How did the people who wrote the bible get the "word of God" and how do we know it's true?

Answer 1

They got the word of God because they claimed to be possessed by the holy spirit, or to be having a prophetic episode during the course of the writing. We do not know it is true, because we only have what those people say was the case (and it was may authors, not just one).

Answer 2

Scribes transferred the stories to papyrus and then they were taught in the synagogue.

It isn't all true. A story becomes bigger and bigger as it is retold. Then, on top of that add Constantine had the books assimilated into what we now call The Holy Bible. Problem is, the book was altered and censored again and not even all of the books were included.

Answer 3

The bible was written by men but inspired by God. So through the help of his holy spirit, they were able to write down the word of God.

EX: A lawyer usually has a secretary type of a letter to send to his clients. He doesn't actually type it up, but it's everything he wants to say, but the secretary types it up. So it's not her word, it's his.
But I guess I shouldn't have used a lawyer to prove it's true :-)

It just is. It's God's word.
Try out the counsel in there and see if it works for you.
I did. And it proves true over and over again!

Answer 4

We don't know. There is no evidence that the claims of the Bible (particularly the more fantastic ones) are even vaguely true. Even the authorship is in doubt among theologians.

Of course, that won't stop the Religious Right from trying to pretend they've got everything wrapped up in their nice package of superstition...

Answer 5

They got the word of God when they burned funny weeds on their home fires and inhaled the fumes. I spoke to Mickey Mouse once by doing this. We know the Bible is not true!

Answer 6

Rhemas: God will teach you from his word, liek this: By contrast, the Logos (λόγος), is typically used in Scripture to refer to what God has said to His people, that is, the collection of God's sayings about Himself, His relationship with His creation and His Church. The Logos of God is true for all time and in all places. It is easy to see how this can be interpreted both as the bible (God's Word Written) and in the Person of Jesus Christ (God's Word in the Flesh) as seen in John's Gospel, Chapter 1.

The Holy Spirit often uses passages in the Logos of God to create specific guidance, Rhema, for the individual. An example of the Rhema of God is to consider how several different people can read the same passage of Scripture and each sees something different. This occurs because each person is in a different place spiritually in their individual lives so God's word to each of them in that moment of their lives is different - specific to their needs. The Logos (God's original meaning and intention) has not changed, but the Holy Spirit has used it to speak to each according to his or her needs

Evangelical Christians, however, have a much different understanding of rhema. Many evangelicals see rhema as being almost synonymous with logos. In other words, the specific guidance we receive from the Holy Spirit at any given time can only be discerned by the general principles laid down in the written word - the Bible. But this sort of guidance is not the same as that described above - it can only give general guidance about how the decision should be made. If we used the same example of the Christian wondering about when to start their business, the evangelical would argue that God will not give any specific guidance - it is up to the person to work it out for themselves. What God can give guidance on is on how that business should be run, and what the business actually does (Running a Brothel, for instance, would be wrong).

For evangelicals, then, the rhema is when God speaks directly to a person as they apply the Bible's teaching to a specific subject. Some Evangelicals do not believe that the Christian may make up his own mind when there is no Biblical teaching on a situation. However, this will never come up because these Evangelicals believe that there is a biblical teaching on every situation, specific or otherwise.

Answer 7

If two Gods: Law vs Grace are allegory compared,
it's obviously as comparing two words: Law/Grace,
and notably as if comparing surely die Lie vs Truth,
and perhaps it's as a Before/After Shew... to Know.

Eg: John 1:17
The law (and lie) was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came by JC(not CJ).

Law: God their Destroyer... via ignorance
Grace: God our Saviour ... via understanding

Solomon: Proverbs 4
with all thy getting get it: understanding = grace glory

The word of God: is also the word of reconciliation;
Grace: is: notably seven things in Hebrews 4:12.

The GRACE of our Lord J-->C with you-->all. Amen.

Answer 8

First of all we don't know and we never will for sure. It is only based on faith, if you believe that's it. If you do not believe, that's it too.
According to cristian faith, humans wrote the bibble inspired by god. Of course this can not be proven, so if it is accepted it should be accepted as a dogma

Answer 9

By the power and the unction of the Holy Spirit.

We know it's true because the Holy Spirit of God communicates it and confirms it to our spirit.

This is something that only a true born again believer in Christ can attest to

Answer 10

They got the 'word of God' from out there somewhere and we don't know it's true. It's a matter of faith, which requires no proof.
