How do you convince someone that the bible is true and from God?

Answer 1

If that were possible, there would only be one religion on Earth. And how can The Bible be true when it contradicts itself, over and over? Either something is true, or it is false. Which of these lines of scripture are true?

Mat 27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."

Luk 23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

Joh 19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

There are also two different creation stories - Gen 1 and Gen 2.

I would recommend starting by understanding fully the thing you wish to convince others of. Or, you could respect the fact that religion - your's, and everyone else's - is not based upon fact, but upon faith, and are all equally valid.
