The bible does not prove that the bible is true.
The Bible wasn't written to prove God or itself, the thing I'm saying, if the Bible was fable and I'm not saying it is, I have given proof that Jesus did claim to be the Son of God. I know you're not going to accept Him as a real person in history and I was not asked to prove He was, I do understand about faith and it's part in Christianity. I'm not so stupid as to believe I can prove God to you, and I have always stated so.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
