Bible Question:
Why in these convusing times we live in are we to believe the Bible is really our Creators words, why would'nt or Creator make it obvious so there would be no confussion atleast on that matter? Whats the point of all the mystery? Just confirm to me the Bible is the word of our Creator and would'nt I Love God all the more and not spend all my extra time trying to proof it to myself and others! |
Bible Answer: katebote: Please read carefully and study diligently the following passages of Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 1 Thess. 2:13; Matthew 5:18; John 7:17; Hebrews 4:12; and 2 Timothy 2:15. Scripture itself answers man's questions about its authorship, its power and authority and its endurance for all eterntiy. God has made it abundantly clear that the Bible is His word. The Bible is not shrouded in mystery, is not arcane, and is given to instruct us in His righteousness and teach us His will, not to confuse, confound and befuddle us. ..... If you really would like to dig deeper into this subject, please acquire a copy of Josh McDowell's book, "The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict." It is readily available for under 20 dollars at on-line stores such as Amazon.com and CBD.com., or you can purchase a copy at your neighborhood Bible bookstore. It will answer accurately and in depth the questions you have posed in your post and will, I believe, lead you to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Book of Books, the Bible, God's inerrant and eternal word. ..... Another book that I would recommend to you is "Mere Christianity" by C. S. Lewis. God regenerated this one-time atheist, and he became one of the premier apologists of the Christian faith in modern times. It's an inspiring book to read and has the ability to dispel harboring doubts and turn confusion into positive confession of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Please try the book. And please continue to read and study the Book of God! ..... May your quest for God's eternal truth and good news message bear much fruit and bring the blessings of salvation, abiding hope, and God's peace to your life. Soli Deo gloria! --Hank |
