One other point. Whether we like it or not, God has always interacted with mankind through other humans. We don't really have a choice.

That's thousands of false humans and 44 recognized prophets and apostles.

How do we tell the difference?

It was acceptance by their peers. They either performed miracles or made prophesies that were fulfilled.

That acceptance caused their writings to be treasured, preserved, and distributed back when it was extremely expensive to treasure, preserve, and distribute something.

To survive through time, wars, mishaps, etc. there needed to be enough copies to make up for all those that were lost along the way. So documents had to pass through the same Darwinian survival of the fittest process that the secular world loves so much today.

Finally, once the surviving documents make it down through history to us, and we compare them to extract the most probable reconstruction of the original text, it all comes down to each individual reading it and finding it credible or not.

When I read it, I find it compelling and credible. Others may not.
