Bible Question: is bible real? |
Bible Answer: Sometimes the Bible seems like a fairy tale. The stories of Adam and Eve, of Joseph, and Joshua, of David and Goliath and Daniel in the lion’s den, these may seem like fantastic stories people could have made up. But the Bible deals with places and people that are not only historical but which exist today. Thus, Eden is in Iraq and Jerusalem is where it always was. The Jews are the same people the Bible talks so much about. The street that Jesus walked with his cross and the hill on which he was crucified still exist today. The Bible tells what happened and what will happen, and these can be checked against other sources, including today’s newspapers. More than that, the Bible tells us about ourselves and how our spiritual needs can be met. Act upon the word of God and you experience his promises of forgiveness, and peace. It is a guide for our lives. The Bible is a most realistic and meaningful set of books. |
