Is The Author God or Is It Humans?

Post #1

Post by RedEye »

Christians often tell us that their holy book is the true and unadulterated word of their god (the one true god). Here is an opportunity for you to give your reasons as to why you believe this.

So, Christians how exactly do you know that the Bible is the word of God and not simply an invention of human minds?

Bear in mind that Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the word of Allah, the Jews believe the Tanakh is the word of Yahweh and so on. At least one of you must be wrong since all of these books cannot be the work of the one true god. (Why would he need two or more wildly different books?).

Would it be a reasonable expectation that if a holy book was dictated by God then it would reveal some knowledge of the world which was beyond the humans of the time? We see no evidence of this. In fact, we see the reverse. Holy books contain information which has been demonstrated to be wrong by science.

Therefore, what is the key piece of evidence which convinces you that God authored a holy book and it could not possibly be an entirely human construct?
Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
