Prove the Bible wasnt written entirely by men.

Prove the Bible wasnt a scare tactic to get people to follow rules so they wouldnt start an uprisal.

Read this quote from a bible study:
"""
The Accuracy Of Scripture is UnMatched Part I

The word of God is infallable. Every phrase, and each fact are directly revealed by The Holy Spirit

Gods word confirms this many times

1 Thessalonians 2:13-16
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The above verses speak for themselves, and are not subject to change.
God, is as he states able to preserve his word. This is a fact, which I will document below

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

and again

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Why is it so important that God preserves his word? There are several reasons. One of which, is that through them comes salvation. I will document this below

John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

and again

How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The word of God is also the Sword of the Believer

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

and again

Eph 6:17 - And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

We can therefore conclude that the Bible is

the word of God

Will stand forever

Will be preserved By God

Is the Living Weopon of the Believer

Is not subject to private interpretation

Is the medium through which faith in Jesus Christ, and saving from eternal damnation takes place

Finally, Jesus himself states the following of what happens to anyone who adds to his word

Re 22:18 - For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book """

You cannot prove anything about how the bible was written, who wrote it and if they were unstable BY QUOTEING THE GOD DAMN BIBLE!!!

And sorry Camfu, it didnt understand.

Joeiss · 10-03-2004, 03:11 PM

The Bible is our proof. I do not think you understand that.

Canyarion · 10-03-2004, 03:31 PM

Perhaps the bible in itself is proof enough for those who believe, but there are proofs outside the bible.

Didn't they recently discover that Jesus really lived? They found the tomb of his brother where it said 'XXXX, brother of Jesus'. In that time, you NEVER tell who your brother was. There was no point, unless he was a VERY special person.

Anyway, I don't need THAT proof. But a lot of things are happening that the bible predicted.

Like the prophecy of Daniel, where he actually foretold the shifts of power in like the 14th century. About how Brittain, France and Holland are big sea powers but are defeated by Spain or something.
I don't really know it by heart, but it's REALLY interesting what they wrote about our time.

Or the prophecy about Greece (a goat I think), Alexander the Great (the big horn), that died and was replaced by 3 generals (3 smaller horns in its place). That can't be coincidence IMO.

One of the most famous prophecies is the one about Babylon, the city that couldn't be taken. The bible foretold it 200 years earlier, and how!
That's like telling how the US will be defeated in 200 years, you just try it.

And just one person gets the chance to put it into a holy book...

I believe.

I never said anywhere Jesus never existed. In fact, i do believe he did. I just dont believe he performed the miricles stated.

I like the fact that you only replied to that part. My post was 5 times longer.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to 'win' from you, or to convert you, I'm just pointing out interesting things.

Things worth pondering about...
