Compared To Homer's Why The Bible Is True?

It is said that a Christian can be stumped with three questions. The questioner starts with, “What are your beliefs on *insert topic here*?” The Christian responds with an answer based on Biblical truth. Then they are asked, “Why do you believe this?” and the Christian answers, “That’s what the Bible says.” Finally the questioner asks, “How do you the Bible is true?” at this point most Christians are stumped. A way to satisfy the questioner’s inquiry would be to give reasons supported by geography, prophecy, and archaeology to just name a few. First of all, the Bible is true based on the accuracy at the time it was written and the process by which it was copied down. The New Testament was written between A.D.50-90. The difference between

Also, there are over six thousand portions or full copies of the New Testament. Compared to Homer’s the Iliad, one of the most trusted documents in human history, which was written in 900 B.C. its earliest copy is A.D. 400, that’s a five hundred year difference. Plus, there are only six hundred forty three known copies of the Iliad. The Bible was inerrant at the time it was written down because the authors were eyewitnesses. They also had hundreds to even thousands of other eyewitnesses to back up their writings. If the Bible was false, then the hundreds of eyewitnesses would have disproved the Bible soon after it was written. The Bible was copied with almost near perfection, minus a few errors that were inevitable, since they were human. The Hebrew copying process leaves little room for error with rules such as; if a single letter was added or deleted,

In Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were cast into a furnace for refusing to worship the gold statue of Nebuchadnezzar. This furnace must have been big enough to hold three men, most furnaces aren’t that big. It has been found through archaeology that Nebuchadnezzar liked glazed bricks to decorate his palace. These bricks are made by firing them in a furnace twice. Furthermore, there is now a motive for Nebuchadnezzar to have furnace that big, in order to make enough bricks to decorate his extremely large palace efficiently, he must have had at least one large furnace. Also, in Joshua a battle is described between the Jewish people and Sennacherib. Archaeologists have found a prism relaying all of Sennacherib’s battles, this prism has an almost word for word version of the battle described in Joshua. Although the prism does not include the fact that the Israelis defeated Sennacherib, why would he include his losses on his gloating record? These instances, plus many more, add to the credibility of the
