The Bible cannot be "God's Word" due to this:

Note: This is my second attempt to have this debate. The person who accepted the debate before had no intentions of debating the issue at all. Please do not bother to accept if you do not understand the premise and agree to debate based on this premise: This debate is not about the existence of a higher being or what religion is true. It is only a debate on whether or not the Bible is the word of God. I contend that it is not so I am pro for it "not being the word of God" and I am going to focus on one subject about it. I would like to say that the Bible has so many problems in it and the God that is represented in it is so evil, you would really not want him as your next door neighbor, much less the object of your eternal affection but will focus on one issue. 1. The Old Testament (OT) God gave laws to mankind that were a code of morality but he himself broke them as in murdering scores of innocent people and punishing children for the sins of their fathers while saying he would not do that and commanding man not to do that. After showing proof of this and debating with other Christians who admitted it was true, the consensus of Christians that I have spoken with was that God did not have to keep them because he is God. He can do what he wants and nothing he could possibly do is wrong. The God of the Bible calls himself a perfect, righteous and holy God and claims to be without sin. This was the whole key to him supposedly becoming a man in Jesus in order to die for mankind's sins. However, the Christians argue that God can do "whatever he wants" like lying or killing as in several cases: Ezekiel 14:9 And if a prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet. Jeremiah 20:7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived. or more seriously; God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21) For starters, the Bible states very specifically what a sin is: "sin is transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). Now, keep that in mind while law is defined. The law of God is simply the rights and wrongs that God gave to the people. It is not just the 10 commandments but all the laws of right and wrong in the Bible, over 600 of them. Since it has been established that sin is the breaking of any of these laws, then lying and killing innocent people is definitely breaking a couple of those laws. All one has to do is read the OT and see that God killed numerous innocent people, children, babies and babies inside of mother's not yet born in addition to the lies and other sins. This makes God a sinner by his own definition of sin (if he inspired the Bible). How can a sinning God become a man to die for you when he was not without sin himself? I will not even touch on the sins Jesus committed for the sake of space. To sum up: 1. Sin is breaking the law. 2. God's law are the rules of right and wrong. 3. Lying and killing innocent people are forbidden in God's law of right and wrong. 4. God lied to and killed innocent people beyond doubt. 5. This makes God a sinner and unable to die for your sins and takes precedence over the idea that God can do what he wants because he is God. 6. Since 1-5 are true, the simplest conclusion is that the Bible is not the word of God.
