You keep saying eye witnesses, there is no alive eye witness that has witnessed god, therefore you are just trusting a book.
Oh come on, now! Now you are trying to tell us that history that is recorded never happened. No Abraham Lincoln, right? No George Washington, right? All the courtcases we have on file from the early 1800s are entirely made up, right?
When you look into the kind of people the nation of Israel is/was, you will find that they are some of the absolute best recorders and preservers of the record regarding family and nation history.
Thank you for those examples. The huge difference is that we have thousands of different documents from famous people that lived 200-300 years ago. You only have 1 book, the bible, talking about illogical things like talking snakes and other insane things. We know Isaac Newton exists not only because we have paintings of him but also because of the thousand of documents about him and his research. Someone must have done that research regardless if it was someone called newton or not, that's a fact. There is no research in the bible, there are also tons of other books talking about magical and mystical stuff, what's your criteria here? The book with a lot of copies is the real one?
Thank you for those examples.
The Bible is extremely strong, and shows that God is working in the hearts of people through the Bible. How? The billions of copies. The billions of people who, with Bible knowledge, understand that God exists.... the Bible record that shows true history because it has always been the strongest book in the hearts of people who believe.
How strong is the strength of Godly people with the Bible? Way stronger than any belief in any other writing. Not just a little stronger so that one would have to say something like, "Well, some book has to be strongest." Rather, the Bible is way stronger by many times.
How is this shown? Again, in the multitude of its copies. The biggest showing of this is that there are hand written copies or parts of copies, of the New Testament, from as long as almost 2,000 years ago, in the range of 25,000 copies. No other book comes even close.
In addition, if there were no easy method of copying books like the printing press, there would be no science of today. The Bible would be stronger than ever, because it would continue to be copied because of its strength in the hearts of people who were moved by it so strongly that they copied it. But science would not even exist because of its weakness.
What is the strength of the Bible that makes people want to copy it? The strength is the Holy spirit working in the hearts of people, to show them that the Bible is true, and real, and powerful. Science is only dabbling in what is happening in the universe. The Bible is from God Who made and understands all the workings of the universe. The way this is shown is that the Bible has power in people. Science doesn't have this power because it doesn't know how to move people. Science doesn't have the knowledge of how to move people spiritually, but the Bible does, because the Bible has more basic science in it than any science writing.
Why doesn't most of standard science acknowledge things like spirit and soul? Because modern science is so weak that it can't get a handle on them to measure and manipulate them. But the
energetic distribution of the Bible shows that God has built the knowledge of soul and spirit right into the structure of the Bible. The Bible is truth. It is a true record. Its strength in moving people shows this.
Sure, science might play with a few things that are under the control of people. But God controls even this, so that His desires are the outcome.
Guess what I am really doing with this post? I am showing you how the Bible shows that it has power and strength, and that it is truth. But I am doing it in such a way that you won't understand the strength of the Bible unless you really want to. You won't understand because you don't want to, but if you wanted to, then you would.
Btw, this is only the beginning of the ways that the Bible can be shown to be way stronger than any other writing, for truth and accuracy, and that it is the Word of God.
