Bible Question:
"Since it was 'physically' written by sinful man, how could the Bible be perfect?" The above question was originally asked by Mommapbs. (ID# 54013 Note Acts 10:48 Mommapbs Thu 07/11/02, 9:51am) |
Bible Answer: Amos 3:7 shows that God revealed Himself to the prophets 2 Peter 1:20-21 says that the Bible is not man's will or interpretation, but God's will 2 Tim 3:16,17 states that the Holy Spirit inspired the prophets, that all the books are God-breathed further points: a) although the Bible is written by 40 prophets over a span of about 1100 years, It is united and doesn't contradict Itself (pretty amazing stuff!) b) today's versions compared to actual writings have no additions or subtractions c) historical finds and current events prove the truth and accuracy of the Bible (I'm not saying all current events are in the Bible) d) our understanding of the Bible increases as we study It, but we cannot understand It if we do not ask the Holy Spirit to reveal God's truths; nothing is hidden, but sin blinds us to the truth (Voice of Prophesy Devotional Study, 26 lessons, the above is a synopsis of # 2 or # 3) In addition to the points above, please also think about this: if God didn't write (or inspire) the Bible, then the 'logical' conclusion is that God isn't big enough, strong enough, or just plain 'enough' to make sure His words and truths are imparted to all of us. If one believes that man interpreted, it follows that one doesn't believe God isn't when in fact He says "I AM." In Christ... |
