Does fulfilled prophecy show that the Bible is God's word?

Yes.  Jesus fullfilled 362 MAJOR, SPECIFIC prophecies regarding is FIRST Coming.  Many of these were written hundred's of years before His virgin birth.\nThere are prophecies telling that He was, and is God - Micah 5:2\nprophecies in Isaiah that foretold that He would be born of a Virgin\nprohecies that foretold that he would be riding on a donkey\nand prophecies.... thousands, of the end times that foretell of His Second Coming.\n\nMy question, for those who question whether or not the many thousands of end time prohecies will be literally fullfilled is this:  If you accept the reality that Jesus, literally fullfilled the 362 MAJOR prophecies of His FIRST Coming in The Bible, why not in the same way accept, that the ones pertaining to His Second Coming be also fullfilled in the same way?  Be consistant with the way your accept the revealed Word of God.\n\nFinally, many cults like The Watchtower & Track Soc.; The Mormon's, Seventh Day Adventists, are big on prophecy.  For those looking to do a study on Bible Prophecy.... I appeal to you to humbly seek God and call upon Him for wisdom and discernment, because many false prophets and wolf's have gone out into the world

The Bible is the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God.  Everything in it is true.  People didn't create the New Testament, but holy men wrote as they were led by the Holy Spirit.

Scriptures are given by God and are True from the Beginning\n\nThe Holy Scriptures are not the private interpretation of men (2 Pe.1:20 below), but they are given by God through the Holy Spirit.\n\nALL Scripture is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Pe.1:21, 2 Tim.3:16, 2 Samuel 23:2, Eph.3:5 below).\n\nGod’s word is true from the beginning (Ps.119:160 below).\n\nGod is the God of truth (Ps.31:5, Deut.32:4, Ps.25:5, Jn.17:17 below). \n\nAll Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Tim.3:16 below).\n\nThe spirit of Truth will guide you into all truth (Jn.16:13 below)\n\nIf a religious author’s writings do not speak according to the Holy Bible, there is no light in them (Isa.8:20 below).\n\n\n2 Pe.1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.\n\n2 Pe.1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.\n\n2 Tim.3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:\n\n2 Samuel 23:2 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me (David), and his word [was] in my tongue.\n\nEph.3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;\n\nPs.119.160Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.\n\nPs.31:5 Into Thine hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.\n\nDeut. 32:4  He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are judgment, a God of truth and without iniquity; just and right is He.\n\nPs.25:5Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day.\nJn.17:17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.\n\n2 Tim.3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:\n\nJn.16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.\n\nIsa.8:20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

Yes to all your questions. It seems we have heard it forever that God will return for those who have made themselves ready. Will we hear it the next thousand years? Don't think so. All you have to do is look in Revelation and see this is truly the last days. All the old prophecies are almost totally fulfilled. The world is just about at the place when God will finish up and do what he said he would do. Most people either don't believe the end is almost here or don't wish to believe it. One day we will know for sure want we?

You will find your answer at 2 Peter 1:20,21 - "For you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit."\n\nSo, the Almighty Creator of the Universe, Jehovah God, is the ultimate source of the Bible.

No- it is NOT the word of God. Not one bit...\n"Yes because even science proved its authenicy. That gospel is indeed factual."\nTime out! They did prove it was written in the correct time frame- but that does NOT mean the words written are fact... Especially since it is not fact.\n\nGod Bless.

Simply, no.  The Koran is not a prophetic book, but the Bible is.

The scripture of truth is sealed to the time of the end (Dan.12:4, Dan.12:9 below).\n\n\nDan.12:4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.\n\nDan.12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end (Dan.12:4 above).\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa)

I've seen a lot of Christians take verses out of the Bible and insist that they are "prophecy"... but they're one of the following.\n\n1. Prediction of something that's either very likely or inevitable.\n2. Prediction of something that happens later in the same book.\n3. Completely wrong, out of context, or contradictory to reality.\n4. Prediction of something that happens in another book, but in the context of the author having literary access to the prophecy referenced. \n\nNone of these things qualify as "prophecy". Prophecy is a unique prediction, the event happening on its own without "help" from those who know the prophecy beforehand.

with no doubt the Holy Bible is God words ... but how can we follow it if it has been changed many times over years! ... how can we trust a verse that is true and other is not ...\n\n\n\n" But on account of their breaking their covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard; they altered the words from their places and they neglected a portion of what they were reminded of; and you shall always discover treachery in them excepting a few of them; so pardon them and turn away; surely Allah loves those who do good (to others). "\n\n\nThe Holy Qur'an\n005.013

I have the KJ Bible. It is the true inspired word of God. There are no books left out. God put everything in there that He wanted us to know. I take God for His word. Many other Bible have been changed, and rewritten to please man.  Jesus is the living word, and the Bible is the written word, and it is true from the beginning, to the end.

Of course.  All of the bible has been translated and re-translated hundreds of times, and all subject to the political and social morals of the monks keeping the records through the centuries. Don't kid yourself about it being "God's Word" and thus unchangeable and infallible.

I couldn't say yes or no with much authority, but I can refer you to some sources, and some questions for you to consider, that should lead you to answer your question for yourself. My observations base of the assumption that the Bible is consistent withitself:\nDeut 39:39 (the author of the Bible intended that people understand it => it has no secrets)\nRom 1:18-23 (reveals that everything is plain)\nRev 1:19 (Revelations writes about the past, the present, and the future)\nEcc 12:13 (purpose of life)\nIf you read some of the book of Daniel, you discover that Daniel's dreams prophesied things to come -- Alexander the Great.\nI cannot prove to you if this is the case or not, but all my research thus far has led me to the believe that the Bible is what it claims to be. We still have to use the basic principles of common sense and logic. Its message (including prophecy) can be discovered asking 5 basic questions as we read: 'Who wrote this/who is it written to? Why did they write it? Where did it take place? When did it take place/when was it written? What is the author trying to say.'\nAs does any book, when read in context, answers are found in doing more reading.\nYou could pose another question asking about a particular prophecy you had in mind. I hope your reading is an adventure.

The Holy Bible is the word of God and is the truth.

I never question the word of God. he said it, and i believe it. I may not understand everything in there, but that is when i pray and ask God to reveal it to me. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. Seek, and you will find it.  He has showed me many things. he can do the same for everybody.
