People have been applying Revelation to contemporary events for nearly 2000 years; Revelation makes no mention of the events of 9/11.
When have there not been wars in Palestine?
When have there not been meteorites (falling stars)?
Of prostitutes: Read the story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis
666: ditto about the 2000 years.
In the 1900s, people were calling the Revised Standard Version a false Bible.
None of the examples prove anything. I am not even sure I know what you mean by proving the Bible true. The Bible is an ancient book, or rather a composite of several--how many depends on--ancient documents. Each of the candidate documents reflects an ancient world view. The relevance of these ancient documents to life today is subject to a wide ranging debate.
You will hear that prophesy is one of the Bible's strong points. I think this is one of the weakest arguments for the Bible's continuing relevance.

8. Archeology confirms the Bible.
9. The Bible has been translated into hundreds of languages, but it has never changed its meaning or words to suit the times.

The pictures and writing on this temple wall at Karnak, Egypt. They tell of the victory, almost 3,000 years ago, of Pharaoh Shishak over the kingdom of Judah during the rule of Solomon’s son Rehoboam. The Bible tells about the same event at 1 Kings 14:25, 26.
About seven hundred years in advance God inspired his prophet to foretell that it would take place in Bethlehem. (Mic. 5:2)
Also concerning Jesus' death the inspired Psalms it was foretold that not one of his bones would be broken, and that those present would cast lots for his clothing. (Ps. 34:20; 22:18) and they weren't. Since the day following the execution was a holy one to the Jews and bodies were not to be left on the torture stake overnight, the Roman soldiers proceeded to break the legs of the men to hasten their death. But since Jesus had just died, his were left unbroken. (John 19:31-36) As for Jesus’ inner garment, it was woven with no seam, so the soldiers decided to determine by lot whose it would be, rather than to tear it up and divide it. How miraculously these prophecies were fulfilled!—John 19:23, 24.
Matthew 24:14: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.”(Done worldwide by more than 6 milllion Jehovah's Witnesses)
Would the nations rejoice in hearing this “good news”? On the contrary, Jesus Christ said: “People will deliver you Kingdom witnesses up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations.”-Matt. 24:9. (Hundreds of JWs are persecuted regularly)
Yes there are things that prove that the bible is true and there will be more in the future.

Well everything that is prophecy has come true 100% if you are really searching the truth. That's enough evidence for me.
But if you need more there is the bible code that is a secret code in the bible that couldn't be unlocked until these last days when the computer was invented. It is a scientifically proven fact.
Also....the bible says hell is in the center of the earth, and science also proves that there is a ball of fire in the center of the earth. The volcanoes are hell's nostrils.

Most theologists already accept most of revelations to be related to what was going on in the middle east at the time it was written. Howerver, because history is doomed to repeat itself if we don't learn it, I'm sure many of those things have come to pass several times over.

Nothing proves the Goat herders' Guide to the Galaxy is true but what is written in the bible saying it's true.
It's called circular logic.
Those incidents you refer to are not Proofs - they're questionable interpretations that not all god-botherers agree with.
When ALL Xians agree with something it may have a chance of being true but only if you believe in Invisible Sky Critters in the first place.
I don't.
To me it's a load of old rubbish and I'll refer to it as a load of old rubbish till it's proved to be true AND applicable to the 21st Century.
It'll never happen - I'm safe.

You can read events in to the bible you can read events into Nostradamus. it does not validate them.
the bible was not written contemporaneously(at the time) And has been re-translated and reinterpret so many time.
it is not the word of god.
but of what man thought the word of god should be..
the only Gospel written at the time was Thomas(Dead Sea Scrolls) and that is deemed heretic by the RC church.

The Bible stated the earth was round and suspended in mid air, Jesus was foretold,there are hundreds of things that prove it, and archeology proves this daily.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points
