliers.
However I have not had cause to send any.

I have no Idea how they could tell the sort of battery that was enclosed except by looking at it.
One lithium battery came from Hong Kong by air, and it was marked as that on the customs slip.

Did a Big Hand reach down and hand someone the first Bible? Where did it come from, do you think?
I believe men were used by God to write down various portions of the Bible. Some 40 men were used and the writing proceeded over a 1,500 year period. Many of these writers acknowledged God's direction of what they wrote down. Jehovah God inspired these men to write down God's thoughts, not their own. Thus, IMO, "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16)

The Torah was handed to Moses on Mount Sinai. Verbally. The words were written on the scrolls through God.

Any thoughts about the ' Book of Generations ' mentioned at Genesis 5:1 ?
Apparently Noah took it with him on the Ark. Moses could have compiled some of Genesis from those pre-flood writings.
