Subject: How do we know the Bible is the truth? |
Bible Note: Steve, to them... it would be true. Simply because man's perceptions of TRUTH are interpretive unless we have the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit. God the Creator, Jesus is TRUTH. And I don't believe we can come into "all truth" without being born-again by His Spirit. The point I was trying to make was that UNTIL I met Jesus personally, He too was not "real to me", but only a form of religious teaching from an old book. It was after meeting Him and knowing Him that Jesus and the "old book" became alive for me... in my words --- it became "real for me". I said that I agree with all the points previously stated including those you mentioned that "prove" the bible to be true and inspired by God. Yet UNTIL I met the Lord myself, I would not have recognized biblical truth. And since Muslims deny Jesus as the Son of God, they can not have the Lord Himself as their teacher of "all truth". Instead their perception of truth stems from the false teachings in the Koran perpetrated through Mohammad who was only the pawn of mere men. His teachings could not bear up under scrutiny of the Holy Spirit of God. So "if your Muslim friends say the Koran truths are "real" to them, does that make the Koran true?" Of course not. What it does mean is that they are blinded to "all truth" which is only found in Christ Jesus. |
