Is the Bible the word of God?

It does look like I should believe, and if pressed for an opinion, I would have to say the Bible is complete and perfect.
Perfect in that it is just the way God wants it to be for me.
Who am I to say I need or deserve more word , less ambiguity, greater historical, scientific, or more moral instructions.
God must be trusted to have seen to it that his word has come down to me in just the right words and completeness to allow me no wiggle room to claim ignorance of his will for me.
Does everyone in the world have differing needs?
Maybe so, but God being infinitely just and loving, I have faith, has met each individual with exactly the proper word - proper in that each is left with the same equal opportunity to either accept or reject God's word.
