How do you know that the bible is the word of god?

If you think the Koran is the word of god, why do you believe this? If you think that Joseph Smith had plates that came directly from god, what makes you think this is true? And what do you think of the books of the other religions? Why are their books not truly the word of god?

I know this isn't a simple question, but if you have a legitimate answer to why you believe your book to be the one, real book, I'd like to understand it. Thanks in advance...

    Such a question can't be answered in a forum like this. Go to YouTube, especially DrOakley1689's channel. He is a scholar of Biblical manuscripts and the Greek language. There are a lot of videos and lectures discussing this topic. I can't condense all the information and post it here.

    the Holy Spirit conviction works for me & studying Manuscript History leads me to believe the KJV 1611 is God's word without error for english speaking people. God knew in the beginning that english would be the world wide language in the end. the Bible has always existed in the most popular language of the time.

    It's not the word of god, but someones version of what they think god would have said. Later on it became what the church wanted them to write as the word of god.

    Either God doesn't exist or he does exist but everything that he told us was changed in the Bible to be false.
