Question # 3: Which God is the Right One? Is the Bible Accurate?

      A simple solution to this answer is to look at the book that each faith (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc.) gets their faith from.

         If you can prove one of those books to be right, the rest have to be false (remember: 2 + 2 = 4�there is 1 right answer and infinite wrong answers to this equation). 

      Facts about the Bible:

         Best-selling book in the history of the world

>        Over 4 Billion sales since the Guttenberg press

>        About 150 Million copies sold each year (Harry Potter doesn�t even come close)

>        However, just because it�s the best-selling book doesn�t make it true, but it does make it worth looking into�

         It claims to be written by God

>        Over 3,600 times in the Bible, you will find �Thus saith the LORD� or something similar, so in no way does this book claim human authorship.

>        However, just because it claims to be written by God doesn�t mean it is.

       I could tell you, �God told me to tell you to give me all your money,� but that doesn�t mean God said it.

       A claim such as that must be backed up with some pretty strong evidence.  Check it out�

         Historically accurate

>        No one has yet found a historical mistake in the Bible.

         Scientifically accurate

>        Not one single scientific mistake has been found in the Bible.

>        In fact, the Bible contains several scientific facts�

         Archaeologically accurate

>        Recently, over 25,000 archaeological finds have been discovered in the Middle East, of which not one has controverted a properly understood fact in the Bible.

>        In fact, every one of these finds proves the Bible to be true.

         Fulfilled prophesy

>        Prophesy is defined as the prediction of future events

>        Only one book contains thousands of detailed prophesies: the Bible

>        The Bible contains over 2000 prophecies.  In fact, about � (25%) of the Bible speaks of future events.

>        If any one of those 2000 prophesies were false, trash the book because you know it is worth nothing!  However, every single prophesy in the Bible has come true to the most minuscule detail, except for those about the future return of Jesus Christ.

>        Over 300 prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus alone (see table below).
