Prove The Bible is the Word of God

If someone ask you to prove that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, how would you respond?

Give as many details as you can.

Thanks

I would refer them to someone who is smarter than I like Josh McDowell or Max Lucado.

David Bernard has an excellent book, "The Infallible Word of God", that lays out many arguments.

Re: Prove The Bible is the Word of God

I'm sure they all have very good material.

But how would you prove it? Or can you? Using others materials is fine also. I don't have their material but have studies this years ago.

You can't prove it. That's something you have to take by faith. Even if you prove it accurate, you're only proving man's words accurate. You're not proving that man wrote words that God inspired.

Re: Prove The Bible is the Word of God

you can prove the bible is the word of God by an extensive study of prophecy or by experiencing the gift of the holy ghost. In other words if a person can be born again and receive the hg speaking in tongues then the bible is true, but in order for that to happen you must be a believer.

Re: Prove The Bible is the Word of God

Has anyone seen the movie about Billy Graham as a young man when he had a crisis of faith as to the inspiration of the Bible?

Even extensive study of prophecy can only prove the accuracy of the Bible, not that the Bible is the word of God.

And, experiencing an experience spoken of in the Bible, again, only proves the accuracy, not that it's the word of God.

That it is the word of God is something a person must take by faith.

Re: Prove The Bible is the Word of God

Some would say that if prophecy proves the Bible to be the Word of God then the writings of Nostradamus are the Word of God.

Exactly. The Bible isn't the only book containing accurate prophecy.
