There is a remarkable unity and symmetry of the Bible that cannot be duplicated or imitated by any other so-called "holy scriptures"

(The Koran, Zendavesta, Shastas, Puranas, Vedas, Sutras, etc.). In the first book of the Bible there is the first creation; in the last book of the Bible there is the last creation. Bullinger laid it out like this: 1) The first creation (Gen 1:1). 2 Satan's first appearance (Gen 1:2). 3) Restoration and blessing (Gen. 1:3- Gen 2). 4) Satan enters (Gen 3). 5) God deals with mankind in general (Gen 4-11). 6) God deals with the Jews in particular (Gen 12 - Mal.). 7) The first Advent (Matt-John). 8) Transition period of the books of Acts. 9) The Church Age (Rom-Phile.). 10) The Second Advent (Rev 19). 11) The restoration of the Jews. 12) The Millenial calling out of the gentiles. 13) The binding of Satan (Rev 20:1-3). 14) The Millenial restoration of the earth (Rev 20:4-6). 15) Satan's final appearance (Rev 20:7-9). 16) The new creation (Rev 21-22).

In that layout, points 8 and 9 are the center events of the Bible plan. You will notice that there are seven points that precede point 8 and seven points that follow point 9. Points 1-8 are the counterpart matches for points 9-16; points 10-16 are like reading points 1-7 backwards The Second Advent (point 10) matches the First Advent (Point 7), the restoration of the Jews (point 11) matches God's dealings with the Jews in the Old Testament (point 6), and so on. The entire book is balanced from start to finish.

How can you explain this, given the fact that the Book was written by forty different authors over a period of 1,600 years on three different continents? Mohammad couldn't even do that as one author in his own lifetime. The only explanation for such a phenomenon is Someone sitting up in Eternity, past Revelation 22, who sees all history laid out from Genesis 1:1-Revelation 22:21 and reveals these things to His creation. in the order He wants. Allah, Buddha, Jupiter, Ra, Baal, Thor, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, et al., can't do that. Only "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ " (Eph 1:3, 4:6) can do that!

It’s exactly for that reason it’s unreliable

@Ceinwyn Shows you have zero understanding. It is exactly for this reason that it must be divinely inspired.

The four gospels contain no less than 48 fulfilled prophecies about one man, and every single prophecy was recorded more than 400 years before He was born. Not even the dates set by higher critics of the Scripture can change the fact that the Old Testament was completed years before the events of the New Testament took place. The mathematical laws of probability prove this phenomenon to be true. Peter Stone, a professor in mathematics and Astronomy at Pasadena City College and Westmount College, demonstrated (through statistical probability) that the odds of any man besides Jesus of Nazareth fulfilling these Old Testament prophecies are not only astronomical, they are statistically impossible. In his book Science Speaks, Dr. Stoner determined that the chance of any one fulfilling the 48 prophecies that Christ fulfilled in the Gospels was one out of ten with 157 zeros after it. The total number of electrons in the known universe is estimated at 10 with 52 zeros after it. In other words, the chance of Jesus Christ fulfilling all 48 prophecies lies outside of science and nature. This isn't all. Not only 48 prophecies, but 500 more that have not been fulfilled yet, that will be fulfilled in the near future. This means that any intellectual who doesn't believe that the text of the Bible is supernatural, is demented. Any Scholar, of any persuasion, in any branch of study, who believes that the Bible is like any other "religious book," is crippled too high for crutches.

@SW-User I take it you wasnt there when Bonaparte was crowned Emperor.

And your witness account of that event will be exactly the same use as a what people write about in the Bible.

@SW-User Why don’t you tell the truth? None of these "prophecies" are in history books and have zero independent confirmation. They are made up in the Bible and only fulfilled in that book of mythological fiction. Some of the more impressive predictions, not at all. Such as the Nile drying up and Damascus being destroyed. 500 more to go? Why the wait?

The math is ridiculous. You can’t assign numbers on predictions. Show us the procedure.
