What makes the Bible unique?

Being of devine writing it has under gone thousands of years of persecuting of those who had a bible yet it still is the most sold book in the world.

Friend,

Yes the OT and the NT are the Creators words as far as they are interpreted correctly,and both speak of the Messiah ,or Jesus Christ as the first witness, but another book was prophesied to come forth out of the earth, [ISAIAH 29; V 4] as a second witness of Jesus Christ,even the Book of Mormon ,as found in the book of Ezekiel 37; v 15 -20, if you anagram the 5 main words of these verses [ STICK,JOSEPH ,ISRAEL, JUDAH ,AND EPHRAIM, and join them all together you will be amazed as to what it reads.

Then read v 11-13 in chapter 29, of Ezekiel and compare this with what is written in the History of the church of Jesus Christ of L D S ,when some of the ancient American writings that Joseph Smith interpreted and were shown to a professor Anthos of New York, again you will be amazed , 2,800 years BC, wow ! Heavenly Father knows what he is doing in order to bring us all unto Christ.

Pray and ask for conformation , I did ,"and by the power of the Holy Ghost,you will know the truth of all things" Moroni 10 ; v .3-5.

God bless.

I think that each religion has some followers who make ridiculous claims about their particular holy book. The specifics differ but the gist is always the same: "My holy book is the only one that is flawless and clearly handed to us by a superbeing."

Then they cherry pick the book for supposedly fulfilled prophecies, every single one of which they noticed AFTER the event took place, not before. They never said, for example, "My book predicts that in 10 years X will happen." Instead something will happen and they'll think, "Hey, that sounds a lot like that really vague prediction in chapter 3. Nice!"

You don't get to call them fulfilled prophesies by fitting the prophesies to the facts after they've happened. This is what the Nostradamus groupies do all the time.

Speak to some Muslims. They think their book is unique and yours is, you know, ok, but nothing like theirs. To an unbiased outside observer they're both obvious nonsense.

Prophecy Jesus didn't fulfil

* The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)

* Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)

* The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)

* He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via King Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8-10)

* The Moshiach will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)

* Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)

* Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)

* He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)

* All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)

* Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8)

* There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)

* All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)

* The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)

* He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)

* Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)

* The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)

* The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)

* Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)

* The Temple will be rebuilt (Ezekiel 40) resuming many of the suspended mitzvot

* He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)

* Jews will know the Torah without Study (Jeremiah 31:33)

* He will give you all the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)

* He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9)

KJV. Isaiah 43 v 10-13 is what makes' it above others'. It is not a book of prophecy (man not Gods' meaning) but Gods' diary of the many times' God has been born on earth and came back many times' after Jesus. Both with biblical proof.

I would like to answer from another angle.

ARCHAEOLOGY

Biblical archaeology is the study of the peoples and events of the Bible through the intriguing record buried in the earth. The archaeologist digs up and analyzes rock, ruined walls and buildings, and shattered cities as well as uncovers pottery, clay tablets, written inscriptions, tombs, and other ancient remains, or artifacts, from which he gleans information. Such studies often improve understanding of the circumstances under which the Bible was written and under which ancient men of faith lived, as well as the languages they, and the peoples around them, employed. They have expanded our knowledge of all the regions touched by the Bible: Palestine, Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Babylonia, Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome.

Biblical archaeology is relatively a new science. Only in 1822 did decipherment of the Rosetta Stone unlock Egyptian hieroglyphics. Assyrian cuneiform was decoded more than 20 years later. Systematic excavations were begun in Assyria in 1843 and in Egypt in 1850.

The bible is unique because its not really true modern scientist have proved a lot of thing wrong from the bible.like Halloween it's not and was never the devils birthday it's what the Irish invented and Christmas is not Jesus b-day no one knows its in the six grade history book if your not is religion school you have to skip the lesson it's the law but it doesn't say you couldn't read it.Trust science they proved that humans are not made of dirt but 68% if water.

It has survived for decades, with fulfilled prophecy yet to come.

I think the Bible is unique as well and love it when the facts are presented as you had done....I know they are there...but don't have time to look it all up....I can remember...but not detail oriented...this is nice work and I only hope that those who question or doubt sincerely look all of this up....they won't be disappointed....thanks.

Sprinkle a few historical facts there... Put some lies here... Frost it... Add magical beings and fear for control. VOILA! You got yourself a Bible.
