Hi Reepicheep,
<i>''...written by Paul,...'' </i>
should mean man-made then? You don't have to answer that, it is just a reflection from my side when I read it. It is also a very sidestep to the subject, so better leave it.
<i>''The fact that Paul isn't "predicting the future", ... does not prove or disprove that the Bible is divinely inspired.''</i>
This answer do not go along with the question I put to you about this 'future event', not in the context of it. It was, if I may back a bit to the previous answer,
<i>''Obviously, these events couldn't have been written down during the "time of Jesus" since the events hadn't occurred yet.'' </i>
You wrote that some things COULD NOT have been written down earlier SINCE the event HAD NOT OCCURED yet. That is not the same thing as you are responding to now. You are turning the question into another answer, as I understand it?
BUT you say <i>''God of course knows the future.''</i> And that was MY point to, but you answered that since events had not yet taken place it could not have been written down beforehand. But of course they could, IF it is revelation from Allah, SWT.
Regards
