Where in the bible, if anywhere, Does the Bible say it is the Word of God?

Question

The Bible, The Koran, The Book of Mormon, and other books are supposedly the word of God. Many other works are supposedly inspired by God, gods, god-like aliens from the Pleiades, etc. Why should I accept your favorite, and not one of the others?

It never does - it's the word of man, making up a fairy tale.

Answer 3

I agree with Lasermouse. The Bible was written hundreds to THOUSANDS of years after Christ walked the earth. These stories were passed down by word of mouth first. Man initally wrote the Bible, so we dont know how much of it is true.

I am Christian, although fundy's wouldnt say that because of their rules and regulations.

but if you think about it, the Bible has some great lessons in it. I see nothing wrong with going by it. However you have to remember that there is no way a human could have wrote it without putting their own belief spin on it.

Answer 4

This is a quote out of the Book of Mormon in Moroni chapter 10.

3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

We believe the Bible and the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. We can find out for ourselves if anything is true by following this guideline. Read, study, pray, have faith, and listen. God will let you know through the Holy Ghost if it is true.

In Galatians ch. 5 we learn how the Holy Ghost, or the Spirit, communicates with us.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Answer 5

Well, the logical mind would seek the one that is most scientifically and historically accurate. To date, I've found the bible to be the most convincing on this front.

Even if the bible declares itself the "Word of God" it would be circular reasoning. The message of the bible speaks for itself and does so accurately.

If people had read their bibles they's have known the earth was round 2000+ years ago.

Answer 6

1 Corinthians 14:36 What? Was it from YOU that the word of God came forth, or was it only as far as YOU that it reached?
37 If anyone thinks he is a prophet or gifted with the spirit, let him acknowledge the things I am writing to YOU, because they are the Lord’s commandment. 38 But if anyone is ignorant, he continues ignorant.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting

You can accept anything you want to; but I would be careful of which one you choose. Everyone has a choice; that's why God makes you to choose. There is a right way and there is a wrong way. I hope you choose the right way; the Bible.

Answer 9

It is physically for humanity to perfectly copy down the Word of God. ALL religious books are flawed, simply because they were written by man. NO religious book is perfect.
