You can't. Proving scripture requires faith, faith comes from the God who wrote the scripture. In short, you must 1st believe in the God of the bible before it will prove to be true.

All historic writings are judged based on the comparable standards. How became into the writings of greek philosophers examined? Attila the Hun? etc. all people objectively utilizing those comparable standards would be confident, that's basically logical. a million- any exterior materials for corroboration? The Bible has Jewish historic writings from the 1st century. 2- The form of copies which would be while in comparison with one yet another to make certain how the textual content textile dissimilar. The bible has better than the different historical rfile, greater via many magnitudes of components. 3- The term between the activities and the writings. maximum historical information have been written 1000's or perhaps 1000's of years after the activities. The Bible became into written many years after, 30-60 years, a minimum of the copies we've got here upon so some distance. in my opinion, the terrific evidence is hearsay. Take the coaching of the Bible, notice them to your life and see what happens. My adventure is that it has continuously been spot on suited. no longer available with an universal self help e book.

"The books of the Word are all those which have the internal sense; but those books which have not the internal sense, are not the Word. The books of the Word, in the Old Testament, are the five Books of Moses, the Book of Joshua, the Book of Judges, the two Books of Samuel, the two Books of Kings, the Psalms of David, the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi: and in the New Testament, the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and the Apocalypse. The rest have not the internal sense" (Arcana Coelestia n. 10325 or Heavenly Doctrine n. 266).
FAQ: Why different testaments and books in the Word?
"As regards the Word particularly, it has existed in every age, though not the Word we possess at the present day. Another Word existed in the Most Ancient Church before the Flood, and yet another Word in the Ancient Church after the Flood. Then came the Word written through Moses and the Prophets in the Jewish Church, and finally the Word written through the Evangelists in the new Church. The reason why the Word has existed in every age is that by means of the Word there is a communication between heaven and earth, and also that the Word deals with goodness and truth, by which a person is enabled to live in eternal happiness. In the internal sense therefore the Lord alone is the subject, for all goodness and truth are derived from Him" (Arcana Coelestia n. 2895).

Apparently people have a problem with logic and a lot of people have that problem.
Oh I wish Logic would be a necessary part of school and everyone had to take it.
You ask people to prove that The Bible is authentic...and they quote from the Bible.

I don't know if it proves it for you, but the provable historical events of the bible are accurate.
I'm not really looking to prove its authenticity to you though. At the end of the day, each on of us is going to believe what we want to. I don't think that Yahoo Answers is going to change that.

Because the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
"For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4 v 12.
It is better to trust the Lord than to put confidence in man. Psalm 118 v 8
If you are a Christian then you can test it and prove it.
"The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times, Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever".
Psalm 12 v 6-7
"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God shall stand forever. Isaiah 40 v 8

We can check first for the "ring of truth" (do the action and characters and their behaviors match what we know of human nature and the human experience).
And we can then check specific statements from the Bible against what we know of reality.
To quote the Bible is not invalid (it is just like quoting from any other book, when we are checking the validity of that book).
Cordially,
John

The Bible says it's authentic. History and Archeology has proven it also. What we see happening today was prophecied in the Blble. Don't need more than that do ya?

The authenticity of the Bible has been verified by archaeologists and historians as being accurate as to their fields.If it is accurate to these things it would likely be accurate to the rest of its statements.This is the same bases that scientific theories are held to.
