why do people believe in the bible?

My Grandfather and Grandmother, both paternal, and maternal believed in the Bible. Both my Mom, and my Dad believe in the Bible. From earliest childhood, I was raised in Sunday School, then church services, every Sunday for the first twenty years of my life. We prayed before meals. We prayed , as a family, during times of crisis. I guess it sort of rubbed off.

I believe in the Bible because it has thousands of fulfilled prophecies. Such prophecies include: the exile of Israel, the sudden increase of knowledge, the Holocaust, and the return of Israel. It is nearly impossible for someone to guess the things that the Bible claims will happen and for it to occur. The only thing that makes this possible is in fact the God of the Bible (the Christian God) is the living God. This is because only God knows the past, present, and future.

I think people believe in God. The Bible is God's Word.

Because, my dear Lauren.

When you've been shoved a certain amount of information down your throats since childhood, your whole world depends on that belief.

It's like loving Yellow submarine when you were a kid, and then when you're older you get offended because other people find it weird (I admit to that though)

Because it is easier. For some people using the brains are painful and so they cannot read other reading materials.

I can see, touch, taste, feel and hear the bible. Yahweh, on the other hand...

Brainwash combined with ignorance and fear.

I guess the same question would be what makes you breath.
