Establishing The Validity Of The Bible!

Last month I posted a poll (Which 6 people answered. common!! We can do better than that!). Out of those 6 people, 4 said that they believed the bible, 1 said they didn't, and 1 answered 'None of the Above.' Here's the deal.... the validity of the bible isn't that hard to establish (it's really the interpretation of the book that is hard).

First off, the bible's writers claim REPEATEDLY that the words they wrote came from the divine inspiration of God (which is completely infallible). There were around 40 men who wrote the book together, they all lived in different eras, they all claim to have gotten their inspiration from God, and all the books fit together!

For a writer to claim that he's gotten divine inspiration is HUGE all by itself, however, when you look at the facts above you can't deny it.... the bible is FACT!

Lets just assume for a moment that the bible isn't true. That would mean that those 40 men were either lying, insane, or both!


"But, on the other hand, if the greatest and most influential book of the ages, containing the most beautiful literature and the most perfect moral code ever devised, was written by deceiving fanatics, then what hope is there for ever finding meaning and purpose in this world?"

HUNDREDS of biblical prophecies have been fulfilled! In order for something to be a prophecy it has to be specific, and happen a long while AFTER the prophecy is given. There is a notion that all biblical prophecies were obvious..... things that anyone could have said. That simply isn't true! Many of the prophecies written in the bible were fulfilled long after the writer was dead.

"For example, Daniel the prophet predicted in about 538 BC (Daniel 9:24-27) that Christ would come as Israel's promised Savior and Prince 483 years after the Persian emperor would give the Jews authority to rebuild Jerusalem, which was then in ruins. This was clearly and definitely fulfilled, hundreds of years later."

The validity of the bible shouldn't be in dispute! It is a book of true FACTS! NOT fairy tails! Remember that!

Homosexuality? What's the world coming to?

I have been watching the news and several states have now legalized gay marriage. This is unacceptable and disgusting. The bible clearly states that marriage is to be set out as one man and one woman, Why do some people defile themselves by marrying people of the same sex.

Leviticus 18:22: “Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.

A child needs a parent of both genders to help him/her in life as only a mother AND a father can.

Matthew 19:4-6: “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

If you deprive yourself of the relationship that God intended for you, than you will still have a significant hole in your heart that only your other half can fill.

If you don't know God than there is another hole in your heart, but that's another story. Maybe I'll blog about that later in time.
