The documented historical evidence of the Bible proves it can be trusted as an accurate document.
No book has even been attacked as the Bible has been by emperors, popes, kings, priests and rulers. They die and the book still lives on. If it had not been the book of God, men would have destroyed it long ago.
No other book could ever be written on one subject over a time span of 1,600 years by 40 authors who didn’t all know the others existed. No other book could ever be written accurately telling things that would happen in the future… that did happen, that are happening (and will be happening)!
The Bible has been published in more languages than any other book in history and is now in over 2,300 languages.
God said He would give prophecies of the future so when they happened, men would know that God truly exists.

There are over 8,300 verses in the Bible that contain predictive
prophecy!
For example : The Hebrew scriptures (completed 200 BC) foretold several times when and where Jesus would be born, and that He would be put to death on the cross.
The Old Testament contains about FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE prophecies about the Messiah given. Here are just a few:
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. ...
Isaiah 9: 6-7
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-3, 14
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:3
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" --which means, "God with us."
Matthew 1: 20-23
Therefore the Lord himself will give you will call him Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14
Then Jesus told them, "This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: " `I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered." Matthew 26:31
