![WHY DO ONLY 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [4 of 4]
Then there's this important fact about the rock solid credibility of the Bible: Scripture was written over a period of 1500 years, through 40 generations, by 40 authors from every walk of life, including kings, peasants, philosophers, fisherman, poets, statesmen, etc. Before getting saved, I used to say the Bible was whipped up by men. But even on his best day, man could never put together something like the Bible. The writers didn't even know each other so how can critics claim they conspired? The diverse authors to the Bible were from all over the spectrum: Moses, was a political leader; Peter, a Fisherman; Amos, a herdsman; Joshua, a military general; Nehemiah, a cup bearer; Daniel, a prime minister; Luke, a doctor; Solomon, a King; Matthew, a tax collector; and Paul was a rabbi. Scripture was written in all kind of places: the wilderness, a dungeon, on a hillside, in a palace and a prison, while traveling, on the Island of Patmos by John, and during military campaigns. The last one of course was at a time of war but the Bible was also put down on paper in times of peace. So there were many different moods of the authors, from the heights of joy to the depths of despair and sorrow. On top of all that, Scripture was written on three continents (Asia, Africa and Europe) in three languages (Hebrew, Koine Greek, and a small part, Aramaic). With those aspects of the Bible in mind, here are the mind-blowers: Never once does the Bible contradict itself and it gives the same message throughout the Old and New Testament. So I'll say it again: Even on their best day, there's NO WAY mankind could ever whip up something like that. The Bible is

Christians can fully bank on the Bible, knowing it's exactly what God laid out for us as the only way that contains all truth, as well as the correct history and future. Contrary to that solid foundation for life, involving a relationship with Jesus, religions and cults just prescribe rituals, donations, worship of different entities, mantras, sacrifices, and other works of that nature. But those don't reveal ultimate knowledge because only the Bible can do that. Of course the Bible has skeptics so let’s look at the evidence: Skeptics say we can’t trust that it was Moses, around 1445 B.C., who wrote about the Garden of Eden in Genesis. However, with all due respect, that's the importance of genealogies. With the Bible, we can look at the lives of just three men in Genesis 10, who together cover the first 2157 years of mankind. How could that time period be so long? Of course it's because man had a longer life span at the beginning and that's not just some spiritualization of the Genesis text. We even know it’s scientifically possible, as we dealt with in detail through our study, "In the Days of Noah," as part of our "Creation Series." So, the history being repeated in the Bible is from only three guys, who knew each other for a long, long time. It wasn't just some weekend conference where

A second testament to the veracity of the Bible is the Jewish copy methods, including the writing of doctrine on surfaces that would last; like the skins of clean animals, pottery, and sometimes even copper scrolls. And by the way, in God's sovereign plan, a lot of these items were stored in the desert where the 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 a product with the exact same number of lines and columns throughout every Bible codex (an ancient text in book form). In fact, it literally involved a mathematical formula, a set mandatory recipe for the ink, they could not write anything from a memory, (including insignificant punctuation), those copying had to sit in full dress, they even washed their whole body over and over again each time they wrote the name of God, and even if a king or other royalty addressed that scribe, he could not acknowledge the noble, which was most likely punishable by death back in those days. So keeping the integrity of the manuscript work was very serious stuff! | image tagged in bible,trust,authority,god,jesus,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/40k29v.jpg)
