All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking. correcting and training in righteousness - 2 Timothy 3:16
Above all, you
must understand that no prophecy in Scriptures came from the
prophets themselves or because they wanted to prophesy. It was the
Holy Spirit who moved the prophets to speak from God -
1 Peter 1:21
Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are
those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is
near. - Revelation 1:3
To defend Christianity one
must defend the belief Jesus Christ was in fact the Son of God. To
defend the belief Jesus Christ was the Son of God one must defend
the primary source that makes the claim. The primary source
stating this is the Bible. As Christians we believe the Bible is
in fact the Word of God Himself. However there are those who
dispute the Bible as being the Word of God and its authenticity
regardless of its original source. Several of the arguments
to deny the Bible are below. I'll attempt to answer some FAQ and
defend some of the claims Christians make in regards to the Bible being the Word
of God.
First some disclaimers. This is an on going project. I'll add material as I
assemble it and the format will take on various appearances as I am additionally
able to incorporate the material into a organized web format. Eventually I hope
to have a fair amount of material to at least build a peak of curiosity for
those who feel the Bible is Not the Word of God in whole and or part. I hope
also to provide information for those who do believe the Bible is in fact the
Word of God but would like to improve their defense of the Bible. Finally I'm am
not a Bible scholar myself but rather a Christian who has seen enough evidence
to believe the Bible is in deed the Word of God, but hopes to only do as the
Bible tells me in 1 Peter 3:15
Always be prepared to give
an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you
have.
