God did not provide the Torah as such. Moses had to write it down. He did not provide any of the rest of the OT and none of the New.

My point is that most of the word is written by men.

Then do you consider it the word of God? His direct, divine, Spirit inspired, God breathed special revelation of Himself to us?

Or does the fact that He used human instruments to write it down invalidate it's very nature?

Wrong. G-d Himself wrote the Torah--according to a mystical tradition, 974 generations before the Creation--and then dictated it to Moses letter for letter. Moses was a secretary, nothing more. The Torah is of entirely Divine origin. Shows what you know.

He did not provide any of the rest of the OT and none of the New.

This is true. The Na"KH and the "new testament" depend on their canonizing authorities for their authenticity.

All this goes to show that the Torah is the Supreme Revelation which judges all others, and is not a mere temporary, preparatory revelation as most people think.
