Questions of Bible authenticity are common, some examples include, “Can the Bible be proven?” or, “If man wrote the Bible, why should I believe it?” and, “With so many translations, how do I know the original meaning wasn’t altered?”
There are several ways to prove the Bible, but all take time and individual effort to truly study the words of God and their meaning.
"Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:20-21 NIV).
Some questions to consider while studying for Bible proof:
• Do the scriptures contain facts that agree with common scientific evidence?
• Do the scriptures contradict each other? (e.g. does what I read in Daniel agree with what I read in Revelation?)
• Are there prophecies that fit with the time I am living in?
It may be helpful to refer to these Bible study topics for further reference: Bible Proof, Recognizing the Last Generation, The Beast and the main menu titled Prophecies.

Is the Bible true, can it be trusted?Guest User, Unregistered Yes, and by the way, if a person does not believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God please consider what ISAIAH wrote some 2700 years ago: ISAIAH 40:22 “It is He who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers”. How else could ISAIAH have possibly known the earth was and is round unless inspired by God. And is it just coincidence that the word “circle” appears nowhere else in the Bible.
1. HypocritesGuest User, UnregisteredYes what has been written in the Bible is true. Certain individuals have changed the meaning of the Bible so they can manipulate people to get what they want. "He (Jesus Christ) answered and said unto them, "well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, this people honereth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. However, in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men". |
