How do you know that God inspired the bible?

Question

If you believe some prophecies or something were fulfilled then state which ones. No vague ones or obvious predictions a fortune teller could prophesize. Also, there are some things that may have been true in the bible, such as locations, wars and such, but a few truths don’t ‘make an entire book true. Tell me logically why you believe it is the word of God when there are so many contradicting views in it.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, etc.
Then you are told to turn the other cheek if someone hurts you.

Which one is it? Since when does God change his mind so much? Is he like a woman in a clothing store? Wouldn't you expect more from an 'inspired' bible?

Also, do you speak any other language other than English? Did you translate the oldest bibles ever found? How do you know that the people before them didn't translate it properly? Why do you blindly believe that the bible has to be right? Did you ever think about it really? Actually sit down and think for yourse

Answer 1

I have faith.

I read it.

I follow its instruction faithfully.

It WORKS. God speaks back.

Scientific (non-christian, by the way) research has claimed the validity of the bible as 98.5% correct to present-day translation (the only errors are spelling and changing in manuscript use, and they do not change the meaning)

I speak Spanish and some German.

Answer 2

Hmm, just want to add that there is a Bible in Prague, a capital in Europe that was written by a man of the Catholic church. The special with this Bible is that the man who wrote this Bible did it after he had a nightvision in which Lucifer himself requested him to write this Bible. Perhaps it is the same with the real Bible. Someone for a very long time ago got a vision about something and began to retell it for people that then, in the end, become published in the Bible. In spite of what the Bible is I must confess that I admire a book for being so well known for so many years.

Answer 3

An eye for an eye was the old testiment which back then people followed the law better otherwise they would be injured in one way or another but as time went on people in higher society would be able to do things w/o consequence and Jesus told us to turn the other cheek to prevent breaking of one of the commandments. And the other answer is that the priest were the only one who could recopy the scripture and they had to be exactly down to the last hair on the letters which was about 10000BC or so.

Answer 4

PROPHECY IS BASED ON WORLD HISTORY

O.T. 1110 years, about 40 to write the 39 books, done 443 before Christ in Rome Empire #6.
Abraham at 427, Moses at 430, was 857 after the flood, in Roman Empire #1.
Isaiah was in Assyria Empire #2, he died 714 BC
Daniel was in Babylon Empire #3, Judah kings end 606 BC [ THERE WILL BE NO KING UNTIL KING JESUS AT HIS SECOND COMING ].
Ezra was in time of Cyrus who was in Empire #4.
Greece was Empire #5.
Jesus was in Rome Empire #6.
Rev.17:1-14'
#1 to # 5 have fallen, #6 Rome is, John on Patmos to write Revelations, #7 ends with Word of truth over 300 years old and Michael with holy angel cast Satan and unholy angels as enemies down to footstool earth, ends #7, SATAN HAS A SHORT TIME IN THE END TIME THAT IS THE 8th.

Eph.2:7; 3:21; The world with Jesus is without end. John 3:16; 2Pet.3:13; All made new
Rev.21:1-5 [ All made new ], 8 [ the second death ]; 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; The first and heavenly for the new heavens, will resurrect the earthly for the new earth.
Rev.20:1-6,12,13 No Satan 1000 years.
The heavenly first resurrected for the new heaven is with Jesus to resurrect the earthly for the new earth. Rev.20:7-10; The final cleansing at end of 1000 years. All Perfect for kingdom and paradise of God. Rev.2:7;

Answer 5

After much debate with myself, I have decided to answer this question. The only thing to which you are baffled is really the Holy Spirit. Why? Because until and unless you take a step of faith and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you, you can read the Bible until you're blue in the face and it will only appear as more and more falsehoods. Where you are in your understanding/accepting of the Bible is where you have no other choice but to be until you drop logic/proof searching and try faith. God is not afraid to prove himself to you, but only when/if you stand on faith. So now you have a choice, faith or a lifetime of IF questions.

Answer 6

Many individuals over different periods have written sections of the Bible. All corroborate each other. Therefore for so many to be so perfect, only God could be the author through man's hand. Any contradictions are through various peoples reading and interpretetation and not of the content.

Answer 7

We don't, and we never will know if God inspired the bible, because it is simply written hear-say, the only true fact that the bible has to offer is it gave religious clerics a road map to wealth power and control, and that is the only actual bible fact, and the evidence of that is vary clear in our churches contents all over the world today.

Answer 8

Moses did some miracles when He delivered the Word.

Contradictions are explainable when you know the Bible.

There are over 5000 copies from the original manuscripts, they all tell the same story.

When you ask Holy Spirit in your heart to guide you, you will understand everything differently. : )

Answer 9

for one thing u need to study the bible to get a grasp of it ... an eye for an eye was the old jewish law ... it applied to jews and jews only ... the old law mirrored the new testament of Jesus Christ which brought in the true kingdom of God spiritually whereby alll men have access to the new covenant between God and man ....not the old covenant of jewish law ... Jesus spelled it out ...thats the right way, turn the other cheek ... contradictions arise from lack of understanding and education ...

Answer 10

We know god inspired the bible because the bible says that god inspired it. You and your silly questions. Its all right there in black and white. No go back to eating your shrimp cocktail, silly atheist, I'll see you in hell. No really, I will. I've already got my tickets. I'm in the Mussolini section right next to Pol Pot.
