It can't unless you chose to believe in fables. According to even Hebrew history the stories in the OT were just that, they were designed to be object lessons.
Almost all of the NT was written by people who had never even met Jesus...so you be the judge.

That many people can't get it wrong, and the bible is actually a translation of the holy scriptures that the Catholics possess. Or should I say the Vatican, or Holy See?
Martin Luther Translated it to German from Latin, Tynsdale translated it to English, and
then King James I. The most accurate translation would be the King James Version. The papacy did not want the scriptures translated at all for the common man. They wanted to be able to keep what they wanted, and change what they wanted, and they still did anyway. The only way for the Catholics to read the real truth, is if someone does another translation of the actual scriptures in Latin. The Catholic version was translated to English with some scriptures taken out or changed. Look up Martin Luther and William Tynsdale, as well as King James I, who translated 83% of Tynsdale's writings from the Tynsdale bible.

In the old days. You know, 2000 years or more ago. There were Scribes. Today we have xerox machines. The Scribes, copied papers time and time again, depending on how many copies were needed. Some of the old philosophers if Greece, etc. had only a several hundreds copies of their text made, with 5% or so of error. That's a lot of error's. The Bible has thousands of copies with about only 1/2 of 1 percent. Of things that were considered to be unimportant . I think that is a good enough track record for me. And the copies we have today fall right in line with the old text. It's all good. And remember these are only hand written copies not the original.

One thing you have to understand is that Man did not write the bible, God did. God simply used man to write for him. God would not have millions of copies published about him, and yet make them not entirely the truth.
To make it even more truthful about the content inside the bible, There has been reserch basied on findings, where and how, that all point toward the same God. The conclusion of all these studies put together, makes the bible have about a 1 E 13 over 1 chance that the bible is not correct. That's 10000000000000/1. You would find it more likely that I tornado sweeps through a junkyard and forms an airplane.
Do some reserch yourself. The information can be found all around, and it's absolutely incredible how much reserch has proben the Bible, God, and Creationalsm to be entire accurate, far more than evolution could hope to reach.

Just how many versions does the bible has? How can the King James version to be true? Can't be... it's in English. Jesus did not stop by England. The original copy shd be written in Hebrew but does it still exist now?
The Christian nowadays will never know the exact truth of the bible. It has been "patched" a thousand times just to make it looks good.

The bible is not considered completely true because there are alot of mistakes and some verses contradict itself. If it was from God it wouldn't contradict itself but because human been make mistakes and they forget what they say,so it shows that some of the bible is the word of man not of God. for example in Acts 9:7 "And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, HEARING A VOICE, but seeing no man."
But in Acts 22:9 "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they HEARD NOT the voice of him that spake to me" The question is did they hear or not the voice? God wouldn't make a mistake like this , simply Paul lied about the story and after time he forgot his lie. that's why his story contradict itself. And that's one of the reasons which makes me happy that I'm Muslim.

Because it's been tested and tested and tested,.... and tested some more....and has stood the test of time and man, like no other document in the history of mankind. It is as solid a group of writing as there has ever been or ever will be. Think of all the millions upon millions of people that have spent their life trying to debunk the Word as "myths or lies." Billions of people hate the Holy Bible and hate God, that is an awful lot of motivation for trying everything they can to put it to shame and call out the believers. Oh, how sweet that would be for them and their god. Alas, they have found nothing...zip...zero. The bible is the inerrant Word of the Almighty God and no other.

It isn't and has never pretended to be. It is the message that is true i.e. God's love for His people is eternal.
There are thousands of mss. bits, not all agree, none of them come the time of composition, and most of which were done under the poorest of quality control conditions. The book and little letters hold the truth much like the cake pan holds the brownies.

Even the Pope, Cardinals, Preists, Missionaries and all heads in the christian hierarchy know that the Bible was written by unknown authors.
What we see in the Bible is not the Gospel of John....its The Gosple ACCORDING to John. There is a HUGE difference. I also find it amazing that no Gospel of Jesus was ever recorded. A man born of a miraculous birth, who supposedly spoke in at the age of 1 like a reuglar person, who made miracles with God's permission.....yet we find NO, NONE, ZILCH, NOTHING, NO Gospel of Jesus. Not even a Gospel According To Jesus, or even Gospel of Some Dude Who Had A Dream About Jesus.
The Church used to store all bibles in their church. People had to pay to read the Bible. But! Who would read to them? The head of that church would obviously read it to them, pesents do not know how to read....only those with educations. They used the pesents as a source to sell religion...Does this sounds right? Of cource not. It is proven FACT, a historic FACT, not theory that this took place, but Chrisitans will always deny or use strawman logic to change your original stance.
Moreoever, there ONE gospel that exsists of a person who lived in the time of Jesus and is recorded....Gospel of Barnebus (sp). Christians deny its existance and wish everyone forgot about it. It goes against almost EVERYTHING the bible says and is 95% or so compliance with the Quran.
Hmmm....ponder on.

the inspiration of the Holy spirit is what makes the Bible hold together
The great discovery is that the Bible is a message system: it's not simply 66 books penned by 40 authors over thousands of years, the Bible is an integrated whole which bears evidence of supernatural engineering in every detail!
