When we see those different Books who make up that one inspirational
Book of Books, we can either see those 40 different authors, Hebrew or Greek writers from 19 different occupations (including shepherd, farmer, fisherman, tax collector, doctor, king)
Could it be possible that those human writers all speak in the name of the same
Spirit?

In these 66 books we hear them telling about history, prophecy, poetry, and theology.
Despite their complexity, differences in writing styles and vast time
periods, the books of the
Bible agree miraculously well in theme, facts
and cross-referencing. No human beings could have planned such an
intricate combination of books over a 1,500-year time span.
The writers did live in different places and in different times. Strangely enough there seems to be one line in their stories. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever
been proven false. An honest study of biblical prophecy will
convincingly show the divine authorship of the
Bible, the
infallible Word of God. Furthermore,
archaeology confirms or supports many Biblical accounts. No other holy
book comes close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its
divine authorship.
Everything recorded in the Bible is true and factual, and you will also
see that men of the Bible recorded things that they had no way of
knowing, unless they had been divinely inspired by a greater being than any human being, namely
God, the
Creator of all things.
Nobody has ever seen God, so how can they know that He exist. "Hè" you could think and say to us "you say nobody saw God, but did not many people see and spoke to
Jesus Christ". Then we would say: "Yes, many saw
Jesus Christ"; But that Nazarene man who was a master teacher was and is not God; He is the son of God, which is totally different than "god the son". In case Jesus would have been God than all the people who saw him would have died straight ahead, because God is a man of His Word and never lies. So what He said many centuries before the birth of Christ would still happen at the time of Christ or thousands of years later. God who can not be tempted nor say something which is not true said about the nephew of John the Baptist that it was His "only begotten
son". Jesus who could be tempted and was tempted more than once, did not sin, which also means that he never lied, so when he said he was not a spirit but a man of flesh and blood, and showed his wounds from the wooden stake where he was brought to death (while God can not die and is an eternal Spirit) Jesus did tell the truth.
Jesus his Father is the Only One God and Creator of heaven and earth.
In nature, in Jesus, in the men or prophets of God, in the people of God, we can see the manifestation of God. The trees, the flowers, the beauty of the natural world, the stars; none of these things can answer straight away, the question if that
Creator God has an existing and purpose.
All the things around us can show that there must be a Greater Power who made all this.
We may be sure that all the created elements show the world their existence and the secrets of the
Maker behind it. By those incredible things in the world God His invisible attributes are
clearly seen. Because all creatures are
created in the image of God, all inherited parts of that godhead and received from Him the possibility to think and to understand where they came from. Either with many or with not many brains people still would have the instinct to get to know their Maker and to know what is good or bad. As such they really are without excuse. Everybody received the possibility tho think but also to make their own free choice. So when people deceide to ignore what their heart is telling them they are responsible themselves for their choice and way of direction.
Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were
thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts
were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools … (Romans 1:19–22)
Paul was saying that what we see with our naked eyes of the natural
world provides us with ample evidence that an almighty and eternal power
exists which created and brought order to everything around us. We
don’t need to depend on the thoughts of mankind: the latest scientific
discovery or theory, or the continuing arguments of men. Evidence for
the
existence of God is all around us, if we are prepared to look and
think about it.
Notice too that to deny the existence of God, since He has given
adequate evidence to convince us, leaves us in the apostle’s words,
“without excuse”. It
is inexcusable to deny the existence of God, regardless of what current
philosophy or polite society might think. Do we first need to believe
the Bible to accept this proof? Not so! The Bible is pointing out that
the evidence for an eternal power and Godhead is all around. If you can
accept that, then clearly the Bible will have other good things you want
to know about.
