OK, so maybe you don't particularly think the bible is true. Maybe you will after these facts. The Bible has 66 books, 1,189 chapters, and 31,170 verses. It was written by AT LEAST 40 humans ranging in professions from shepards to disciples to kings to servants. And, it was written over a time span of at least 1500 years. The Old testament was written over 1000 years itself. Given that time period and those many men with completely different occupations there has to be a few contradictions, right? Well, for the record there is NO, i repeat, NO contradictions in the Bible. How can this be? Because all of the words are inspired by God himself. If it is inspired by God then it must be true.
