Bible Question:
what evidence do we have that the bible really came from God? |
Bible Answer: Patipati, This is meant to go together with the answer Ed gave you. Your answer ultimately lies in what previous people have called the "self attesting" nature of scripture. What they mean by that is that Scripture's divine authorship just sort of shines through it. As we read it, we become persuaded that it is indeed from God and not man. One good scripture depicting this is Jeremiah 23:25-29. Here God declares his own word to be self evidently different from the "dreams" of the prophets. Now we still rely upon God to give us the eyes to see the divine nature of scripture. Many read scripture and are left blind to its self evidence of being divinely inspired. So we completely depend upon God to graciously grant it, but at the same time, once it has been granted we declare the evidence to be the scripture itself, not something else. I hope this was helpful. In Christ, Beja |
