On the Bible's veracity, where's the evidence or proof for the validation, you know, to make it proven?

Question

How many different versions of the bible is there, anyways???

How can something be "holy", if it's not be proven, with evidence?

Answer 1

The Bible is a collection of writings by many writers from many areas over many years. What we call the Bible today is a selection form many thousands of stories, histories, poems, laws, gospels, predictions and opinions that have been culled out by various people (mostly early Church Fathers), to be set aside and greatly honored in the religions of Christianity and Judaism. There are many thousands more stories, gospels, etc., that didn't make it into the official book. These other writings are fascinating and don't always agree with what made it into the Bible.

The question of "holiness" however, has little to do with proving or disproving, Science can and does tell us what is true (and verifiable) all the time, but seldom is there much holiness attached to these truths.

Holiness has to do with the "significance" that people attach to a person, writing, idea, etc. And people for many years have attached a lot of significance to what is in the Bible.

Answer 2

Do you know what the word "holy" means? I don't think so. It means "set apart." Maybe you want to grab a dictionary and then redo your question?

You state categorically that the Bible is not proven, with evidence. Have you read it? There are dozens of places to find lists of the prophecy that has been fulfilled (which makes it true), the archaeology that supports it (which makes it true), not to mention simply the consistency of the message, written over a 1,500 year period, in 5 countries, by 40 authors. That means it is either true or a conspiracy of enormous proportions, propagated over thousands of years, among people who never heard of each other, and by people who had nothing to gain, but everything to lose by doing so.

Answer 3

The Word of God becomes transparent when our spiritual eyes have been awakened with the infilling of the Holy Spirit. You will be granted the revelations on the Bible's authenticity and authorship when you surrender and repent of your sins to Jesus, it is then He will give you the give of the Holy Spirit.

May God keep His hand upon your heart, so that you may be able to settle this question. Blessings always!

Answer 4

The self-authenticating God-breathed Word, the Holy Bible, is sufficient for faith and practice. The greater typically authenticates the lesser. Who can authenticate God?
