Does anybody know of another book that can tell the true future?

Man Made Fiction to manipulate people, the bible does not tell the future. 

What else ya got?

Many. Donald Duck and the Temple of doom comes to mind. Or was that James Bond, I forget. Something with eating sheep brains.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The Bible is neither fact nor fiction. It isn't fact because it is non-factual. It doesn't qualify as fiction (at least not entirely) because the term 'fiction' implies that the authors knew what they were relating to be false.

The only book that accurately predicts the future is The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. Study up.

I can tell the future. Get back to me Monday, and I'll accurately predict many of tomorrow's events.

Before such things became superfluous because of the internet, I used to have a tide table book.  It was pretty accurate.  Nobody seriously expects that the bible or other holy book is super predictable.  Of course even if you did think that, you'd then have the problem of how to interpret what it is it supposedly is predicting.  Bunch of malarky really.

In his defense, the tide book can tell the factual future. Only buffoons can believe something telle the true future, which has everything to do with what the buffoon wants the future to be, nothing to do with what the future will be.
