@ ahwuyen

Please where did the bible say the earth was formed 6,000 years ago?

How long did Adam stay in the garden of Eden ( remmeber they were supposed to be immortals)?

Did you take into account the errors in calender making when you came up with the 6,000 year theory?

How long did God move over the surface of the deep ( Gen 1:2 ) before he said let there be light?

The Bible is silent on so many issues and when you fill them in with what you think should be right, you make gross scientific errors and make yourself a laughing stock to atheists. A good example is Kent Hovind saying a comet initiated the Flood.

Finally, your knowledge about the theory of evolution and its ammendments is very poor. I would suggest you brush it up before you can finally prove that it is wrong.

So many things were not written in the bible bicos no book on earth will contain it. what was written is enough material needed to lead any serious minded person to God. the missing days in calendar was traced to the Joshua declaration in the bible. The bible recorded that the earth was a void without form and it takes the creativity of God for the present earth to have form. Please my dear God does not have begining nor the end. so there is no record of time with god. that is why he is God he lives forever. The ancient of Days, he's never old. He does not have an end.

Well, I guess some minds are so badly affected that no amount of reason can penetrate. What a shame!

The Bible:
God's inspired message to man.
Scientific evidences to prove it!!!

The Bible is the world's all-time best selling book. About 2.5 billion copies have been printed which are available in over 700 languages. Although the Bible has enjoyed such vast distribution and attention, it is read relatively little. Perhaps part of the reason the Bible is so neglected is the many doubts people have about this unique book. If the Bible came from the mouth of God, then the scriptures are believable when they speak of Jesus Christ and accurate when they touch the realm of science.

All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work . (2 Timothy 3:16,17)

The word "inspired" (theopneustos) in the original Greek language literally means "God-breathed". When the Bible claims to be inspired, we understand therefore, that it came from the mouth of God. It is God-breathed, inspired.

But a skeptic will say, "Everyone knows the Bible was written by men! The book of 1 Corinthians, for example, was written by a man named Paul. After all, the very first verse bears his name as the author." In reply to this we answer: "Yes, 1 Corinthians was written by Paul. Notice however, what Paul said in chapter 14, verse 37: "the things I write to you are the Lord's commandment." Paul knew the source of his writings and understood that he was like a pen in the hand of Almighty God. We must not view the Bible as the word of Paul, Peter, or Jeremiah, but rather, as the message God revealed through these men just as it is written in Jeremiah 1:9,

Then the Lord stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, 'behold, I have put my words in your mouth'.

The Bible writers were not like news reporters giving their personal interpretation of events they eye-witnessed, but were divinely guided as 2 Peter 1:20-21 says,

Above all, you must understand that no prophesy of scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

God and man worked together in writing the scriptures. However, in this work, God is the author who dictated the message, and man is the writing instrument. Men were guided or inspired to write the exact message God wanted recorded in the Bible. Now that we have a fundamental understanding of inspiration and the origin of the Bible, let us look at some evidence of inspiration.

"We constantly thank God that when you received from us the word of God's message, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God" (1 Thessalonians 2:13).
Scientific information in the Bible

Although the Bible is not primarily a book of science, it does contain numerous scientific facts. We laugh at the scientific knowledge of just a hundred years ago. If man alone were the author of the Bible, we would expect to find many such humorous errors contained in it. However, if we examine the scientific data of the Bible and find it to be accurate to present-day knowledge, then we have powerful evidence for divine authorship. The scientific facts we are about to examine are not only accurate, but were revealed thousands of years before man discovered them for himself. The Bible does not contain any errors typical of the time in which it was written. Would we expect anything less from a book written by God?
The earth is round!

You may be surprised to learn that the Bible revealed that the earth is round. Job 26:10, Prov 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, Amos 9:6. Today, we chuckle at the people of the fifteenth century who feared sailing because they thought they would fall over the edge of the flat earth. Yet the Bible revealed the truth in 1000 B.C. 2500 years before man discovered it for himself!
"Paths of the sea"



Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is considered the father of oceanography. His wife was reading a portion of the Bible to him. While listening, he noticed the expression "paths of the sea" in Psalms 8:8. Upon his recovery, Maury took God at his word and went look ing for these paths. We are indebted to his discovery of the warm and cold continental currents. His book on oceanography is still considered a basic text on the subject and is still used in universities. Maury used the Bible as a guide to scientific discovery. If only more would use the Bible as a guide in their personal lives!
The Hydrologic Water Cycle
Revealed in the Bible: Job 36:27-28

The water cycle was not fully understood until about 30 B.C. by a Roman engineer named Marcus Vitruvius. Yet every aspect of the water cycle was fully revealed to mankind in 1600 B.C.! The Bible's description is in perfect harmony with modern science. Eccl 1:6-7; 11:3; Job 26:8; Amos 9:6. Vitruvius was 1600 years too late!
6 DAY CREATION,
GOD WAS TAKING HIS TIME

If a fair maiden kisses a frog which instantly changes into a handsome prince, we would call it a fairy tale. But if the change takes 40 million years, we call it evolution. We often hear that science has proved evolution. Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, people often confuse scientific fact with scientific theory. Current scientific theory does conflict with creation. But the facts of science do not! There are many scientists who fully accept Biblical creation. Surprised?

The theory of evolution says that over millions of years simple life forms (one celled creatures) slowly evolved into complex life forms (fish), and that one kind of animal evolved into another kind (ape to man). Genesis, on the other hand, says that all life forms were created in six, 24 hour days. Genesis chapter one states 10 times that life forms can only reproduce after their own kind (ape to ape, man to man). All the observable facts of science strongly support the Bible's claim that it is impossible for one kind to reproduce a different kind. The truth is, there is absolutely no tangible evidence to support evolution from any area of science, just theory and a wild imagination!

But if the Bible is wrong and man actually did evolve in small graduations over a long period of time, we should find ample fossil evidence of links in intermediate stages of transition. For decades, evolutionists have searched for fossils of these links to prove biblical creation wrong. Although millions of fossils have been unearthed, not even one missing link has ever been found. Has it ever occurred to you that this is the reason why scientists refer to them as missing links?

Even Charles Darwin realized the difficulty missing links gave his theory. Darwin wrote in his book, Origin Of The Species, "Why, if species have descended from other species by fine graduation, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?" The reason we have never found any missing links is quite simple. Darwin's theory of evolution is wrong!
Experts tricked for 40 years!

In 1912, Arthur Woodward announced to the world that he had found the missing link between ape and man. Piltdown Man, as he called it, consisted of a jaw bone and a piece of skull which he estimated to be over 500,000 years old! However, in 1953, when the new fluoride dating process was applied to the bones, scientists were shocked to learn that the jaw bone was less than 50 years old. Only then did they notice that the bones and teeth had been treated with salts and filed to make them appear old and primitive. In other words, Piltdown Man was a complete fraud. Take note Bible student! The world's foremost scientific experts had been fooled for over 40 years! (Read 1 Corinthians 3:18-20.) For almost a half century, evolutionists pushed Piltdown Man in the faces of Bible believers as scientific proof we evolved from apes! Some proof!

In spite of over 100 years of intensive searching, the only place you will find a missing link today is in the colourful imagination of an evolutionist. Museums certainly don't have any! "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Gen 1:1) Have you ever considered that when God created the universe in six short 24 hour days, He may have been taking His time?

The Bible is a reliable book of genuine divine prophecy. You can trust it!

The evidence presented here is just a tiny portion of the proofs available to establish the divine origin of the Bible. Yet, they are more than sufficient to prove the inspiration of the Bible. There will always be men who scoff at the Bible. You, however, can be confident when you read your Bible that God is the author, for it is written:
"We constantly thank God that when you received from us the word of God's message, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God" (1 Thessalonians 2:13).

@tpaine,

1 Corinthians 2
1. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath
   prepared for them that love him.

10[b]. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. [/b]

11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Your Long comments make for difficult reading. . .

Now you barely made an effort to answer my questions and also failed to understand what I asked. I did NOT ask when GOD 'started'. what I asked you was after God created heaven and earth in Gen 1:1, how long did He hover over the waters of the deep ( Gen 1:2 ) before creating Light ( Gen 1:3 )?

ondemning science without understanding history is bad ( your comment about Joshua causing discrepeancies in today's calender is laughable). I would advise you to do more research about the Julian calender as this would help your understanding.

Finally, scientific finds already existing in the bible is nothing more than 'making a face in the clouds'. The theory has to exist before 'bible enthusiasts' like you try to find a scripture remotely associated with that find.

The bible is the word of God and should remain thus. bringing it into a science classroom is nothing more than taking a lamb to the slaughter house.

@tpaine

taking swipes at ignorant christians will yield no fruitful results rather let them believe what they want to believe. Religion with all the atrocities it has committed in the past gives people hope in today's world.
Re: How Do We Know The Bible Is The Word Of God? by oaroloye(m): 6:34pm On Feb 13, 2017
SHALOM!

tpaine:
Is there any independent way of knowing the bible is the word of god? Currently, the only evidence is contained within the bible itself.

You can say:

"THE ONLY EVIDENCE I KNOW IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE BIBLE ITSELF;
I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY OTHER EVIDENCE."


You cannot say that the only Evidence that The Bible is The Word of God is in The Bible.

That is like saying that the only proof that PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, and BIOLOGY textbooks are true is within the Books themselves!

There can be no more foolish an idea.

Everywhere THE GOSPEL is preached, people of comparable Spiritual Systems corroborate Its validity- even if they do not abandon their own Religions to follow Yahshua.

When one develops oneself Spiritually by other means, one finds that one falls short, and only The Bible can make up the difference.

Other Spiritual Schools know that there is a Spiritual Realm that they cannot enter, and when The Gospel is presented, they understand what It is talking about.

But this is circular reasoning. For instance, the Egyptian Book of the Dead also claims to contain the words of god. So both books make the same claim. Which one is to be believed?

I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH A CLAIM BEFORE.

What is in THE BOOK OF THE DEAD to support such a claim?

The Egyptians had many gods- all useless- does THE BOOK OF THE DEAD speak for all of them, or only some of them, or only one of them?

What does THE BOOK OF THE DEAD teach?

My finding has consistently been, in the DECADES people have shoved this NAME in my face, that NONE OF THEM KNOW!

They just SAY: " "THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD" is on a par with THE BIBLE!" but they NEVER show PROOF of that statement.

It is just an OYINBO BLUFF.

Like in their pasttime of CARD GAMES, where they PRETEND that their HAND is as good as anyone else's at the table.

If they can make their opponents think that that is so, when it isn't, they can walk off with all of their money.

That is what BOOK OF THE DEAD touts try to do.

Many other civilizations have had one form of book or oral tradition preserving the words of their god(s). Do all of these have valid claims as representing the word of god?

This shows that YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING about how THE WORDS OF GODS are preserved.

Most bibles today have 66 books, but there are bible (catholic bibles) with 72 books. Has god spoken more to the catholics than to other denominations?

For this statement to have any meaning, you should have had to have read those spurious books- called THE APOCRYPHA.

Do you even know their names?

If you read the Books, you will see why they were not included in The Bible used today.

The King James Bible originally had some of those Books.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_apocrypha

What about the newly discovered gospels of Judas, Mary Magdalene, etc? Are these also god's word? How could one tell if a book is inspired by god or not?

The point is, YOU are NOT QUALIFIED to know the difference between a "BOOK OF GOD," and something some MAN wrote out of his own "HEAD."

. JOHN 8:30-32.

30. As he spake these words,
many believed on him.
31. Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him,
"If ye continue in my Word,
then are ye my Disciples indeed;
32. "And ye shall know The Truth,
and The Truth shall make you free."


WHATEVER GOD SAID, OR DID NOT SAY TO OTHER BIBLE WRITES OR PROPHETS IN THE WORLD IS IRRELEVANT.

Only the Words of Yahshua lead to THE TRUTH.

. JOHN 14:1-18.

"LET not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
2. "In my Father's House
are many Mansions:
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
3. "And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again,
and receive you unto myself;
that where I am,
there ye may be also.
4. "And whither I go ye know,
and The Way ye know."
5. Thomas saith unto him,
"Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know The Way?"
6. Jesus saith unto him,
"I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life:
no man cometh unto The Father, but by me.
7. "If ye had known me,
ye should have Known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye Know Him,
and have seen Him."
8. Philip saith unto him,
"Lord, shew us the Father,
and it sufficeth us."
9. Jesus saith unto him,
"Have I been so long time with you,
and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
He that hath seen me hath seen The Father;
and how sayest thou then,


'SHEW US THE FATHER?'

10. "Believest thou not
that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me?
The Words that I speak unto you
I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me,

THE WORKS THAT I DO
SHALL HE DO ALSO;'


and Greater (Works) than these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father.
13. "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name,
that will I do,
that The Father may be glorified in The Son.
14. "If ye shall ask any thing in my Name,
I will do it.
15. "If ye love me,
keep my Commandments.
16. "And I will pray The Father,
and He shall give you another Comforter,
that He may abide with you for ever;
17. "Even The Spirit of Truth;
whom the World cannot receive,
because It seeth him not,
neither knoweth Him:
but ye know him;
for He dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
18. "I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you."


THESE WORDS PROVE THAT THE GOSPEL IS TRUE.

A complete FOOL will just LOOK at them, and SAY that they "PROVE NOTHING."

You are not supposed to LOOK at them- you are supposed to DO THEM!

How can you DO THE SAME WORKS Yahshua did, and then say that YOU DON'T KNOW whether The Gospel is THE WORD OF GOD or not?

. MATTHEW 24:14,35.

14. "And This Gospel of The Kingdom
shall be preached in all the World
for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall The End come."
35. "Heaven and Earth shall pass away,
but my Words shall not pass away."


NO OTHER PROPHET IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORD EVER HAD TEACHINGS LIKE THOSE OF YAHSHUA- WHICH ENABLE THE UNION WITH GOD- NOT AFTER YOU ARE DEAD, WHICH MIGHT NOT HAPPEN- BUT RIGHT HERE AND NOW ON EARTH- WHICH YOU VERIFY IN PERSON!

. JOHN 14:21-27.

21. "He that hath my Commandments,
and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him."
22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot,
"Lord, how is it that thou
wilt manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the World?"
23. Jesus answered and said unto him,
"If a man love me,
he will keep my Words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
24. "He that loveth me not
keepeth not my Sayings:
and The Word which ye hear is not mine,
but The Father's which sent me.
25. "These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
26. "But the Comforter,
Which is The Holy Ghost,
Whom the Father will send in my Name,
He shall Teach you All Things,
and bring All Things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
27. "Peace I leave with you,
my Peace I give unto you:
not as the World giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid."


YOU WOULD EXPECT CHRISTIANS TO ACCLAIM AND AFFIRM MY EXPOSITION- BUT, YOU SEE, THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THIS.

This is NOT The Gospel that is preached in THEIR Churches.

They HATE Yahshua, and they HATE ME, for telling THE TRUTH, and they will therefore NEVER support It.

YAHSHUA spoke considerably explicitly on what happens to THEM.
Re: How Do We Know The Bible Is The Word Of God? by sonmvayina(m): 6:45pm On Feb 13, 2017
it is not the word of any God, it is the lies of men.....claiming the word of God.



why does the word of God always comes out from the mouth of men?..if one thing i know men are good at, it is lying..me inclusive, why will God trust that as a means of teaching us.
No supreme being with complex knowledge of the universe would give humans book to teach fellow humans, he/she/it would encode it into our natural psyche. It would be written in our essence. A supreme book would fascinate everyone, every time you read it. It would never cease to amazed anyone. This supreme being wouldn't put unicorns in its books. That is a fairy tale animal that surely doesn't belong in an extraordinary book.
