Why I Believe The Bible is True

2 Peter 1:20-21 (NIV)20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.


I'm reading some of your comments right now. I know what you are thinking. "You can't prove the Bible by using Bible Verses. Are you aware that the Bible was written over a 1,500 year time span, by over 40 authors from all walks of life. Some of them were kings, peasants, military, poets, musicians, scholars, and philosophers.

These people wrote the Bible from different places. Moses was in the wilderness. Paul was in a prison cell. The Bible was written in three languages – Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic.

They wrote about hundreds of controversial subjects including marriage, divorce, adultery, homosexuality, parenting, and God.

With all of that time and diversity they all agreed on one unfolding story. "The redemption of human beings."

Let's take your field of choice - medicine, construction, leadership, parenting, etc. If you were to take 10 author's over a period of 10 years. Do you know how many different opinions there would be? That's right! Many!

This is one reason why I believe that the Bible is the inspired - "God Breathed" Word of God.

Why do you believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God - Comment Below!

I recently attended a seminar conducted by one of the foremost respected leaders in textual criticsim. The title of his presentation was "Is What We Have Now What They Wrote Then?" In a word or two, "yes!" In fact scholars in textual criticism guarantee that we have an 99% historically accuate transmission of the New Testament. In his book "Reinventing Jesus" (pgs 6-60) author, Dr. Dan Wallace (who also led the above referenced seminar) states: "The issues that textual critics face are, frankly, of such small importance to most other New Testament scholars that the latter often assume that there is nothing left to do in the discipline." In other words, what we have now IS what they wrote then!!
