Can we trust the bible, why is the bible true, Is the bible the word of God? These are issues that need reply by believers and non Christians globally. Is the bible the word of God? Let’s look at some proofs to verify these.
Over the years, bible critics and many theorists have tried to decode the genuineness of the bible as the word of God.
We’ve heard of folks over the decade that burnt large quantity of the bible. Some have float millions of copies of the bible stating it as false.
Similarly, there have been bible researchers who have spent time studying the scriptures to really appreciate its true value.
The bible is the inspired word of God
The bible has these to say about itself in 2Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”
Christianity is not a blind faith. It is the only religion that can prove itself, and a main source of that proof is the Bible.
Proof of Bible prediction
The strongest controversy for the accuracy of the Bible is its 100% accuracy in forecasting the future. These predictions are also called “prophecies.” The Old Testament was written between 1450 BC and 430 BC. During this time, many forecasting of the things to come were recorded in the Bible by God’s prophets. Every one happened just the way they predicted it. No other sacred writing has such perfectly accurate predictions of the future.
The Messianic prediction
Of the messianic prophecies, the most striking examples are the predictions about an “Jesus Christ” (“Messiah” in Hebrew) who was to arrive in the future.
Substantial Evidence
Both the Old Testament and New Testament are robustly supported by document proof and hand written copies. The famous Dead Sea Scrolls are one example of the Old Testament evidence.
We said earlier that the bible is the inspired word of God and when spoken against sinners, it has the power to convict and bring to repentance. You see people trooping forward. All these are evidence that the bible is the word of God.
