Evidence Doesn't Lie

 "The Bible is a letter from God with our personal address on it."

Soren Aabye Kierkegaard

It is amazing to me how many people say the Bible is false. Between manuscripts, archeological finds, non Jewish history writers and so many other things that confirm the Bible is true, people just don't want to believe the Bible. The Bible is certainly truth, pure truth, written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write down God's words.

 

 "I am sorry for men who do not read the Bible every day. I wonder why they deprive themselves of the strength and the pleasure."

Woodrow Wilson, 28th President

 

 

The other day I read this account in one of my books that got me thinking about the evidence discovered about God's Word:

 

"The quantity of New Testament  manuscripts is unparalled in ancient literature. There are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, about 8,000 Latin manuscripts, and another 1,000 manuscripts in other languages . . . In contrast, the typical number of existing manuscript copies for any of the works of the Green and Latin authors, such as Plato, Aristotle, Caesar, or Tacitus, ranges from 1 to 20 . . . more than 40 authors wrote over a span of 1,500 to 1,800 years in three languages on three continents . . . On Scripture readers can find history, biography, letters, parables, prophecies, sermons and more. Despite this diversity, the Bible is a coherent work, unified in theme and purpose." 2nd Timothy 3:16-17, 100 Favorite Bible verses, Lisa Guest

 

A new book cover I made for my Bible last week.

That doesn't even skim the surface of all the evidence regarding the Bible. Down through the ages people have researched the Bible to prove it untrue and walked away with the certainty that it is true. It is joy to the believer and hate to the unbeliever. 

The Bible is an education far and above the smartest college student, the26th president, Theodore Roosevelt said: "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education."

"The Bible redirects my will, cleanses my emotions, enlightens my mind,

 and quickens my total being."

E. Stanley Jones

Don't you be the one who doesn't read the Bible. It will be the difference between life and death.Evidence doesn't lie.

"We find the Bible difficult because we try and read it as we would read any other book, and it is not the same as any other book."

A. W. Tozer
