The Bible.
The most abused book in the world. The most powerful book in the world. The perfect, living book.
The most common objection I hear concerning the Bible is that it cannot be trusted as God's word, as it is written by man and everyone knows man make mistakes.
Well in actual fact it was written through men, by God. 2 Peter 1:21 states "for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."
The Bible in 2 Timothy 3:16 tell us that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God". Inspired can be translated into, God breathed, God breathed out the scripture. He used men as a tool to convey His thoughts and ideas, His truth in the Bible.
If you read the Bible solely as a history book you will see that it is all true. The Bible has many prophecies. It predicts the future and is always accurate. In Psalm 22 written 1000 BC, in verse 16 it says "For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." It predicts how Jesus died and what the apostles would do with His clothes, to the detail. They gambled them.
A few other prophecies of Jesus Christ.
Born of a virgin. - Isaiah 7:14
He would be preceded by a Messenger. (John the Baptist)- Isaiah 40:3
Rejected by His own people. - Isaiah 53:3
Betrayed by a close friend. (Judas)- Isaiah 41:9
I do not belong to any 'denomination'. I belong to God and I follow His living word. I desire Him, not heaven. Christianity, biblical Christianity is not a 'religion' either. Religion offers slavery. Redemption offers Freedom. Religion is laws and practice, a 'I have to do this or I'll go to hell attitude', work's salvation which the Catholic religion holds dear to, and is bluntly said, heretical. I follow the Bible and what God teaches in it, as it His word and I desire Him, I want to see His glory known. I want to please God.
As Ezekiel 36:26-27 says "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them." that happened to me in February of last year.
He saved me and is The Lord of my life.
By the grace of God I am willing to answer questions on your complete disregard of the Bible and any doubts of it as best I can.Edited once, 5/1/11 - 4:45pm.
