1 | who wrote the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Leroy | 16706 | ||
My fellow Marines ask me, "since you are such a believer Leroy, can you tell me who wrote the bible". They ask a lot of questions that faith really has to answer. Who wrote the bible? They always say a man wrote the bible. |

2 | who wrote the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Jensen | 16707 | ||
For you Leroy, 2 Timothy 3:16 should be sufficient. But for unbelievers you can not give that answer since the Bible can not testify concerning itself to anyone who does not believe the Bible in the first place. Do you understand what I mean? The Bible was indeed written by men so they are right. Several men in fact. So how do you approach your brothers in arms in a way that will lead to a presentation of the Gospel. You are trying to "Win a Soul" to Christ, are you not? God will use you in this and His Spirit will prompt you all the way. You may already know that there are over 1300 prophecies in the old testament that have come to pass. Some prophecies were made hundreds of years before they came to pass. Your approach then may be to open a discussion concerning Nostrodamus(sp?) or Jean Dixon. "What do you think about Nostrodamus and some of the things he predicted?" may be an opening question. "How do you think they knew these things?" may serve as a follow up question. They may even talk about someone else who claimed to know future world events. That would be good. Let them run with it. You should know that many, if not most of the predictions by people like Nostro and Dixon were false. Flat out wrong. With a little effort on your part, and this web site, you should be able to demonstrate that eventhough the Bible was written by men, just as they say, these men must have had some "supernatural" help in order for every single prophecy to be accurate (not considering those that still are pending like the end times etc.) Once they agree, and they will, that there must have been some supernatural help you can then ask "If you died now, do you know that you would go to heaven?", and then, "Would you like to know?" and so on. Your focus should not be on anything that does not lead to a presentation of the "Good News". If you would like to have a "road map" to take them through some Bible verses please let me know. I pray for you even now that God will pour out His blessings on you and that He will guide you in your most important quest. In the Creator's Service, Jim |

3 | who wrote the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | stew | 16719 | ||
jim's answer is cool but having been a "jarhead" myself i think leroy needs a "simplified" answer. "They always say a man wrote the bible."..not true ! there were over 40 men who were inspired to write. http://netministries.org/bbasics/bbasics.html..this website is great for breaking down the bible...but basically over 40 different writers over 1500 years on 3 different continents using 3 different languages(hebrew, aramaic, and greek) wrote what has now become our bible...remember in old testament times the sacred scrolls that kept the scriptures were not in the same order that we have today, you even see refrences to other books of hebrew history in kings and chronicles...Jesus refered to the "old testament" quite often...the new testament and The word 'testament' literally means 'something that serves as proof' or 'a personal witness either verbally or written'. the new testament is a series of letters or epistles and of course the gospels and the historical book of acts and the prophectic revelation.. i think the simple answer after you hit'em with the facts is...my fellow marine the bible took over 1500 years to write i can't give you a fifteen second explanation. however if you'd like know more follow me as i dig deeper...or you can just dig deeper and then hit'em with it:-) in Christ kyle |
