This was going to be awesome. But due to the sheer amount of content, i’m going to stick with excerpts and links.

If we put all these factors together—the Bible was written over fifteen hundred years by forty different authors at different places, under various circumstances, and addressing a multitude of issues—how amazing that with such diversity, the Bible proclaims a unified message! That unity is organized around one theme: God’s redemption of man and all of creation. The writers address numerous controversial subjects yet contradictions never appear. The Bible is an incredible document.
(that is 40 authors, in 3 languages, on 3 continents, over a span of 1,500 years, no contradictions, one message. )

Archaeology does not directly prove the Bible’s inspiration, but it does prove its historical reliability. Middle Eastern archaeological investigations have proven the Bible to be true and unerringly accurate in its historical descriptions. Nelson Glueck, a renowned Jewish archaeologist, states, “No archaeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference.
[…]
At this time, the number of archaeological discoveries that relate to the Bible number in the hundreds of thousands. (1996)
[…]
Jesus fulfilled over 60 prophecy’s in his lifetime, including where he was born and his work at the cross and how he would die etc.
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which date from 200 B.C. to A.D. 68, included a copy of every Old Testament book except for one. Comparison with the texts of a thousand years later shows little or no variation and change between them.
notes on accuracy and some notes on prophecy about Israel here.
part 2 will be a list of stuff i can find that proves the bible is not accurate or contradictory (or trys to at least 😉

ok first off. WTf i ahd a nice simple question for you, and u replyed with this. and yes it is avery compeling argument, however when ever i try and find a hole in ur arguments u simply reply with another very compeling argument. but you never seem to answer my holes, and seem content with your compeling arguments. but there are holes in your arguments and i want to ask you to try and focus on those. ok.
me: ok here a simple question. is god rational?
REK]: lol…
fine
yes
me: is it was possible to understand gods reasoning without direct help from god? (yes or no)
rEK]: afaik no
if direct also included indirect ofcourse
me: yes
how then is it possible to determine the bible is correct? do u have to use intuition or reason?
ok do we agree that there are two main ways to make a decision. reason and intuition? if yes then which is used to determine the validility of the bible? if no then make a case for another method of decision making

‘Comparison with the texts of a thousand years later shows little or no variation and change between them.’
Really?
There is only 1 OT book where that can be said.
