The bible is real because god says so and god is real because the bible says so.I know about God because of what the Bible says, but the evidence for the Bible is not because God said so. There are plenty of evidences for the Bible other than the Bible itself, even more than I already mentioned.
There is evidence that the bible is written by god? What evidence is this? As far as I know you've quoted prophecies, and quoted miracles from the bible but since you can't even substantiate that the bible is true (it doesn't correspond to known history and science, as I have already said), there's no reason to think anything written in it is true.
Quote:PBB Wrote:Can you prove that the prophecy was written before the events happened? And can you prove that it was god who made the prophecy and the writer did not just overhear from some advisor or whatever?There is every reason to believe this prophecy is a genuine one. While it is true that Isaiah was divided into three parts, and another prophet likely wrote this prophecy, the qualifications for even being a prophet lend a lot of credibility. Here is one of them:
Deuteronomy 18:22 Wrote:when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.Like you said, prophecy has to be 100% correct, and the ancient Jewish people knew this, yet there is not a single claim, as far as I can find, that these prophecies were anything other than genuine, from ancient times up to the present.
How do you know that Deuteronomy is divinely inspired by your god? not any other god, yours. How do you know it's valid?
EVEN IF IT IS:it's a pretty bullshit thing to write. That's like saying, everyone's a psychic until they make wrong predictions, then they're no longer psychics and no longer under my employment. If I ran a company that hires out psychics and I put that in my disclaimer, would you see me for the conman that I am?
So deuteronomy doesn't even come close to proving that the prophecy was written before the events. Someone can easily do that. Or it wasn't divinely inspired at all, it was just some expert's analysis that was written down as prophecy due to superstition. You haven't substantiated anything.
