This is why there is concern over the book of Ester and the Apocrypha, as some of the information contained in these books can not be corroborated in other texts. Take the book of Ester for example, it does not corroborate with Daniel who was at the palace during the time that Ester was supposed to be there, yet Daniel (a prophet) never mentions Ester. There were scribes of the temple during Christ's time and afterword, who attempted to deceive Christians by offering up false works such as this book of Ester.
Study of biblical text requires more than surface scratching in order to understand what is written and where the multiple witnesses occur. For instance; one can not grasp the meaning of Genesis chapter 1 if they are missing its companion 2nd Peter chapter 2, and Jeremiah 4 (starting at verse 22). People will attempt to fit all occurrences into one earth age (eon) which does not match what is written.
Further, you must pick a version of biblical text which allows one to accurately find the respective original words in Hebrew, Chaldee, or Greek in which the texts were written. Without this connection the meanings behind what has been translated into English (or any other language) are lost. For instance the word Nation which is used in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 is actually the Greek word Ethnos. Those reading a transliterated version and not a translation version would be lost as their connection to the original Greek word is lost. This would cause people to look for fighting among nations an not fighting among ethnic groups as a sign of the end times.
In summary, yes the bible is a true book, but one must be warned that it takes some study to discern and rightly divide it as was the order (2 Timothy 2:15-16)
Do you want to know whether The Bible is historically true, scientifically true or spiritually true?
Archaeologists and historians have established that almost nothing in the Bible prior to the period of the Judges is historically true. From that point onwards, the biblical history becomes gradually more aligned with actual events, although scholars say that the Books of Daniel and Esther were written as Jewish novels and only in subsequent centuries began to be regarded as reflecting actual events.
Science and the Book of Genesis do not agree, so to that extent we can say the Bible is not scientifically true. Whether the prophet Elijah literally ascended to heaven in a fiery chariot and whether miracles ever really happened are matters of faith, not science.
Perhaps an unarguable spiritual truth is found in Ecclesiastes 9:5: 'For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten'. If the Bible is literally true and Ecclesiastes is a legitimate book of the Bible, this should be a troubling statement for believers.
Definitely. Archarologists found the name of biblical Gideon on a ancient piece of rock.
My opinion: YES!
I believe the bible is a book of historical events put together from peoples diaries to tell us about God and that we should trust and believe in him.If you don't believe in him it is your choice but I feel sorry for you due to the consequences.
God is the true author of the Bible. He used men to pen the Bible
The bible is true you idiots!
Do not read the true Bible and allow yourself to be lord of your own life
The catholic bible has about seven books added to he bible.
The Bible wasn’t written to teach science or to be a school textbook, but what it says about scientific matters is always accurate. When the Bible talks about history, it is always accurate.The fact that so many Bible prophecies have already come true means that we can trust what the Bible says about the future. The Bible can change your life. It can help you to know who you really are. It can help you to understand your deepest thoughts and feelings. Truly the Word of God.
none of them are true. The Quran is the true book of god.
God is the true author of the Bible. He used men to pen the Bible
The Bible makes it clear that the true head of the Church is the Clergy.
There is no such statement in the Bible, the Bible says nothing about God's true name being lost.
None of the parts in the bible are wrong.

The bible is true you idiots!
The whole Bible is true.
The bible is true.
If the Bible is true then those who follow it can depend on paradise in the next life. If the Bible is not true, then their efforts, their faith and their commitment have all been in vain. Moreover the missionaries and preachers who spread out and seek to convert others are doing no one a favour. If the Bible is not true, then it is possible that the Hindu scriptures or some other holy books are true, or it is possible that atheism is the correct worldview. These are some of the reasons it does matter whether the Bible is true.
TRUE
The Holy Bible does not mention anything about that . . . in fact, in the Bible, God's true form is never revealed.
