What you have to remember is the chances of many people (most of them who never met each other and came from different eras and cultures, from fishermen to kings, all recorded a collective document that harmonises and complements every other section of writing; this is one of the things that proves that there is one mind behind all that was recorded. It's scope of origin is about 1600 years, with everything written down from around 1500BC to 100AD.
The second thing that proves it ultimately originates outside our time and space is it's intimate knowledge of the future, with the human authors having no way of even dreaming about the detailed future events they are writing down.

No other document in human history comes close to such detailed content.
It is when studied, proved to be the eternal word of God.
So, who chose what was recorded in these prophets documents back then? Exactly, just the ones they wanted. Early missionaries spouting their nonsense to try and control the masses as far back as time goes. No one is buying it anymore….looking at the state of the church in the uk and the age if those who go, I’d be amazed if hardly any churches still exist in 100 years, a bit like the decline seen in the last 100 years. I’m just off to watch Jurassic park with the kids
