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.

What proof is there that the Bible is real?
I'm holding one in my hands right now; I see it; I feel it. It's made of paper and ink. It's real all right. I open it up, and it has the words all spelled out; -- It's real. You can find the Bible in Libraries of the world; that means: it's as real as any other book in the Library. That's my proof.AnswerAs physical objects, Bibles are of course real. Whether they are true is another matter. Then we need to say whether we have proof they are historically true or spiritually true, and whether they are infallible, having been inspired by God. The Bible contains numerous historical errors, too many to mention, so it is not historically true although there sometimes is evidence of passages being more or less historically true. In these instances, the proof is when the Bible agrees with the non-biblical historical accounts.Everyone will have an opinion as to whether it is spiritually true, and this usually depends on whether we believe that God exists or that Jesus is the son of God, but the Bible will not provide proof. What we can say with certainty is that the Bible was written by men and not inspired by God.
Is the Bible a classic book?

Is it true that the spirit of Samuel appeared to Saul?
AnswerTo ask whether something in the Bible is 'true' is to ask whether there is any extra-biblical evidence that directly or indirectly supports the biblical story. There is no such evidence or proof. Moreover, 1 Samuel says that the the only witness was a 'witch' who would not have been thought a reliable witness by the followers of God. It is a matter of faith whether you choose to believe the biblical account.
Why is the Doctrine of Inspiration important to a bible student?
A:If the Bible is merely the work of a number of men over the period of centuries that it took to write, there must always be doubts as to how much of it is true, or even whether it is true at all. The answer to this problem was to define the Bible as inspired by God, which, when understood literally, means that the Bible is infallibly true and without error.Because the Bible can easily be shown to be historically unreliable, many theologians prefer to consider the Bible spiritually true even if not always historically true. Of course, this undermines the very notion of the Bible as divinely inspired.
Which is true the Bible or the Qur'an?
A:Most Christians believe the Bible to be absolutely, or at least substantially true. Muslims believe the Bible to be substantially true, while the Qur'an is absolutely true, as they believe it comes from God. However, the question asks us to look beyond mere belief.Wherever the Qur'an is based on the Bible, then to the extent that the Bible is true or untrue, the Qur'an is also true or untrue. When the Qur'an adds more recent material, such as God's instructions to Muhammad, then it is a matter of faith for Muslims that this is true, while others might believe that this material is not based on fact.The truth of both can be judged by what they say in common. The Bible can not be literally true when it says that the world was created in just six days, and that the sun was created after grasses, herbs and trees (Genesis 1:12-18), because science says these things are impossible. The Qur'an follows the biblical creation closely and therefore shares the Bible's errors. The Bible can not be right when it says that the world was covered by a great Flood that killed all living things not on Noah's Ark. The Qur'an follows the biblical story closely and therefore shares the Bible's errors.For true believers, it is not important which book is true or even whether either is true in terms of history and science. For Christians, the Bible is spiritually true. For Muslims, the Qur'an is spiritually true.

Is the Hebrew Bible the real Bible?
A:The ambiguity of this question hides its very ambiguity. The Bible, at least the Old Testament part of it, is the Hebrew Bible, and nothing else. We can discuss differences found in ancient manuscripts, and whether the Masoretic text more accurately reflects earlier books than does the Septuagint, but these are usually trivial matters. From this perspective, the Hebrew Bible most certainly is the real Bible.Another perspective is whether the Hebrew Bible is divine truth, because the Bible ought to be truth, divinely inspired or otherwise. On this, faith says, "yes", while research says, "no." There are too many well-known historical and scientific errors in the Bible for it to be all-true. What about spiritual truth? That again is a matter for individual faith.
Is the bible true or just something made up?
The Bible is a collection of religious texts considered sacred by Christianity and Judaism. Whether it is true or made up depends on an individual's beliefs and interpretation. For believers, the Bible is regarded as a source of divine revelation and truth, while for skeptics, it may be seen as a work of literature or mythology.
Is the information in the bible true?
We can't guarantee you an answer that is not only logical, but as well unbiased. Many people will choose to say yes and many others will respond with a no. The only way to answer this question is by stating, "You believe what you want to believe" I'm a Catholic, and I do believe the information in the Bible is true. However, in my prespective, there are many things I don't agree in the Bible; but that's my opinion. So believe what you want, whether if you feel the Bible is false or true information.
