... claiming that God inspired it, what kind of proof would you need in order to believe it?

There'd be no asking for proof. The nutbag would be laughed at. If the person decided to push it, they'd be locked up.

It would have no more validity than the current (old) one does. If I told the IRS that my tax return was inspired by God, do you think they would believe me or audit me?
The bible is full of errors and imposibilities, and therefore cannot be the word of a perfect being, simple as that.

For christians, it seems the only proof they need is if the book was written before their birth.
The bible itself has had all kinds of crap added to it since its first publication. The rapture was added in the 1800's, yet christians think it is part of ancient biblical history.
In the end a christian will believe it if it makes them feel better, regardless of its authenticity. Christian belief is based on fantasy and wishful thinking. If it makes you happy believe it.

Ah, gee, let's see...
Mohammad did that. Joseph Smith did that. Some people would believe them, but others would be more skeptical.
As don stated, if it contradicted the Christian Bible, I wouldn't believe it.

It happened already with Harry Potter.

It would have to "line up" exactly with The Bible that we now have.

God would have to tell me it was of His Truth.
