Bible Question: How do you know that the Bibles is the word of God? |
Bible Answer: The Old Testament contains some 300 prophecies that were fulfilled perfectly in Jesus Christ. Not one of these prophecies was written any later than 400 years before the advent of Jesus, the promised Messiah, and some of them predated His birth by a thousand years. Statisticians estimate that the odds against a charlatan being able to rig all these Old Testament prophecies are so astronomically high as to make it a statistical impossibility. Thus, the fulfilled Messianic prophecies not only attest to the divine inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture but to the unimpeachable reality that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Savior, the Son of God. There are, of course, many other powerful witnesses, internal and external, that the Bible is the word of God, a number of which have been displayed on this thread by other Forum users. ...... I'd sooner argue the case that water isn't wet than to try to prepare an argument that the Bible is not the word of God. --Hank |
