David: If you are asking if we can know with 100 percent objective certainty that the Bible is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, then the answer is no. That having been said, the evidence does lean heavily in favor of the Bible being an accurate historical record of the events it records. In addition, its internal consistency is second to none, especially considering the 1500-year time span over which it was written. Philosophically speaking, I hold that it is reflects better than any other text what we can observe about humanity's nature. I also hold that unless I had been supernaturally enlightened, I would be rejecting Christianity not on the basis of a lack of evidence, but due to a will which wanted nothing to do with the God of the universe or Jesus Christ. For a more detailed account of why we can trust the Bible, I would recommend that you start with a book entitled "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel. It is very readable and provides fascinating evidence for the historicity of the resurrection as depicted in the Bible (and if the Bible is right on something as big as THAT, then incredulity must fade a little regarding other parts of it as well). Thanks for asking! --Joe! |

Joe- Another book that can be received free over the internet is "More Than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell. I guess this is only available if you live in the U.S. He wasn't convinced and looked for evidence that scripture concerning Christ was either true or false. This is a small book but filled with so much information. I don't know the address off hand, but if you search over the net, you will find it. Debbie |
