PROOF: Judeo-Christian Bible Inspired of God
ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
Unlike the bibles of other religions, there is EVIDENCE the Judeo-Christian Bible was divinely i
What evidence is there that the prophecy's were written before the events? How many of the "fulfilled" prophecies were being actively worked to fulfill by those who knew them?It's like the gospels claiming Jesus fulfilled the Messianic prophecy of the jews (despite not being a warrior king, and all the other requirements, etc) because he rode a donkey AND a colt into Jerusalem.
DesertCat:
The writers of the prophecies lived long before the prophecies were fulfilled. For example, the destruction of Jerusalem and Judah was prophesied by both the prophet Isaiah and the prophet Jeremiah. See Post 56:

ISAIAH
Many sources agree that Isaiah lived in the 8th century BCE. One such source is Encyclopedia Britannica.
"Isaiah (flourished 8th century BCE, Jerusalem) was a prophet after whom the biblical Book of Isaiah is named (only some of the first 39 chapters are attributed to him), a significant contributor to Jewish and Christian traditions. His call to prophecy about 742 BCE coincided with the beginnings of the westward expansion of the Assyrian empire, which threatened Israel and which Isaiah proclaimed to be a warning from God to a godless people."

JEREMIAH
"Jeremiah (born probably after 650 BCE, Anathoth, Judah—died c. 570 BCE, Egypt) was a Hebrew prophet, reformer, and author of a biblical book that bears his name. He was closely involved in the political and religious events of a crucial era in the history of the ancient Near East; his spiritual leadership helped his fellow countrymen survive disasters that included the capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and the exile of many Judaeans to Babylonia."

Isaiah's prophecy against Jerusalem and Judah:
"{5} Isaiah now said to Hezekiah: "Hear the word of Jehovah of armies, {6} 'Look! Days are coming, and all that is in your house and all that your forefathers have stored up to this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left,'" says Jehovah. (Isaiah 39:5-6)
Jeremiah repeated Isaiah's prophecy against Jerusalem and Judah:
"I will bring [the Babylonians] against this land and against its inhabitants . . . And all this land must become a devastated place, an object of astonishment, and these nations will have to serve the king of Babylon seventy years."—Jeremiah 25:9, 11.
Jerusalem and Judah were destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E., more than 100 years after Isaiah wrote the prophecy and years after Jeremiah repeated it.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Oops, god gets it wrong in the very first sentence. Earth wasn’t created until billions of years after “the beginning”.

That Genesis story is just such an obvious hand wave, "We don't really know anything about origins. We are just going to write some flowery, mystical sounding, poetic language about it." No one who ever got their mind outside of Sunday School parameters takes it as anything else. I find some of the cosmologists dismantling of the Genesis sequence a bit meh. It's like dismantling a mythic poem by analyzing its reality testing. Good luck with that.
When the Creator separates the water above from the water below with a vault, why does he call the vault “sky”? What is God doing here?
God creates worlds, but he also creates a world within a world, which is exactly what he is doing here. The vault which separates the waters is called sky because it’s being formed as the top of a new world within the world. The Creator separates the light from the dark. One world is in the light while the second world is in the dark. All of this is describing, from a first-person / phenomenological view, the external world (revealed) and the internal world (concealed).
The father promised the child a new paradise in a new world. Believers await the fulfillment of this promise in the external world because they see this world as singular. This is the only world they can see. Remember, Christ blesses those who believe without seeing. He blesses those who are willing to be guided by the Holy Spirit through the world hidden in darkness. For whoever is willing to blind themselves, the HS will guide you to the promised land.

The Bronze Age goat herders who write the old Testament were trying to make sense out of the world and justify their patriarchal society, their slave holdings, hatred of gays, shellfish, and genocides.

Christ was just a man. There is no reasonable evidence he had any supernatural powers, just as there isn’t any for a creator.
You need to establish strong reasons to believe in them before anyone should care about what you think about their motives.
