![WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [3 of 4] Another reason we can trust the Bible is that there are close to 25,000 copies of the New Testament, some from the actual lifetime of the writers. It used to be that the oldest were amazingly within only 25 years of the date written, but now we even have Scripture from the same year the writing was originally created. Those copies are on scrolls that were stored in pottery at Qumran in the Judean Desert, part of Israel’s West Bank. And for some strange reason, that extraordinary historical find gets no attention from the secular media or airtime on the History Channel. Why would
they ignore Old and New Testament materials, especially when
some of the latter is from the same year the original was written. I’ve repeated that twice because it is absolutely phenomenal, and greatly contributes to the unquestionable reliability of the Bible. Now let’s contrast the Bible with similarly ancient writings from Aristotle and Plato—that no one mocks as unverifiable: The Bible has 25,000 copies, some from within the same year as the original, yet people feel free to question the authority and authenticity of Scripture, while the earliest copies of Plato and Aristotle are 1200 and 1400 years removed, respectively, from the originals. And there are only 7 and 49 copies of those works on the whole planet. No one scoffs at the authenticity of those books, while at the
same time they do with the Bible, which is exponentially more
reliable, even if all you look at is the original writings. | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,truth,scripture,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5p544o.jpg)
![WHY DO LESS THAN 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [2 of 4] A second testament to the veracity of the Bible is the Jewish copy methods, including writing on long-lasting surfaces like animal skins, pottery, and even copper scrolls. Through God’s sovereign plan to preserve His Word for future generations, many of these Scriptures were stored in the desert, where extreme dryness greatly facilitated the preservation process. It's almost like God knew what He was doing, right? Also, the Jewish scribes had to produce these Scriptures with the exact same number of lines and
columns throughout every Bible codex (an ancient text in book form). In fact, the process involved a mathematical formula, a mandatory recipe for the ink, and nothing being written from memory—not even insignificant punctuation. The copiers had to sit in full dress and rewash their entire body each time they wrote the name of God. Even if a king or other royalty addressed a scribe doing this sacred work, the copier could not acknowledge that noble, an insubordinate act that was most
likely punishable by death. So, you can see that the integrity of
the manuscript was an extremely serious endeavor. | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,christian,christ,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5p53fo.jpg)
