Why do you believe what the Bible has to say about the supernatural over the Qu'ran, the Bhagavad Ghita, the Pali Canon, the Tao Te Ching, the B'ahai scriptures, the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the Book of Mormon, the Illiad and the Odyssey, and every other "sacred scripture" of every other religion?

Why the Bible?

Do you mean that of all the scriptures, that's the message you like best, or that you think it is true? If you think it is true, how did you decide that the Bible was true over the other scriptures I mentioned?

Fulfilled prophecy, with an accuracy rating of 100%. No other religious text can make such a claim.

What criteria did you use to determine that the Bible had "divinity and timelessness" and that the others did not?
I ask because I wonder what criteria people use to decide among competing supernatural claims.

The Opener of Locks
You don't place criteria on Supernatural claims, you place it on the Natural Claims, and that is where Divinity and Timelessness come in.
Divinity is the presence of things that could not be known, and yet are known.
Timelessness is the application, that this work still applies across cultural barriers and generations.
Hope this Helps you out a little Bit.
God Bless

They don't come off to me as untrue as far as text goes. Their message is quite false and defeating

I have put the Bible to the test concerning some of its claims and found that they work. Because of those results, I have no reason to doubt that the areas I haven't tested won't work just as well.

Well as for L Ron Hubbard, I say his stuff is a load. Why? Because of this quote from Dr. Hubbard himself "If you want to make a little money, write a book. If you want to make a lot of money, start a religion"

The Bible is the one religious document that has been around for all of mankind's existence. It has continued on unchanged. Also, it was not man-made. It is a record of real events, not what some mortal man made up himself. It is historically, scientifically, and spiritually consistent and accurate. Most of all, a religious document is not true because more people believe it. The Bible is true, and it is the only way. You would be wise to choose it too.

The bible makes unique claims about itself
such claims only have a relative equal in the Quran
the other holy books of the world do not claim to be a revelation of salvation but books of songs and instructions for rituals
(his is true of the Hindu and Buddhist texts)
the real issue would be the distinction between the Bible and the quran (which claims to be the completion of the bible)

I wonder how old you think the Earth and humankind are, and if the Bible isn't a human product, how was it written? What evidence do you have that the Bible is scientifically and historically accurate?

So what you are saying is that if you find evidence of hypocritical purpose in the origins of scriptures, that would be a good reason to discount them?
