![DO PEOPLE ASK YOU FOR PROOF OF GOD? [3 of 3] Here's another fulfilled prophecy from God: In the book of Ezekiel, Amos predicted the city of Tyre would be attacked by many nations and its fortresses would fail. Also, the remains of the city (stones, timber, and soil) would be thrown into the sea and the leveled city would be used to spread fishing nets. By now you know it happened just that way. Several different nations attempted Tyre's destruction but the people would retreat to their island fortress out in the bay, probably taunting the attackers who could not reach them. Finally Alexander the Great came along, dismantling
the houses and other structures of Tyre, and throwing them into
the sea to make a land bridge out to those people on the island. Would you say the Tyre folks probably stopped taunting Alexander's army by the time they were half way there? So, Alexander the Great wiped the city of Tyre completely clean because the ruins all went into the water to make his land bridge. And do you know what the area of the original city is used for today? It's a flat, barren rock that is used as the perfect place to spread fishing nets. All that is exactly what God predicted, and it was well in advance. Over and over again, God prophesied the rise and fall of nations. And God did these sorts of specific predictions 2500 times in the Bible, with 2000 having already come true.
I mean, give me a break! How much more proof do we need? With
each one, God is telling us, "The Bible came from Me!" | image tagged in god,bible,future,prophecy,truth,heaven | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/59ldx6.jpg)
![DO PEOPLE ASK YOU FOR PROOF OF GOD? [1 of 3] Well, here’s some: how about God's track record with His predictions (prophecies)? I will give you a couple examples but just know that, so far, God has fulfilled over 2000 predictions He made, and we can read about of them in the Bible. In fact, God's predictions aren’t vague like those of psychics. Yet, even with very specific prophecies, God has been 100% correct and His remaining 500 predictions are all lining up right now during these last days before Jesus’s return. In Daniel 2, God predicted the rise of nations, telling us about these four future empires that then came to be and also in the Bible’s historical order: Babylon, Medo-Persian,
Greece, and then Rome. God also predicted the fall of nations. In the Bible's book of Nahum, God predicted Nineveh would be permanently destroyed by fire, easily captured, their army officers would desert, and those officers would even be drunk in their final hours. As specific as God was, of course it happened just that way. Archaeologists have not only discovered Nineveh, but also uncovered a layer of ash in its ruins, showing it was destroyed by fire. Also, ancient Babylonian records reveal how Nineveh was easily overtaken and that their officers fled the scene. Another Greek historian records how the king gave much wine to his soldiers that night, causing them to be drunk.
It was exactly as God said it would be and that prediction
was not your average psychic-type generalized con like,
"You're going to meet someone new.” Yeah, ya think? | image tagged in god,bible,prophecy,truth,death,heaven | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/59ldei.jpg)
![DO PEOPLE ASK YOU FOR PROOF OF GOD? [2 of 3] Here’s another specific prophecy from God that was perfectly fulfilled: The book of Isaiah talks about how Babylon would be overthrown at the hands of Medes, with the gates opened by a guy named Cyrus. And in the end the area would be reduced to swampland. Guess what happened. History shows it was exactly that: the Medes joined up with the Persians to conquer Babylon, despite the incredible defenses, which included Babylon's outer wall being so huge (tall and wide), they would hold chariot races on it. No one should have been able to get into Babylon. Still, God being the ONLY one who knows the future ends from the beginning, history today shows that a guy named Cyrus diverted the flow of the Euphrates River, which had run under the walls of Babylon, marched into the city along the river bed, and archaeological excavations reveal that part of Babylon today cannot be
dug up because it is under water, making it swamp-like. | image tagged in god,bible,prophecy,evidence,truth,eternity | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/59lcvc.jpg)
![SHOULD THE BIBLE BE OUR ONE SOURCE OF
AUTHORITY ON THIS PLANET? YES! And we Christians need to keep that truth! Don't just give the idea lip service, have it on your website, or only make it one more doctrinal statement. Praise God that we can stick to that truth and never be steered wrong. Take it, cherish it, and hold tight to it! Instead of an empty statement, this truth has to drive our behavior. Many people, including professing Christians, do not follow the dictates of the Bible for what they believe and how they behave. Instead, they more value their own personal opinions, as well as those from secular society, the educational system, the media, and their friends. In practice, those are what people really believe in. But all that is just a hodgepodge of everything from a fallen society, rather than taking direction from God's
Word in the Bible. Just keep your path clean and pure with God because
He never gets it wrong. Stick to the Bible as your only source of authority. The sixty-six books of the Bible constitute God's ONLY written revelation to mankind—and if it were possible, we should be emphasizing the importance of that word, ONLY, with exploding fireworks all around it, and huge dragon heads shooting fire at it, just to emphasis the word more. When Joseph Smith, other Mormons, New Agers, Hindus, or anyone, including professing Christians, try to tell you they have a “new revelation,” or new “Word from God” for you, what should be your response? You should firmly respond with something like, No, you do not! The Bible is sufficient for me. "The Bible...is the inspired, verbal [the very words,] plenary [all of the words,] infallible [trustworthy because it is without error in the original manuscripts,] Word of God. The Bible is the sole authority for faith and practice (Matthew 5:18; 22:31-32; Galatians 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21)." Unfortunately, that is not the practice for many professing Christians.
Besides the Bible, there has been no other written revelation given by God. Again,
there IS NO other written revelation from God besides the Bible—period! | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,truth,eternity,death | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/59lbv0.jpg)
![IS THE BIBLE A HISTORICALLY-RELIABLE DOCUMENT? [2 of 2] The second test is the “Internal (Eyewitness) Test," which considers the credibility of the authors and the truthfulness of what was written. Those collaborators for the Bible did not compile it willy nilly. Instead, they asked logical qualifying questions like whether the author of a potential book to be included was an apostle of Christ (spent a lot of time with Jesus), whether a book agreed with the rest of Scripture (God does not lie or contradict Himself), had the book been accepted
by the early Church (they were there at the beginning),
and had it been quoted by the early Church (to have used it,
they must have believed the quote was from God). ; Sir David Dalrymple gathered together the early Church fathers' letters, from which he said he was able to reconstruct the entire New Testament using just quotations (except for only seven verses). An added qualifier they used was whether a book came with the power of God. There is something about reading the one-and-only Bible that just comes up and hits you in the eyes with the power of God. You can't get that from something whipped up by man. So, those are some very effective filters used to give us the Bible through a process that was the opposite of careless, casual, or haphazard. The third test is the “External Test,” which includes historical events, geography, archaeology, and cultural
consistencies; all of which have verified the Bible’s veracity. | image tagged in god,bible,jesus,truth,life,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/577n7g.jpg)
![IS THE BIBLE A HISTORICALLY-RELIABLE DOCUMENT? [1 of 2] There are three tests.
The first is bibliographic, which examines whether the documents we have today are the same as those originally written by the authors. "This test considers the quantity of existing manuscripts and the time between the earliest copies and the originals.” When people try to mock the Bible as untrustworthy, keep this in mind: there are only 49 copies of Aristotle's writings in existence and each is at least 1400 years removed from the original. It get's worse: of the writings of Plato, who used to be my son's favorite philosopher—or maybe that was "Play-Doh”—there are only 7 copies on the planet and they are 1200 years removed from the original. Contrast that with the Bible, of which we
have over 24,000 copies and they're finding more all the time. The earliest of those is only 25 years removed from the original and even from within the lifetime of the actual authors. Yet people don't think to question the authenticity of Aristotle or Plato's writings, while they scoff at the Bible. It makes no sense! And the Bible’s preservation story gets better than 25 years. In the same community where the Old Testament Dead Sea Scrolls, were found, just in the last few years they have actually also found copies of the New Testament books. And if you use the dates people estimate for the writing of New Testament manuscripts, based on what they just found, we now have portions of the Gospel of Mark from within 13 years of being written, portions of Romans from within 11 years, James within 8 years, Acts within 5 years, 1 Timothy within 5 years, and portions 2 Peter from
the exact same year it was estimated to have been written.
Yet people want to mock and scoff at the Bible. Excuse me?!
It just doesn't make sense! THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE
MOST VERIFIED DOCUMENT IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND! | image tagged in bible,truth,god,jesus,life,people | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/577mgh.jpg)
