Why Believe in God?
Reason #8
The Bible (the Word of God) contains very accurate fulfilled prophecies.
They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.
- Psalm 22:18 (NKJV) (circa 1000 BC)
... And they divided His garments and cast lots.
Luke 23:34 (NKJV) (circa 30 AD)
The book of Psalms, composed mostly by king David around 1000 years before Christ, along with other books, notably Isaiah, contains some remarkably accurate prophecies fulfilled by Christ. No other secular or religious book can make the same claim with the exception of the book of Nostridamus whose 'prophecies' were so nebulous as to find fulfillment at just about any time someone desired to have them so.
Who but God, who claims total knowledge and power, could, through inspiration, give such foreknowledge to men? Who else in all of history has such a track record? Answer: no one.
