The only evidence I can see is by discerning of spirits, which is a gift of the Holy Spirit. Some, having been given this gift, receive a witness in themselves if something being said is from the Spirit. Gods Spirit in them confirms the truth of what is being said. I don't really know much about it though. Just that God sometimes confirms to me and I feel it more so than I hear anything.
Yes. I've thought a lot about this. It does happen that people say God told them opposing things. It's nothing new. It happened in the OT. Men opposing a man who had heard from the Spirit and saying that God was going to give them victory when He wasn't going to, etc. Maybe it would take three witnesses with the gift of discernment to agree to be most secure in it. Because it's very easy to add your own speculations and then it becomes saying MORE than what was confirmed by the Spirit as truth. It's easy to do if you aren't very careful.
Example 1 - 9 is the biblical number for fruit bearing. 9 months a woman bears the fruit of the womb. When a person gets saved the Holy Ghost causes us to bear 9 fruits. "Holy Ghost" is found (9)0 times in the KJV.
Example 2 - 46 is the number for human DNA. The temple was 46 years in building but Christ spoke of the 46 chromosomes of his body. In the KJV the serpent spoke exactly 46 words to Eve in the garden.
These patterns are found all over the KJV, that's proof of divine inspiration in my opinion, I don't think man is capable of accomplishing that.

A lot of people contributed to the writing of the Bible, centuries ago. And today many people try to translate the Bible. I don't think you are going to find one perfect Bible. Some might be better than others. Probably most are pretty good. Maybe, in the end, we need to perfect our judgment to determine what is right and what is wrong.
I actually like having more than one translation. Sometimes I look up a verse in a different translation than the one I am currently hot on and see something I never noted before. Because it's worded slightly differently, it gives a new perspective and a verse I glossed over for years just pops out very starkly!
