Therefore, it is very important to determine IF the Bible is reliable. The Bible is a collection of 66 books (39 Old Testament, 27 New Testament) written over a period of 1500 years by approximately 40 different authors about creation, history, prophecy and Gods plan for all of creation. This fact is a miracle ALL by itself! How can 40 different authors over a period of 1500 years write a collection of work that doesn't contradict itself?? It can not do this without Divine intervention! Facts and principles such as the earth being round Isaiah 40:22 , earth being suspended in nothing Job 26:7 , valleys in the seas 2 Samuel 22:16 , sanitation Deuteronomy 23:12,13 , quarantine Leviticus 13:45-46 , and blood being the source of life Leviticus 17:11 (DNA) ALL these scientific findings were recorded in the Bible hundreds (sometimes thousands) of years before they were “discovered” by scientists. These are just a few examples, there are many, many more. Who else but God could have revealed such things that were unknown to man – and yet would later be discovered and confirmed? GOD knew because he created them all!  Hundreds of prophecies have been documented!   Prophecy is a promise from God of what is to come. Unlike other books and false religions whose predictions have come and gone (and failed) the Bible has never missed. Consider Psalm 22:12-18 which describes the crucifixion of Christ. Now consider that this book was written 1,000 years before Christ was even born, and at least 600 years before crucifixion existed! This is just ONE example regarding Jesus, there are hundreds more.Google "fulfilled prophecy" There are many ministries, scientists and historians whose work exclusively deals with prophecy. It seems pretty clear at this point that a book written by so many different people over such a period of time containing all of these undiscovered scientific principles and specific predictions about people, places, and events with 100% accuracy could only be the product of something supernatural - God. He tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16 that he is the author. The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in 1947, are an overwhelming source of confirmation. These scrolls contain manuscripts about 1,000 years older than what we previously had... and they all match! It takes a lot more blind faith to ignore the Bible than it does to accept it as divine and reliable. Many intelligent and scholarly skeptics have set out to disprove the Bible and God’s existence only to find overwhelming evidence that God does exist and the Bible is His Word. Jesus says if you seek him honestly He will personally make himself known.</blockquote>
