The Bible Is Dangerous, Inaccurate, And Written By Man
The Bible is the most accurate historical book on planet earth. It confirms science, reveals the Messiah, and proves that it is supernatural in origin.
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. New Living Translation
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword,cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. New Living Translation
How accurate is the Bible? Is the Gospel of Mark what Mark actually wrote?
Is the book of Isaiah what Isaiah actually wrote?
In 1945 the oldest copy of the book of Isaiah discovered was written in 1008 AD. In 1946 the Great Isaiah Scroll was found. It was written in 100 BC. This was an 1100 year gap between the two documents. When they compared the two they were over 99% identical. The only changes were misspelled words or conjunctions [and, or, but, etc.] that didn’t change the meaning of anything written in the book.
Is the Bible Dangerous?
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. New International Version
The Bible Agrees With Science
Isaiah 40:22 God sits high above the round ball of earth. The people look like mere ants… The Message
Job 26:7 He spreads the skies over unformed space, hangs the earth out in empty space. The Message
The Scriptures aren’t the point. They point to the point; Jesus.
John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!” New Living Translation
The time of His birth. (Daniel chapters 8 & 9), He would be born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2), He would be born of a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14)
He would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. (Zechariah 11:12), He would be mocked. (Psalm 22:7-8), He would be crucified. (Psalm 22:16-18)
He would be pierced. (Psalms 22:16), He would die with the wicked, but He would be buried with the rich. (Isaiah 53:9)
Mathematics & Astronomy Professor Peter W. Stoner proved that the chances of just 8 prophecies about Jesus coming true by sheer chance are 1 in 10 Trillion! That is mathematically impossible!
The Bible contains 66 books written by 40 different authors over a span of 1,600 years. The miracle wasn’t that the Bible was written over a 1,600 year span. The miracle is that the Bible is so consistent! The fact that it tells one story over 1,600 years andit all points to Jesus is the miracle! That makes the Bible supernatural!
