How Can we Believe That The Word of God is True?
There is a great deal of scientific evidence that supports the Bible as being true, what it all comes down to is this, Believing it to be true yourself. If one does not believe in God how can he/she believe in God's Word. If one believes in God than it's important to know His Word, otherwise he/she would not have all these questions in the first place. Not to mention that not knowing God's Truths is a matter between life and death.

The Proof of Prophecies
One of the strongest arguments to prove is the accuracy of the Bible in predicting the future, known as prophecies. The Old Testament was written between approximately 1450 BC and 430 BC.During that time many of the predictions of the future were recorded in the Bible by God's Prophets. Of the events that were to have been taken place by now, every one of them proved to be 100% accurate. No other sacred writing, or false prophets (fortune tellers) has such perfectly accurate predictions of the future.

Proof of Jesus Prophecies
There are predictions about Jesus throughout the entire Old Testament, most of them referred to Jesus as the "Anointed One" and a few as the "Messiah" who was to arrive in the future. Since these prophecies were written down at least 400 years before they happened, there is no doubt that the Bible’s writers were inspired supernaturally, by God. About 4 BC, His miraculous birth had taken place, and starting at age 30, He fulfilled many of the prophecies written about the Messiah. His fulfillment of these prophecies was very spectacular: Jesus gave sight to the blind, made the lame walk, cured those who had leprosy, gave the deaf hearing, and raised people from the dead! These miracles and others were done many times in front of thousands of witnesses for three years. About 30 AD, Jesus was crucified and died. Three days later he rose from the dead, after which He was seen by over 500 witnesses. All these were prophecies that came true.

Proof of The Nations Prophecies
There are many prophecies written in the Bible that can be proven about the rise and fall of nations. Typically, when God declared judgment on a nation, He would send a prophet to announce to the citizens why He was judging them and what He was going to do to them if they continued their evil behavior. On occasion, God would also tell the citizens how He would reward them if they started doing what was right. Like other prophecy recorded in the Bible, these predictions support the supernatural inspiration of the Bible. The prophecies recorded in the Bible came true in such a detailed way that they could not have been predicted by chance. Further, archaeologists have evidence that these prophecies were written down many years before they were fulfilled, proving that they were not falsified documents claiming to be prophecies that came true. (The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls stopped the majority of that talk.).

Proof From The Dead Sea Scrolls
The Old and New Testaments are both strongly supported by manuscript. The famous Dead Sea Scrolls are one example of the Old Testament evidence. These documents came from the “library” of a settlement founded at Qumran before 150 B.C. and abandoned about 68 A.D. Some of the manuscript copies were made during that period, and some were written earlier, 3 BC, and brought to the settlement. The Dead Sea Scrolls match the Hebrew text behind today’s Old Testament, in spite of the passage of over 2,000 years, where one would expect errors to have crept in.
