Is Christianity Fact or Fiction

I like to provoke thought that is why I am asking this question Is Christianity Fact or Fiction.
The main reason that we would say that it is fact is when we read the bible it tells of the historical side to Judaism and Christianity, when we read the new testament which teaches that Jesus Christ the son of God came and died on the cross for our sins. Is this a good enough reason to believe? We are told that Adam and Eve were confronted by Satan in the garden of Eden and they ate from the forbidden tree in the garden and therefore sin entered the world, after all we see a very fallen world around us today.
On the other hand The main reason that we would say fiction is could the bible be just a book that someone has written to get us to conform and to discipline our lives. Maybe there is no God or Jesus, no Heaven or Hell.
I would like to hear what folks have to say on the subject, I have a belief if anyone wishes to guess which belief I have feel free to say.

There is lots of proof that the Bible is inspired by God.

1. One way we know is all the prophesies have come true! Especially written thousands of years ago about the Jews . God said he would scatter them if they stopped worship him, and they were scattered all over the world, and people would persecute and kill them (Hitler). And God said thousands of years ago that he would bring them back, and he did (1948). Jesus, the creator of the universe, said in St. Matthew 24, Luke 1, and in The book of Revelation that the world would be in tribulation like never before when he comes ( we see this now) increase knowledge, travel, cold hearts and falling away from faith, increase great earthquakes, the sea roaring, and the sun burning up the earth, animals and fish dying, and any time now when "Jerusalem is surrounded by armies" then Jesus will come and judge the living and the dead, and make a new heaven and a new earth as he said.

2. Another reason is looking at the countries in Europe with protestant kings and leaders have all prospered the most of all nations the last 1000 years. The vikings in Scandinavia all turned to Christ and the countries turned peaceful. No corruption, fear, or unhappiness, but prosperity. Christian families prosper; they are happier than Roman Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or atheist families. They forgive each other, and the wives are treated loving and equal.

3. Another reason we know that the Bible is true is that the true followers of Jesus are loving and they will give account what God has done for them, miracles. (I have a pinned miracle post on my profile) And when Jesus saves us we are changed. The Holy Spirit comes into our hearts and we become loving! This doesn't mean that our lives are easy, no. But God helps us through each storm and if we are faithful he takes very good care of us!

"Follow this book of the law and meditate on it day and night, then you will be prosperous and successful." Joshua 1:8

"Test me in this , says the Lord, give me your first tithe and see if I will not pour down a blessing from heaven and your barns will overflow"
I have tested God in this and he is good with his promises. He does not dissapoint if we put him first.

There are many You-Tubes how Muslim wives share how different their husbands were after they became Christians. God saves people all over the world regardless of their religion, and people can attest they are different. How does he save? He draws a person towards himself, towards truth, and then he puts his Holy Spirit in their hearts. Then they want to serve Jesus and testify to others. Christianity is the biggest religion, and it is going into N. Korea China and to tribes right now.

God says
"This Gospel will go out to every nation, tongue, and tribe then the end."

Jesus is coming back this generation so be ready to meet your maker. I hope I will see you in the sky! 🙂
