The Word of God: Evidence that Scripture is Divine...............


First, I believe the Bible is the Word of God because of its scientific accuracy. The Truth of the Word of God tells us that God “hangeth the earth upon nothing” (Job 26:7). How did Job know that the earth hung in space before the age of modern astronomy and space travel? The Holy Spirit told him. The scientists of Isaiah’s day didn’t know the topography of the earth, but Isaiah said, “It is that sitteth upon the circle of the earth” (Isaiah 40:22). The word for “circle” here means a globe or sphere. How did Isaiah know that God says upon the circle of the earth? By divine inspiration.

Secondly, the Bible is affirmed through historical accuracy. Do you remember the story about the handwriting on the wall that is found in the fifth chapter of Daniel? Belshazzar hosted a feast with a thousand of his lords and ladies. Suddenly, a gruesome hand appeared out of nowhere and began to write on a wall. The king was disturbed and asked for someone to interpret the writing. Daniel was found and gave the interpretation. After the interpretation, “Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.” (Daniel 5:29). Basing their opinion on Babylonian records, the historians claim this never happened. According to the records, the last king of Babylon was not Belshazzar, but a man named Nabonidas. And so, they said, the Bible is in error. There wasn’t a record of a king named Belshazzar. Well, the spades of archeologists continued to do their work. In 1853, an inscription was found on a cornerstone of a temple built by Nabonidas, to the god Ur, which read: “May I, Nabonidas, king of Babylon, not sin against thee. And may reverence for thee dwell in the heart of Belshazzar, my first-born favorite son.” From other inscriptions, it was learned that Belshazzar and Nabonidas were co-regents. Nabonidas traveled while Belshazzar stayed home to run the kingdom. Now that we know that Belshazzar and Nabonidas were co-regents, it makes sense that Belshazzar would say that Daniel would be the third ruler. What a marvelous nugget of truth tucked away in the Word of God!
Third, from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reads as one book. And there is incredible unity to the Bible. The Bible is one book, and yet it is made up of 66 books, was written by at least 40 different authors over a period of about 1600 years, in 13 different countries and on three different continents. It was written in at least three different languages by people in all professions. The Bible forms one beautiful temple of truth that does not contradict itself theologically, morally, ethically, doctrinally, scientifically, historically, or in any other way.

Fourth, did you know the Bible is the only book in the world that has accurate prophecy? When you read the prophecies of the Bible, you simply have to stand back in awe. There are over 300 precise prophecies that deal with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament that are fulfilled in the New Testament. To say that these are fulfilled by chance is an astronomical impossibility.

Finally, the Bible is not a book of the month, but the Book of the ages. First Peter 1:25 says: “But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” No book has ever had as much opposition as the Bible. Men have laughed at it, scorned it, burned it, ridiculed it, and made laws against it. But the Word of God has survived. And it is applicable today as much as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow.

As evidence, Jenny, I don't think it would stand up in court. dunno
I'm sorry, Jenny, just delete me. It's none of my business what you believe. sad flower
Harbal remember this if nothing else............No matter, your at times flippant remarks, God loves you anyway. Does it matter that you do not love Him? No it does not, as God's love is unconditional.

Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord
Trouble with this scripture is Harbal, when this comes to pass and it will, it is a proficy,
it will be too late then.................peace
I'm afraid my scepticism is also unconditional, Jenny, I am not open to persuasion. I do think that proselytising is wrong, but I wouldn't want to interfere with your beliefs, even if I could.
Harbal it is your choice and yours alone
I don't get brawny points for telling people about God etc. I do it because I care............
It is really the command of every Christian to tell the Good News.

Go ye into all the world to teach the Gospel, you thought this was only for missionaries?


Harbal since you don't want to hear about God, why do you go there, like in Stringman's or now mine, blogs
why not simple skip it and move on?
Because I still can't help but be aware of it, and it concerns me that people with beliefs such as yours and strings feel they have a right to spread them to others. I have got grandchildren, and it worries me that they could be influenced by this sort of propagation while they are at an impressionable age. I do actually think that is unlikely, but the principle is still there. I am not suggesting that you or string would be the actual ones to fill their heads with this stuff, of course. Anyway, I'll do my best to stay away, for my own sake as much as yours. sad flower
Harbal, String nor I, could possible be a threat to anyone. Somewhere else? but that is not where we are.
It is clear that the subject shows what we are about so many skip it and yes maybe you should do the same
You may feel better and even may live longer. (not getting a heart attack) Bye Harbal peace
What's strange, according to studies, it's in our DNA. Ancient Text Reveals Hidden Message in Human DNA ... This is from the video Gregg Baden.. Scientists Found Proof of God in DNA Code - Human Genome Message Shows Evidence of Existence of God... MESSAGE OF THE GENOME .."GOD ETERNAL WITHIN THE BODY".! Watch the vid...teddybear hug
