Ten points to the first person to say "yes" and have the facts to back it up--without quoting the Bible itself or using anything that references it. I'm talking objective, historical evidence of total infallibility and proof that everything in it is 100% accurate and literal. Undeniable proof that not a word could be wrong.
Good luck. =)

I think many of you are missing the point. A simple yes or no answer would suffice as well as references to back up your claim.
Also, why only study the Bible? Is there really anything wrong with studying the teachings of every other major world religion, just to have an open mind and expand your knowledge?

The kind of proof you ask for isn't possible to provide...for anything, not just for the truth of the Bible. You (or I) could offer an alternative explanation for virtually any evidence someone could choose to provide regarding the "truth" of something. The way I see it, the proof is in the pudding. The only way for you (or I) to know that the bible is true is to accept everything as true OR to accept everything as false and then look for the evidence in your own life (and beyond). I accept that the bible is 100% accurate and the evidence of my own life supports that conclusion. When I choose to disobey God's instructions, I have witnessed first hand, the negative consequences for myself and for others...I may not have recognized all of those truths yet, but I have never found anything that was false. I could tell you hundreds of stories to illustrate my point but would that make you believe, would you accept my experience as "facts" to back up what I'm saying? I think not...why then would I think that I could offer you any so-called "historical evidence" related to the experiences of others that you would accept as a fact.

Sorry charlie...No-body's gonna get that prize, the Bible was created by a committee of Romans working for Constantine, much of it was just self confirming gibberish and anything that would be impossible to prove false because it was so vague, the rest of it preached pacifism and submission to the "lords of the land" (Rome,) and hot steaming death to anyone else. The greatest sin in Christianity is blasphemy...Saying that its a great big pant-load is the worst thing you can do in this universe...That makes sense...If its bologna...
Got any crack?

This is a trick question. The bible is 100% perfect, but there are large portions where there are visions given to prophets... Daniel for example. Those visions require understanding and interpretation but we receive that if we study the entire bible. Sometimes the interpretation is given by the prophet himself.
Proof that the bible is perfect is the affect it has one ones who take it's message to heart. They become better people, better wifes & husbands, better children, better neighbors.

"total infallibility and proof that everything in it is 100% accurate and literal."
You need to get in to the original language. Show me a translation that is 100% accurate.
I do not think you are asking with a heart to know anyway, so why should I take the time?

This is going decrease back to the assumption of postulates. An occasion in geometry is that 2 parrellel strains on no account touch and are continuously the comparable distance from one yet another. you have not any info, you merely anticipate it. And from which you would be able to draw futher conclusions which includes if a line interesects one in all the two strains at a given perspective, it additionally will interesect the different line on the comparable perspective. you retain development on your unique unproven postulate and boost an exceedingly in touch geometric technological know-how from it. in case you run into yet another concept which you won't be able to tutor based upon the unique postulate, you upload yet another in spite of the undeniable fact that it may not countradict any previous postulates. With Christians, they have as their first postulate "the Bible is genuine." they are in a position to not tutor it yet with the aid of fact it fairly is a postulate, they anticipate it fairly is genuine and desires no info. each thing after that must be based upon that assumption. If some thing can't be geared up upon that concept they could desire to characteristic yet another postulate. If some thing that demands a counterdiction of a prior postulate come alongside, they are in a position to not settle for it without throwing out their unique postulate. and that they flat out refuse to do it. so as that they duck the completed situation via demanding an self sustaining info of it. yet in spite of in case you're able to desire to offer them one hundred% rock solid info, they could nevertheless seek for to disclaim it if it went against their user-friendly postulate of "the Bible is genuine." turn it around on them. Use as your postulate, "Evolution is genuine." Now it fairly is as much as them to tutor their Bible is genuine. and that they are in a position to not do it.

The only way you, or anyone, can come to know they can trust the bible as the word of God is to have that be revealed to them, through your own study of the bible, by the spirit of God.
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
