johnboy36: Then suppose you tell us how Jesus has managed to hover in the clouds a few feet off the ground for nearly 2,000 years. Sonny boy, we're talking about the Son of God here, not a Space Cadet from Nazareth. You may not be willing to accept the biblical account of Christ's ascension. That is up to you. But then we on Study Bible Forum are not willing to accept all this far-out hogwash about clouds and water vapor and Jesus having hardly been able to leave the earth at all. Please stick to Scripture; human theories and speculations are not acceptable on SBF. Are you a child? --Hank | ||||||

Hi thanks for answering, yes I am still at school. I am struggling to understand the contradictive information in my two study books, the scientific book I am reading has many useful diagrams and proofs relating to the claims it makes where as the bible seems to make statements with no real evidence to back them up. | ||||||

Hello johnboy, There's an old saying that goes: when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Science does not have all the answers. For instance, you cannot prove "scientifically" that you were born because it cannot be replicated! Does that mean you don't exist? Of course not. There is ample historical and manuscript evidence to support the veracity of the Bible! Since the Bible deals with the supernatural it requires an element of faith. But, that "faith" is founded on fact. You might start with "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell which convincingly documents with solid proofs that you seek. Also, "Faith Founded on Fact" by John Warwick Montgomery is an excellent resource that I recommend. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear Brother Brad, Your response reminded me of something I read recently written by a fellow Baptist quite some time ago. "The inspired writers learned many things by observation or inquiry, but they were preserved by the Holy Spirit from error whether in learning or in writing these things. ... Those who concede errors in the Scriptures as to matter of fact, in order to remove conflict with some scientific opinions of our time, may tell us that they have great satisfaction in being at peace with science. But there are two drawbacks upon such a peace. It is the peace of sheer submission. ... And it is only a partial and temporary peace. Other scientific men at once make still further demands, tending ever toward the complete abandonment of the supernatural. ... If we assume that the inspiration of the Bible is only partial where are we to stop? Every man must then select adlibitum what portions of the Bible's teachings he will accept as true." --John A. Broadus (1893) In Him, Doc |
