Maybe I can help you see the light and the truth that Jesus wants you to see. The fact that the Bible is the Word of God is rooted in several key theological, historical, and spiritual considerations. The Bible is unlike any book ever written on this planet. Here are some reasons we as Christians hold this view and, are taking part in trying to spread the Good News of the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Divine Inspiration
The Bible claims to be inspired by God. The Apostle Paul wrote: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” 2Timothy 3:16, This “God-breathed” nature implies that God guided human authors to write His words without error in the original texts.
Hypothetical Odds
If we were to assign a hypothetical probability of 1% chance per author that their writings would align perfectly with others across centuries, the compounded odds of 40 authors remaining consistent would be:
Let me clarify how the calculation works and correct any confusion: The calculation represents the compounded probability that 40 independent (authors aligning their writings perfectly) each have a 1% chance of occurring without error.
is shorthand for the number 1 followed by 80 zeros. It expresses an incredibly small probability.
This aligns with the idea that if the probability of each author being consistent is 1%, the compounded chance for 40 authors is almost impossibly small without divine intervention. Let me make this clear for you. If you use the math you will come to learn the Bible is the only book that proves itself to be trusted. Without the Lord’s divine intervention the bible would be just another book. Now take this a step further with the bible’s 66 books over the same 1,500 years. Out of diverse backgrounds (kings, fishermen, prophets, and scholars) in different languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic) not one of these 66 books have any inconsistencies. If you add all the bible prophecies that have come to pass it becomes mind blowing.
Prophetic Fulfillment
The Bible contains numerous prophecies, many of which have already been fulfilled, affirming its divine origin. For example: Scholars and theologians generally agree that hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled, particularly those related to historical events, the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and the development of nations.
Key Areas of Fulfilled Prophecies:
- Messianic Prophecies:
- Over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament are said to have been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Examples include: Born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:22-23). Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1-6). Crucifixion described in Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, fulfilled in the Gospels. The mathematical odds of 300 prophecies being fulfilled in one person, as Christians believe they were in Jesus Christ, are astronomically low, demonstrating what many consider to be divine orchestration. Example Calculation by Peter Stoner: Peter Stoner, a mathematician and astronomer, calculated the probability of just 8 specific Messianic prophecies being fulfilled by one person by chance. His results were as follows:
- Odds for 8 Prophecies Fulfilled:
- The probability is 111 in 101710^{17}1017, or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.
- To visualize this, Stoner described it as covering Texas in silver dollars two feet deep, marking one dollar, and having a blindfolded person pick the marked coin at random on the first try.
- Expanding to 48 Prophecies:
- The probability for 48 prophecies fulfilled by one person is 111 in 1015710^{157}10157.
- This number is so large it exceeds the total estimated atoms in the observable universe (108010^{80}1080).
- For 300 Prophecies:
- The odds are incalculably small but effectively impossible by random chance alone, indicating overwhelming statistical evidence for divine involvement. When you add all the prophecies that don’t deal with Jesus’ first coming that have be fulfilled you come to understand there is no way someone could know all these future events unless he were God! Let’s analyze a small set of non-Messianic prophecies:
- Destruction of Tyre (Ezekiel 26:3-14): Predicted that Nebuchadnezzar and other nations would destroy Tyre, and its debris would be thrown into the sea (fulfilled by Alexander the Great).
Probability: 111 in 10410^4104 (1/10,000). - Fall of Babylon (Isaiah 13:19; Jeremiah 51): Predicted Babylon’s conquest and permanent desolation, fulfilled in stages.
Probability: 111 in 10510^5105 (1/100,000). - Regathering of Israel (Isaiah 11:11-12): Foretold the global regathering of Jews, fulfilled with modern Israel’s establishment.
Probability: 111 in 10610^6106 (1/1,000,000). - Rise of Persia and Greece (Daniel 8): Daniel’s vision of the Medo-Persian and Greek empires accurately described their rise and fall.
Probability: 111 in 10310^3103 (1/1,000).
- Destruction of Tyre (Ezekiel 26:3-14): Predicted that Nebuchadnezzar and other nations would destroy Tyre, and its debris would be thrown into the sea (fulfilled by Alexander the Great).
- The odds are incalculably small but effectively impossible by random chance alone, indicating overwhelming statistical evidence for divine involvement. When you add all the prophecies that don’t deal with Jesus’ first coming that have be fulfilled you come to understand there is no way someone could know all these future events unless he were God! Let’s analyze a small set of non-Messianic prophecies:
- Odds for 8 Prophecies Fulfilled:
- Over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament are said to have been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Examples include: Born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:22-23). Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1-6). Crucifixion described in Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, fulfilled in the Gospels.

His results were as follows:
The accuracy of fulfilled prophecies points to a source beyond human understanding.
The Lord’s Transformative Power
The Bible has profoundly changed the lives of millions upon millions over centuries. The Lord’s teachings bring hope, healing, and moral guidance, reflecting divine wisdom. Hebrews 4:12 states: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword…” This “living” quality suggests the Bible continues to speak to readers personally and powerfully. The bible shows it is truth from God by the mire fact that you can see the results on people who reject God and his word. Example: For the past four years under the Biden Harris administration and their parties liberal agenda we have witnessed a rapid decline in morals in the U.S. Now at the end of the Biden Harris administration the people in America who have seen what the Godless liberal agenda has done to America has stepped up to fight against this moral decay. 99% of the main stream liberal media for two years kept telling us Donald Trump had no chance of very being elected again, look what happened? President Trump not being a perfect man like all of us wanted to bring back God into our society and, God made the impossible possible by crushing the Demarcates. The is no question God works in ways we don’t understand but, what is clear God does transform lives and this includes President Trump. Since President Trumps assassination attempt he has made it clear he understands God saved his life.
Historical Reliability also proves the Bible is true
Numerous historical discoveries have provided evidence supporting the accuracy of the Bible’s narratives, its historical context, and its described events. The book of Mormon is a great example of a book not from God. Many LDS members view the Book of Mormon as a spiritual document validated by personal revelation rather than archaeological evidence. There reason why they do this is because there is zero archaeological evidence found.
Unlike the Bible, which has numerous archaeological finds corroborating its historical claims, the Book of Mormon lacks direct archaeological support for its detailed accounts of peoples, places, and events. There hasn’t been one archaeological discovery for anything that the book of Mormon teaches. Concerning the book Mormon, Jesus showed Paul the future and I believe this warning is in part directed to the Mormon religion. Look at what Paul warned us in Galatians 1:6–9, “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.” What Paul warned came true exacted as he warned it would. The Angel Moroni we are told came down to earth and gave Joseph Smith information via gold tablets that would turn out to be the book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon was first published in March 1830 in Palmyra, New York. Joseph claimed it was a sacred text, containing the records of ancient peoples (Nephites, Lamanites, and Jaredites) and their interactions with God. Of course there is no evidence since March, 1830 that proves anything Joseph Smith wrote is true! Add to the fact that Joseph Smith had a long list of false prophecies unlike the true bible. Here are some of those false prophecies made by Joseph Smith.
The Coming of Jesus Christ
- Prophecy: Joseph Smith declared that Jesus would return within 56 years.
- Source: History of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 182 (1835).
- Statement: Joseph claimed the Lord told him that 56 years “should wind up the scene” and bring about the Second Coming (interpreted as 1891).
- Outcome: Jesus did not return by 1891.
- LDS Response: Some interpret this as conditional, contingent on circumstances such as faithfulness or world events.
2. The Temple in Independence, Missouri
- Prophecy: A temple would be built in Independence, Missouri, during “this generation.”
- Source: Doctrine and Covenants (D&C) 84:1–5 (1832).
- Statement: The temple in Zion (Independence) would be constructed in the “generation” of those living at the time.
- Outcome: The temple has not been built nearly 200 years later.
- LDS Response: Many believe “generation” could mean a symbolic or extended timeframe.
3. Destruction of New York, Boston, and Albany
- Prophecy: New York, Boston, and Albany would be destroyed if the people rejected the gospel.
- Source: History of the Church, Vol. 1, p. 315.
- Outcome: These cities were not destroyed as prophesied.
- LDS Response: Some argue this was a conditional prophecy based on repentance.
4. The End of All Nations
- Prophecy: All nations would be overthrown “not many years hence.”
- Source: History of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 182 (1835).
- Outcome: The nations of the world continue to exist.
- LDS Response: Some interpret this as symbolic or still awaiting future fulfillment.
5. The U.S. Civil War
- Prophecy: In D&C 87 (1832), Joseph Smith prophesied that the U.S. Civil War would begin in South Carolina and lead to widespread global conflict, involving other nations.
- Outcome: The Civil War began in South Carolina, but it did not escalate into a global conflict.
- LDS Response: Many LDS members view this as partially fulfilled, with the possibility of future global wars aligning with the prophecy.
6. The Second Coming After the Nauvoo Temple
- Prophecy: Joseph Smith suggested that the Second Coming would occur shortly after the Nauvoo Temple’s completion.
- Source: History of the Church, Vol. 5, p. 368.
- Outcome: The Second Coming did not occur.
- LDS Response: Some see this as conditional or symbolic.
7. David W. Patten’s Mission
- Prophecy: In D&C 114 (1838), Joseph Smith prophesied that Apostle David W. Patten would serve a mission the following spring.
- Outcome: David W. Patten was killed in October 1838, before the mission could take place.
- LDS Response: Some interpret this as conditional on Patten’s survival.
8. Zion’s Redemption
- Prophecy: Zion (Independence, Missouri) would be redeemed and become a gathering place for the Saints.
- Source: D&C 101:17–20.
- Outcome: Zion has not been redeemed, and Independence remains a typical city.
- LDS Response: Many believe this prophecy is yet to be fulfilled in the future.
9. The Failure of the Kirtland Safety Society
- Prophecy: Joseph Smith declared that the Kirtland Safety Society, a bank he helped establish, would succeed.
- Outcome: The bank collapsed in 1837, leading to financial ruin for many members.
- LDS Response: Some argue this was not a prophecy but an expression of confidence. Keep in mind, false prophets and people following false prophets always have to come up with excises for their failed prophecies.
10. The Gathering of All Nations to Zion
- Prophecy: All nations would gather to Zion before the Second Coming.
- Source: D&C 45:69.
- Outcome: While the LDS Church has grown worldwide, all nations have not literally gathered to Zion.
- LDS Response: This prophecy is often seen as ongoing.

Endurance Over Time
The Bible has survived centuries of persecution, criticism, and attempts to destroy it, yet remains the most widely read and distributed book in history. This endurance is seen as evidence of God’s preservation. Ask yourself this question. Why is it that the only faith that has been continuously persecuted by the main stream media in this last generation is the Christian faith? When was the last time you heard anyone including the main stream media put down, make jokes about, or censor any of the thousands of different religions around the world? You don’t hear or see that because there is only one true faith and that is in Christ Jesus. The word of God will continue to prove what has been written in its 66 books is 100% true. If you still don’t believe just stay tuned because, in the very near future all the prophecies which haven’t been fulfilled yet are about to be completed. Some of those prophecies are the rise of the Antichrist and his false prophet, the building of the Jewish Third Temple, and a major delusion that will mislead many people into believing the lie as warned by Christ.
It’s not to late to receive Jesus as your Lord and savior. Our world is rushing toward the final days leading up to the rise of the Antichrist. Please give Jesus a chance to open your eyes to the truth.
When the Jehovah’s Witnesses come knocking on your door, you really need to know who it is that is knocking! Let me show you where the angels came from that the Watchtower Society says are guiding them?
For years I did an in-depth research on what the Watchtower Society of the Jehovah witnesses have been teaching. The average Jehovah witnesses will never check anything their leaders teach them so they could never know what their leaders teach has come from Satan and, his angels who are suppose to be guiding the Watchtower. If you are a new Jehovah witness I promise you what you will see in my paper the Watchtower does not want you to read. In my paper I will use the Watchtowers own documents to prove Satan is behind your teaching. Jehovah witnesses are good people who have been led away from God’s truths. Since we are running out of time in these last days it becomes very important that you as a Jehovah witness review what your leaders are hiding from you. Click the link below to see how Satan has ruled the Watchtower organization. Your soul depends on it, and where you spend eternity depends on whether you’re willing to make sure of all things. If you don’t check your own teachings you can not say you have made sure of all things, nor can you really claim to be Jehovah’s Witnesses!

Read Chapter 21 of my book on the rapture of the church. See link below. What did Jesus mean when he warned the following: 2 Thessalonians 2:11 “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:” This verse comes in the context of discussing those who refuse to believe in the truth of the Gospel and instead choose to follow falsehoods and deceit. It suggests that God allows or permits a powerful delusion to befall those who reject the truth, leading them further away from it and towards believing lies. This is seen as a form of judgment or consequence for their rejection of the truth. Is is possible when the Church of Christ is raptured away to heaven that the strong delusion may be the people missing were taken away by aligns and the ones left on Earth are good people, when in fact the opposite is true?
