1 | Is the Scriptures historically reliable? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Makarios | 9608 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, You stated, "Am I correct in saying that though "(t)he Bible was never meant to be, and certainly isn't, a comprehensive history of the world," it is the only history that can be relied upon to be inerrant?" And I am in agreement! I believe that the question is not "Is Scripture historically reliable?"; the question is: "Is history reliable based upon Scripture?" |

2 | Is History Reliable? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Lionstrong | 9618 | ||
Hello, Nolan, ................ I don't understand the question. Do you mean, are historical accounts reliable, or do you mean are historical events reliable, or what? .......... Since God "works all things after the counsel of His will," historical events are what they are because God's plan is what it is, as Cornelius Van Til might have said. ............ We can rely on "each day" of history to "(have) enough trouble of its own." So we don't have to worry about tomorrow. ............. And we can rely on the historical future when Christ returns and with a word from his mouth his enemies are slain and we are resurrected to life eternal. |

5 | Is History Reliable? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Makarios | 9729 | ||
Lionstrong, If you believe that everything in the Bible is true, it is inspired by God and is God's message to man, than everything else has to 'fall in line' with the Bible and what the Bible teaches. Therefore, if history doesn't match up with the Bible, then we should rethink history in relation to the Bible. That is pretty much what I was getting at when I stated that phrase or put the question in that way to you. It is so easy for man to 'explain away' every single little thing and not have a clue as to what everything means in relation to God and His Holy Word. Nolan |
