I would ask some questions.
1. Who was Cain's wife?
2. Why was it stated that man was made in "our" image instead of "my" image? What other gods were present during our making?
3. Did Noah take two of each creature or seven of each clean creature and two of each unclean?
4. Who were the giants that walked the earth in Adam and Eve's time?
5. If Adam and Eve begot the whole human race, why have we not inbred into extinction?
6. Why did God send a wild bear to kill the children who make fun of the prophet Elijah because Elijah was bald?
7. What's the deal with Lilith?
These are just some of the questions I would ask.

There are now more than 60 versions of the Bible(Different versions not translations The different versions of the Bible are not merely different translations, but are actually versions i.e. they add and remove things from other versions)
These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect
The Bible is a collection of writings by many different authors. The Qur'an is a dictation. The speaker in the Qur'an - in the first person - is God talking directly to man. In the Bible you have many men writing about God and you have in some places the word of God speaking to men and still in other places you have some men simply writing about history.
The previous scriptures were meant for a limited period (and a specific people) that ended with the revelation of what abrogated them and exposed what had taken place in them of distortion and change. That is why they were not protected from corruption

Too many contradictions in it for that to be a question to take seriously. For just 1, how did Judas die? 2 different stories, 1 at the beginning of Acts, 1 at the end of Matthew, and the kludge your preacher told you to reconcile them ISN'T in the Bible. Same 2 stories, what happened to the 30 pieces of silver? Did Judas use them to buy the field of blood, or did the Sanhedrin? They didn't put both names on the deed, now did they?

I would take the "revised" versions of the bible, and have a meeting with the editors. I would also like Jesus to be there, to give his opinion. I would also ask God to sit in and comment.
I would ask why they did not make a more believable case for their side, and allowed other religions to be considered. If they knew humans are questioning their beliefs, due to a lack of evidence, why didn't they make all clear?
Why let controversy reign, and so many people die? I would want justification...

If i found out it was true, i would check the person background of which told me it was true. If he has a history of lying, drinking, and imaging things, i wont believe it.
But if its a person i can believe in, and there is proof i can see and/or note, then i will...learn. I wont jump into belief, but i will learn.
And i can tell you one thing. I wil not become a christian. Like i said last time, Im not fond of that religion. I will go any where else but that.

Even if it was revealed as true, it could still have no effect on your life. It's better to believe in something that you haven't seen, or heard, than to believe in something that you know. Even the demons believe in God, and shutter. I believe deep down inside we all know that God and the Bible is real. Faith is a virtue. God wants us to have faith.

This is gonna be a huge revolution in the life of someone who's
dependent on Him too much in any ways. But for someone like
me, who believes life is always made by myself more than Him,
nothing would happen in my life, i guess.
I'd be positive(or happy) as usual,
I'd do my best in what i'm doing as usual,
I'd be disappointed at what i used to be disappointed,
....
I'd jz keep going as I'm doing and I'll.
I'm the one who is the most responsible about how my life
is going to turn out -_ã

I would be stunned at the sheer lack of imagination of that revelation, when you consider the vastness of our universe. Even as a hypothetical, the question is absurd. Guess I can forget about my 10 points, eh?

It is all true already and life goes on. There are parables, which may not have happened, but all the situations in the parables parallel real life situations.

The Bible is all true. It is the infallible word of God.
