Bible Question:
In response to the answer to this question, I just wanted to ask what someone today asked me. How do you respond when someone says "but who says the Bible is the truth? What about the Koran etc.? Why sould I believe the Bible?" After all, you are quoting scriptures to this person. If they dont believe in the Bible, what then? I always tell them that if they want to know the truth, to seek God, he will reveal the truth to them, then they can read all the other books and see which one is true. |
Bible Answer: You are correct, God reveals the truth of the Bible to His Children. Sometimes, people who say they do not know (believe) the Bible is true also claim that Christians cannot gain any knowledge from God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. When discussing this issue with a nonbeliever, never let a nonbeliever tell you how you can know the truth. If you let a nonbeliever define “how people know facts,” they will use a method of “how we know” that automatically prevents you from using knowledge gained from God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. How people can know the truth is the subject of your post. And you gave the answer that the Bible gives. God in heaven shows us that His word is the truth. He has been doing that since humans first lived on the earth. |
