Men wrote it and for that reason many will dispute it. The proof is found in the truth it contains and in the changed lives of millions over thousands of years. It must be Spiritually discerned because it was Spiritually written. Without the Spirit it will be hard to interpret and understand. To have the Spirit one must accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, unless God grants some things be revealed to you before being saved.

The Bible isn't written in sound bites and that i'm in no way one to declare that something is what that's with looking some sentences earlier and a few after. So right this is that verse interior of context from the hot worldwide version. And Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic have not got an identical regulations as English there are countless word in all 3 languages that mean an identical element. English has a tendency to have purely one word for issues like love or evil jointly as the different 3 have 4 or 5 distinctive words each. 5 i'm the LORD, and there is not any different; apart from me there is not any God. i'll bolster you, inspite of the undeniable fact which you haven't any longer recognized me, 6 so as that from the transforming into of the sunlight to the area of its placing adult men may be attentive to there is none besides me. i'm the LORD, and there is not any different. 7 I variety the sunshine and create darkness, I deliver prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, carry out a little of those issues. 8 "You heavens above, rain down righteousness; permit the clouds bathe it down. permit the earth open extensive, permit salvation spring up, permit righteousness improve with it; I, the LORD, have created it. 9 "Woe to him who quarrels along with his Maker, to him who's yet a potsherd between the potsherds on the floor. Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' Does your artwork say, 'He has no palms'? So consequently NO he's no longer the guy who's evil. he's the writer of stability in this international. He prefers to furnish us stable issues yet he warns us additionally against being prideful and questioning we are above him.

No, absolutely not, because you can't use a thing to prove or define its own self. Even if there was a Bible prophecy that appeared to come true later that would not be proof of the Bible's accuracy as the word of God, because a Bible prophecy would come out of the Bible.
I'm sorry to say that there is literally no actual way to prove that the Bible is the word of God. We have means of proving that works written by other ancient writers are actually their true words based on large collections of manuscripts, comparing handwriting and word choice, etc. But in the case of the Abrahamic God, there is simply no way to prove it. I guess you have to take it on faith, if that's something you can bring yourself to do, although the fact that the Abrahamic God apparently wrote three distinctly different texts, all of which contradict each other outrageously, makes it even harder for rational people to swallow.
You COULD choose to say that the Koran, for example, is not really the word of the Abrahamic God, but unfortunately the Koran has exactly the same quality and quantity of proofs in favor of a divine author that the New Testament does - and the Old Testament, too. So if you chose to disregard the other texts that claim to be written by the Abrahamic God, you would be making a purely arbitrary choice.
Sorry, there's no proof at all.

I've read the whole thing a couple of times, and major sections three or four times and the NT at least 6 times. My understanding is that the 'Bible as the word of God' must be taken on faith and faith alone.
Fortunately, the Bible does tell us what faith is: "Faith is the subsance of things hoped for" Heb. 1:11. Hope is nothing more than a personal, human desire irrespective of actual circumstance or evidence. It is upon this thread that millions have been killed in the name of God.

The "Word" of God cannot be spoken, nor can it be written. The Bible therefore cannot, obviously, contain it. The Bible speaks to the fact that God exists, but it neither contains God, or the Absolute Reality of God.
The Bible is physical, the words in it are either terms that refer to things of the physical plane or are "abstract" terms. Abstract terms are words that are made up to point to that which Man cannot perceive using his physical senses. Such things are Esoteric, itself an abstract term using the Greek term "eso" which means "within". Esoteric refers to subtle realms existing within Man that cannot be known physically. These realms are the MIND and Spiritual realms within Man.
Only those ignorant of the Spiritual realm within Man would delusionally imagine that the "Word" of God could be found within the pages of the Bible. It is the MINDs of these people feeding them delusional thoughts that convince their brains that what they "think" is true. Their "belief" is therefore delusional but thought to be true.... because they lack Knowledge of either their own MIND realm, or the Spiritual Reality within themselves.

The Bible in all its variations is a badly written historical document. Men knew and were documenting the events...Moses came down from the Mountain and blah, blah, blah...Jesus climbed a hill and told his desciples...blah, blah, blah. Most of the chosen books of the various versions of the Bible were written AFTER events occurred and those that weren't are intended as life lessons or allegories to learn from. There isn't much prophecy in the Bible that hadn't already come to pass (AFTER THE FACT DOCUMENTATION).

Yes. All prophecies written came true as promised.
With respect to RT, who says, that the prophecies were really accounts of events written after they had taken place, please think about this. The prophecies in the Book of Daniel as they pertained to the destruction of Babylon were so accurate that critics claimed it was actually a book of history and not of prophecy. This included the prophecy that doors tothe gates of the city would, inexplicably be left open. That would be a neat trick, considering the fact tht fragments of this scroll were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and were dated to about 100 years BEFORE THE EVENTS WRITTEN.
There's also the fact that archeological evidence has been unearthed in recent years that provd the existence of Pontius Pilate and King David, both of whom had been scoffed at as being fictitious.
There are plenty of external ways that God's Word is proved true.

Even if a bible passage says this, (which it doesn't. how could the writers know which future books would be included in a single volume?)... it is not Proof. It is simply another assertion. No evidence at all.

Isaiah 14:1
For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Jeremiah 16:15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
Written some 600 & 700 years before Christ, these prophecies were fulfilled in May of 1948, and Israel remains in their own land today.

No. Again, the idea that the Bible is the Word of God is not a Christian doctrine.
