Is the bible Gods word?

[dunsapy]

This can be a large topic, because there are many ways to check the bible. From archeology, science, creation, history , prophesies, and what the bible says about itself.( is it full of contradictions?) etc. I certainly don't know everything. And some things are not fully explained in the bible ( or certain usage of words or meanings have been forgotten over time) . But there certainly is enough information to know if the bible is Gods word or not.

Thank you for your additional questions because they revealed that you did not ask them because of a desire to know, you asked them because you doubt the correctness of the report. If they had been asked because of a desire to know, then you would have benefited from answers. But, if you asked them because of unbelief, then answers would probably not benefit you. When Jesus was questioned because of unbelief, he provided asnwers. But I am not Jesus; so when I perceive (rightly or wrongly) that a question is asked because of unbelief, I give up. 'Bye.

I think that you fail to understand the value of genuine skepticism. I challenge all sorts of ideas. I test them and I doubt their correctness. If they pass the test, if they can be proven to, at the least, not appear inconsistent when put to the test, then they merit further investigation or even tentative acceptance. Your answer just seems to me to be a long winded way of saying you really don't have an answer but you are unwilling to admit such.
