Is The BIble True?
Is the Bible true, part true, or not true at all?
The Bible says that it is true, but that is a book verifying itself 3800 times. The Quran and the Torah do the same thing.
What makes the Bible believable?
1. Over 40 authors wrote 66 books and different lands and over a period of 1800 years. Many never saw the writings of the others and yet there is no contradictions between any two of them. Collect any group of books by any other 40 men on any subject and see if they agree.
2. Man could not have written it if he would and would not have written it if he could. No critic all scripture has ever been able to improve or disapprove it.
3. Whole kingdoms and religions have sought in vain to destroy it. It is still Victor and indestructible. About 3,300 versus of Prophecy have been fulfilled, predictions made hundreds of even thousands of years before their fulfillment. Not one detail has failed yet. About 2908 versus are being fulfilled and will yet be fulfilled.
4. It is scientifically and historically correct. No one man has ever found the Bible at fault in any of its many hundreds of statements on History, astronomy, botany, geology, or any other branch of learning.
5. It is up to date on any subject, it fits the lives of all people of all ages and all lands.
So since Science, History, and reason concur that the Bible is the inspired word of God what does the Bible say?
