ABOUT SCRIPTURE

IF THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD?

 

During its existence, the Bible has been subjected to scrutiny and attack enemies.

At times the Bible appears to the observer as a pieces cuted, rejected and, probably, destroyed. But really, any attack on her, she shows the hard granite stone, a sort of Anvil, which are broken down into hundreds of hammers, not causing it substantial harm.

The Bible - the most common book. Every year, it is published (fully or partially) a circulation of 25 million copies. And no wonder, because IT RESPONDS to ALL QUESTIONS and satisfies the DEEPEST SPIRITUAL NEEDS of man.

Only the Bible allows us to know who created the world from whom came people, for which we're living, what are looking for hope and comfort that will be in the future.

 

Dostoyevsky said:

Lord, that for this book-Scripture! What a miracle and what strength, with her man!

 

Jaded life harsh,

More than once I found myself

In the eternal words of verbs

The source of peace and strength.

How to breathe, the Saints and the sounds

The divine feeling of love,

And the heart preoccupying a husband

As soon humble they are!

How sweet to read these lines,

Reading, praying in silence,

And cry and draw lessons

Of them for the mind and soul!

N. Nikitin

 

The Origin of the bible

It was written for nearly 2000 years. Its 66 books (39 and 27) written by people of various social groups: shepherds, fishermen, craftsmen, teachers, preachers, doctors and Government officials. It they are in complete harmony and not have conflicted contradictions.

Thus, the true author of the Bible is God ( Hebrews 1.1-2, 2 Peter 1.20-21 ).

The spirit of the Lord spoke to me, and his word in the language I have.

2 Sam  23.2

Thou led me, o Lord, and I fell; You're stronger than me - and the voices, and I have every day, every one mocketh mocks to me. Because only start talking I - scream about violence, shout of ruin because the word of the Lord had blasphemed me and the daily ridicule. And I thought: "I will not remind you about it and won't be more said to in his name; BUT IT was in MY HEART as a BURNING fire, signed - in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not".

Jeremiah 20.7-9

Consequently, the prophets COULD NOT SPEAK or WRITE Tog, that they were suggestive and the spirit of God.

The texts of John 12.4-9 and Luke 4.18, the words of Christ and God the father are the same, and that in Christ demonstrated the influence of the Holy Spirit, who, according to John 14.26 and 16.13 is the Comforter and mentor.

The Revelation Of Jesus Christ. What you see, write in a book and went to the churches.

Rev. 1.1, 11

So, God is the author of the Bible, and its writers have expressed THEIR THOUGHTS, but those that were INFUSED by the SPIRIT of God.

The appointment of Bible

She needs a man, because every word it contains great spiritual wealth ( 2 Tim 3.16-17 ).

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Luke 4.4

As food is necessary for maintaining the life of the body and the word of God is necessary to sustain life, spiritual.

Written to us in the manual to the patience and comfort of the Scriptures kept the hope.

Romans 15.4

We are not in a position to YOUR MIND to DETERMINE the TRUTH or LIES-ness of the teachings or the opinions of people, so WE TAKE the WORD of GOD AS the ONLY SOURCE of faith and LIFE :

SIGN lies: "To the law and to the testimony. If they (people) do not speak according to this word, then there is no light in them" ( Is 8.20 ).

SIGN of truth: "Thy Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" ( Ps 118.105 ) .

The purpose of God's Word, therefore, is the following :

Sanctify them through thy truth; your Word is truth.

John 17.17

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8.32

The main contents of Bible

The majestic figure of both old and New Testament is Christ himself. The main theme of the plan of salvation.

To this - the rescue included a survey and study of the prophets, that predictability of the Bay by grace, to search, and at what time point is the Spirit of Christ, when he geralded Christ's suffering and their subsequent fame. They discovered it was not them, but us was the fact that now  preached by the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven, that wish to penetrate the angels.

1 Peter 1.10-12

Jesus was saying that Scripture (at that time - the old testament) show it ( Luke 24.25-27, 44-45 ).  Rising and stood by his disciples, he said he talked about It the prophets. On these prophecies talked of the Apostles ( Acts 10.43 ).

If you were the children of Abraham, Abraham's case would. And now you seek to kill me, a man that said you the truth that I heard from God: Abraham did not.

John 8.39-40

But did you know the Scriptures from childhood that can give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

2 Tim 3.15

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will save heart through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4.7

So, the main purpose of the Bible lead us to Jesus Christ as Savior, the light and the sense of life, free from evil and sin. Consolation in sadness and perfect JOY, forgiveness of sin and the hope of eternal life.

BIBLE AND SCIENCE

 

The current state of science is POWERLESS because it DOES NOT KNOW the answers to the most important questions :

- Is there a God?

- Why do we live?

- Are we really?

- Can we do anything to know?

Thus, we, the people, like ancient Israel, descended below the animals:

The ox knows its owner, and the ass his master's crib, but Israel does not know me, my people do not understand.

Isaiah 1.3

Blaise Pascal said :

The most common phenomenon of our time - see what people consider themselves scientists, educated and enlightened by knowing countless unnecessary things stays in the gross ignorance. Not only do they not know the meaning of their lives, but even proud of this ignorance.

Conversely, the least common among the uneducated and  truly enlightened people, knowing the MEANING of HIS LIFE and PROUD of it.

 

Two directions in science :

       TRUE ( Rome 1.20 )                                                         FALSE ( 2.8 ) 

Experienced, that is based only on the                            Theoretical (not founded

experience this (practice) and previous                            experience)

future (theory)

 

Based on the knowledge of the Earth and the sky,          Based only on theoretical

to study and understand the laws of                                 reasoning, which are often

nature                                                                                are wrong

 

The Bible only briefly for provisions, since its main purpose is to TEACH PEOPLE the RULES of LIFE and the WAY of SALVATION FROM SIN and evil. Where the Bible with regard to questions of the universe and of history, she discovers his truthfulness.

In particular, it confirms the story of the creation of the world  ( Gen 1.1-27 )  :

1. We find in science and the Bible the same Kingdom (minerals, plants, animals), not taking into account some minor details.

2. The chronological order of these kingdoms exactly Dan Moses.

3. The initial chaos ( v.2 ).

4. Land, originally covered with water (ibid.).

5. The emergence of continents and oceans, and life on Earth ( v.9-12 ).

6. Formation of the organic kingdoms after the mineral  ( v.1.11 ).

7. The emergence of plants from organic matter before the animals ( v.11-12 ).

8. The emergence of the first animals in the water, and then on the ground ( 20-24 ).

9. The emergence of man - the last of the living beings ( v.26 ).

Andre Marie Ampere says :

The sequence in which appear the organically formed creatures, contained the exact sequence of the six days of creation, as it presents us with the book of Genesis. Or Moses had the same deep education in science, or WHETHER IT was TEACHED by God.

When we penetrate in the natural sciences, history and Linguistics, they prove to us the truth and validity of the biblical message :

1. Branches of natural and historical Sciences (knowledge from different fields of science)

2. Scientific life in its gradual development (God gradually reveals knowledge)

3. Consideration of humanity science in a number of instances, and it organization

4. Linguistics said that ALL LANGUAGES HAVE the SAME ROOT. She sort of  them, that two of the kind that now speak different languages (the loved ones) once said on one. Going on, come to the conclusion that mankind had one language and consisted of several personalities.

 

Scientific discoveries and the Bible.

1. People only in the 15th century came to the belief that the Earth is round (Copernicus, alleging this, accused heresy). This is confirmed by journey around the world. He is the one Who sits on the circle (ball) of the Earth.

Isaiah 40.22

(English translation "the round earth")

2. Later, Newton discovered the LAW of GRAVITY and answered the question, what keeps the Earth and denied that she "keeps on backups.

He... hung the Earth no matter what.

Job 26.7

I created the Earth, and created man upon it. I - my hands unfolded the heavens and all the host of them gave the Law Me.

Isaiah 45.12

3. The Water Cycle in nature - water evaporation and cooling in the upper layers of the atmosphere confirmed :

All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full: to the place where the rivers run, they return to again flow.

Ecclesiastes 1.7

4. The Bible says that air has weight, and here's what the text gave rise to his dimension (Galileo):

He felt the weight of the wind...

Job 28.25

5. Analytical chemistry has established a presence in all the elements that make up the human body.

And the Lord God formed man from the dust of the Earth.

Genesis 2.7

6. Medical practice recognized that the life of the flesh is in the blood:

I will and your blood, which your life...

Genesis 9.5

7. Scripture allegorically described the circle of blood, open Garvey in the year 1616 (2 circulation, Atria, ventricles).

For straying in his eternal home, and ready to surround him on the street mourners-until the lost silver chain, and landed a gold armband, and has not crashed a pitcher at the source, and not hit the wheel on the well.

Ecclesiastes 12.5-6

 

The Pentateuch of Moses written over 400 years to Homer and for 900 years before the first Greek philosopher Thales. IN ADDITION, NUMEROUS ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION-KEE CONFIRMED BIBLICAL NARRATIVE.

 

Thus, SCIENCE DOES NOT RESOLVE, and PROVES the BIBLE. It gives us reason to say words of Psalm:

REJOICE, THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS: THE RIGHT DECENTLY COMELY FOR THE UPRIGHT.

Psalm 33.1
