Be honest: when you read the bible what makes you think it is of divine origin? [Spirituality & Religion]

There was a time in my life where i really wanted to believe and i tried hard to have faith and asked with all my heart that god reveal himself to me. But predictably he did not. And the more i read, the more it became obvious to me that the bible was the work of men.
So base and petty and violent. This was not the work of an enlightened being.

So what makes you feel that the bible is of divine origin?

God will not reveal himself to people like he did when the Bible was written. God reveals himself through the Bible only, and After he saves you (you have to repent and believe Jesus is God almighty) he will reveal himself in his miracles for you. God says" You didn't choose me but I chose you so that you will bear witness and ask anything and I will do it for you" God changes our hearts and changes our lives, that's how I know that he exists.

@Carazaa Didn't work in my case. That's one of the many reasons I'm convinced it doesn't exist.

@suzie1960 God just hasn't saved you yet.

@Carazaa It didn't even when I did believe in it. Why "as a child of god" wasn't I "saved"? (Whatever that's supposed to mean.)

God has not saved you yet.

@Carazaa So you keep saying. One could equally say The Flying Spaghetti Monster hasn't saved you yet. It would be just as meaningful.
