“And?..”
“Well Christians cannot possibly think it’s OK to only use a book written by men about God, and think that’s proof that it came from God can they?”
Yep they can – in fact, using men to write down the future in advance and always being accurate, is the only way one can know you are dealing with the real God. Think about it, if God dropped a handwritten (by himself) autobiography from heaven (which is kind of ‘proof’ you hear people requesting from God to prove His existence – as if He would be manipulated by His created beings) no-one would believe he was the one who organised it.
But God was much smarter than to play games with people that really only want to find loopholes to be able to evade His judgement when they are called to the great courtroom and specifically their court case in the sky. God made sure The Bible was written by men – on purpose, then He inspired it’s contents and it’s editing and this is different and in fact – the perfect method God chose to silence the neigh-sayer. How so?.. let me explain.
The Bible is not like any other holy book in existence. It’s a book of Prophecy. And let’s face it, if a prophet is not 100% right – he is not a prophet – he’s a guesser. ‘Guessers’, and others them (like Nostradamus – never 100% correct on any of his guesses) that were happy to concoct their own prophecies for fame and other reasons – hoping they would turn out to be true and bring them fame and fortune were to be stoned in The Bible for leading people astray and more importantly, away from God with tales of their own devices.
Now The Bible – written by God or not gives the precise way you can know you are dealing with the real God. That God must be able to tell men in advance – what will happen in the future and be not 20% right, not 30%, not 50%, not 60%, not even 75% right (Nostradamus) – but 100% right. And no one can argue with that statement wether God wrote it or not. Because; if you are wrong at all on any point you are not God, as God by definition must know the future (or he is not God). Isaiah declares what differentiates a true God from a false one;
Isaiah 46 v9-10
I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
The God of The Bible; the great cosmic editor in the sky
We can breath a sigh of relief since the God in The Bible is a God of prophecy. In other words he inspired men to write down the future before it happens and challenged us in Isaiah 46 9/10 that only he is the true god and if we want to know this for sure all you need to do is study the prophecies and watch them all come true 100% In other words god precisely chose this method of inspiring men to write down the future beforehand (27% the bible is prophecy) as no other method would prove the true God from the false ‘god’.
God proves his existence and that He is the one true God precisely by using men to write down and arrange His thoughts in advance so all mankind can watch the events unfold with 100% accuracy!
