Do I look like I'm kidding? I cannot give you all the evidences here on this site...there's simply not enough space!  But here are a few categories of evidence for the trustworthiness of My Book.  These should get you thinking...and, hopefully...motivate you learn more.

1. Over 2,000 predictive prophecies fulfilled... and counting. One of the most recent and amazing fulfillments of prophecy was the restoration of Israel to her homeland.

Jeremiah 31:8-9   "He who scattered Israel will gather them again and will watch over his flock like a shepherd. For the Lord will ransom the descendents of Jacob from the hand of those stronger then they they will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion..."  

After 2000 years this is a miracle of incredible proportions since there is not a single culture that has maintained its identity in the middle east for that length of time especially after being scattered to the four corners of the world and persecuted by every nation it inhabited (also predicted).   No other religious scripture, Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, Confucian etc. contains ANY predictive prophecies whatsoever, much less ones that have come true. The Bible is full of them and every one of them has come true or is about to come true.

2. Archeology -  The Bible's multitude historical, cultural and Geographic details are accurate to the highest degree.   Sir William Ramsey an atheist with a Ph.D. in Archeology from Oxford set out to disprove the Bible by disproving the Book of Acts because of its many detailed descriptions of events and locations in the Middle East during the first century he felt that it would be easy to find inaccuracies and inconsistencies that would bring the accuracy of the whole book into question.   After twenty five years of digging,  he finally declared that Luke was accurate down to the minutest detail. In his attempt to disprove the Bible he discovered literally hundreds of relics that proved the historical accuracy of the Book of Acts. He stunned the world when in one of his books he finally declared himself a Christian! 

3. It's honesty about the failings of it's heroes.   If the Bible were a whitewash job,  a literary glorification,  it would never have included such embarrassing details of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba and his murder of her husband.   Israel's idolatry.   Incest among some members of the early church. etc.. 

4. It's power to change lives.  No book has changed the world as the Bible has.  It is the basis for Democracy and the Judicial system of all free countries.  It brings out the best in mankind.  And gives man's life meaning purpose and hope.  It has been said about the Bible that if it is a fraud "Good men wouldn't have written it and bad men couldn't have written it."   Why?  Good men wouldn't claim that God was the author if he wasn't and bad men wouldn't write a book that is so uncompromising in it's condemnation of evil. So who would have been left to write it NO ONE.   But for now suffice it to say that Jesus is the greatest authentication of the Bible he said:

5. The cost of writing it. Almost every one of its writers was tortured and killed for writing it but not one of them took back a word. They would rather die than deny the truth. 

 

That William Tyndale translated and published, in 1526, the first-ever mechanically- printed New Testament in the English language?

That he did this in an era when the English Catholic church had in effect a law that made it a crime punishable by death to translate the Bible into English, and when on one day in 1519, the church authorities publicly burned a woman and six men for nothing more than teaching their children English versions of the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments and the Apostles’ Creed?!

Mark 13:31 "Heaven and earth shall pass away but my Word will never pass away ."

Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is is living and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword it penetrated even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

But you don't have take anyone else's word for it. Read it yourself and then decide. 

Eternity is too long to be wrong!
