"Who are you to presume the motives and methods of a god?"

His word says different. Disprove the Bible is Scripture, inspired by God. Show me all of the contradictions, and I'll show you MANY fulfilled prophecies that attest it's veracity.

So you assert. But you're not a god.

Woah, you're the one asserting that the Bible is inspired by a god. The burden of proof falls to you. Your assumptions do not get taken as fact until proven otherwise, you have to pony up evidence for your claims to be given consideration.

No. You'll show us prophesies the Bible says were fulfilled. There are a number of ways to retroactively prophesy: the prophesy being written after the event it prophesizes -- the Book of Daniel appears to be an example; making the prophesy vague enough that it could apply to numerous events (Revelation has been used to predict the "end times" for centuries); or squeezing an actual prophesy to fit an event it might not actually cover (the virgin/young lady controversy, for example).

Many of us who critique the Bible have actually read it through numerous times, and have read commentaries from Christian, Jewish and non-believer scholars alike. A lot of the apologetics one gets on these threads consist mainly of wishful thinking and a belief the individual espousing them has been granted some special insight by God Himself. The plain words of Scripture speak for themselves.
