Give me 1 example.
Give me examples of supposedly accurate predictions the Bible made. You made the claim that it has made accurate predictions, yet you have not defended that at all. The burden of proof currently rests on you.

(I edited the Last post, so you may have missed the edit, by the way.)

Yup, I missed the edit.
And I don't just "blindly" accept what the Bible says. I didn't just read the Bible and say, "hey, this sounds good, I'm going to believe this." I had to prove to myself that what I was reading was correct. I did, and still do, much study and research in order to continue proving to myself that what I believe is in fact the truth.

I can give you lots of examples.
Just to list a couple:
When man believe that the world was flat, the Bible clearly stated it was round. (Not a issue of prediction but showing how if man would have looked into the Bible before thinking the world was flat, they would've realized it wasn't.)

It was foretold that Jerusalem would be destroyed in one night by the Babylon army, those that survived would be carried off into exile for 70 years and then return to their homeland to restore their city. This in fact did happen.

It was foretold that the Messiah (Jesus) would come through the line of David. If you look at Jesus' liniage you will find that he did indeed come through the line of David.

These are but a few examples to back up what I'm saying. I shift the burden of proof over to you.

Aloofi, I am very much aware of "Post-dition" and "pre-diction," and the Bible is not a book of post-diction. It was written well over 2000 years ago and has not been changed one bit.
