Seven Compelling Evidences Confirm the Bible Is True

[WinterBorn]

The greatest evidence of the Holy Scriptures is the witness of the Holy Ghost who teaches all who seek him the truths of eternity and shows the love of the Father and the Son to the honest in heart

That's not "evidence". Man, you guys REALLY need to find and use a more appropriate word. How about, "a feeling"...?

So God Himself tells you "Hey I'm real, these are my words" and you don't think that's evidence?

Actually, the many prophecies fulfilled by Christ proclaim who He is. And he confirmed that the Bible is Gods word.

How about the Flood? Is that confirmed as well?

Or how about God "Stopping the sun in the sky" so his people could finish a battle. Is that confirmed as well?

I still haven't seen the actual Civil War on YouTube.
I don't believe what I read in the news today, I'm gonna think about 10 years ago?

Enough of stupid ass questions about Biblical proof when you can't even really know what went on anywhere in the world 100 years ago.

The two questions I asked are examples of things that are often touted but scientifically impossible.

And I am not asking about what went on 100 years ago in China. But if you don't like my questions......well.....find another thread to read.

[Dale Smith]

I find the Bible's teachings about creation more palatable than the evolution theory of this big bang that brought about a single cell amoeba and from it sprung every bit of life on the planet. Where the evolution theory gets knocked on it's ass is the fact that there has been many findings of human beings as tall as 15 feet so being that is the case? What happened??? What kind of (snicker) "ape" did they evolve from? Hmmmmmmm????

Why does the height of a human knock evolution on its ass? There are freaks of nature that grow far beyond the norm.

I find the Bible's teachings on creation to be a nice fable, but nothing more. Evolution gives a better explanation without relying on an invisible man.

They have found the skeletal remains of giants all over the world. Go ahead and believe in evolution....knock yourself out. I find evolution as ludicrous as you do that we were created by a higher power.

"They have found the skeletal remains of giants all over the world. "

No, they haven't. Damn, you will believe ANYTHING.

WOW! Just because YOU say so!??!?!? That is some compelling proof right there, folks! (snicker)

I'm not trying to change your mind. You did not arrive at your embbarrassing, absurd beliefs by way of reason, so I am under no delusion that I could "reason" you out of them.

That is beyond ironic, given that you belong to the carbon man made "Climate Change" cult of ignorant fools that parrot findings of the IPCC that work at the leisure of the globalist U.N. You deny that the geo-engineering program that is going on above your head on an almost daily basis....so spare me your condescending and pathetic attempts to marginalize. I know more than you.....infinitely more.

It is a personal experience, but not evidence for anyone else.

On the other hand, hearing voices could be evidence of a psychosis.

And personal experience is the only way you can know God. We don't know Him vicariously through others. Reading the testimony of others, while often helpful, cannot help you know God.

Only those who serve Him know Him

Stopping the sun is a subject of debate amongst the sages and the verse can be interpreted in many ways; don't forget, you're getting an interpretation, not the original.

Actually no he didn't. People wrote the bible and made tried to make it that way.

 

[Penelope]

This is where the newbie jumps in:

God's character

God's character huh? Of course, the article goes on and on about the “love” of God. What about the dark side of this same God? This same God, throughout the OT, commanded the deaths of all homosexuals, witches, fortunetellers, women who are found not to be virgins on their wedding night, fornicators, nonbelievers, blasphemers, people who work on the Sabbath, and many others. And what about all those times in the OT where God orders the wholesale genocide of thousands of “enemies” - men, women, and children (ex.1 Sam. 15:2-3)! Oh, but before you kill them, don't forget to rape their wives (Isaiah 13:15-16)! I could go on and on about the “character” of God!

Claims of divine authorship

This is basically an exercise in circular reasoning. The bible was authored by God because the bible says it was authored by God. Oh, okay, well now I'm convinced! Every religion claims divine authorship of their sacred texts. Should we believe them all? In order to assess whether or not a text is divinely authored, one has to go beyond mere claims. One has to dig deeper and try to find anything in the bible (or any other sacred text), anything at all, that cannot be explained away as being anything other than supernaturally explainable, and in that respect, all sacred texts fail miserably.

Unity of the bible

This one is just downright laughable! There is NO unity in the bible! The bible was written by many different authors over many hundred of years, each of whom had their own views on things, and those views often clash with the views of other writers. This is why the bible can be used to justify almost anything. If you are pro-abortion, for example, there are ample bible passages that can be used to justify that position. The same is true if you are pro-abortion. This is also true of slavery and many other things.

For a good example of this, one need look no further than the synoptic gospels – Matthew, Mark and Luke. These gospels are very similar, using much of the same material, and yet in other respects they are very different. Almost all scholars agree that Mark was written first, and that Matthew and Luke used Mark's gospel as their primary source material. Yet Matthew and Luke don't just quote Mark. In many instances, they 'change' the words of Mark in order to make Mark's words fit into their own particular theological viewpoints! If Mark's gospel was literally “God's words”, why would they have felt the need to change them?

Fulfilled prophecy

There are NO instances anywhere in the bible where prophecy fulfillment can be proven, and most can be dis-proven. But let's get right to the so-called “prophecies” that really matter to Christians – the prophecies that relate to Jesus and his messiahship being prophesied about in the OT. There are a couple of excellent articles on the web that address this much better than I could, and I would highly encourage anybody who interested to read them. But since I am a newbie and have not yet made 15 posts, I cannot link to those articles (at least according to this message boards' rules and guidelines). Because of that, I will merely post the URLs, rather than an actual link. At least I hope it doesn't post as a link. I'm still green about linking on this board. Here they are:

Scientific accuracy

I won't spend much time on this one, other than to point out the obvious absurdity of it. The bible is the least scientific book you can possibly read. It amazed me that otherwise intelligent people can deny the scientifically proven facts of climate change, evolution, and many other things, while finding it perfectly reasonable to believe that humans were made out of dirt, that donkeys can talk, that a flood myth borrowed from earlier flood myths literally happened, etc., etc., etc.

Archaeological finds

There was a time when biblical archaeology was just that – archaeology conduction by Christian men with preconceived ideas who set out to find archaeological “proof” of the bible. But that was then, this is now. Most of those people themselves now admit that archaeology doesn't prove the bible. In fact, quite the opposite. Archaeology has proven, for example, that the Hebrew people were never slaves in Egypt, that the exodus never happened, and the conquest of Canaan never happened, just to name a few things (In fact, archaeology has shown that the Hebrew people themselves were originally Canaanites.)

Life-changing power

This one I'll save for another time. I myself had a powerful born-again experience when I was twenty. I know what it's like. I was a fanatical Christian for the next 15-to-20 years. Now I'm a deconverted former Christian. Why do I care about this stuff if I don't believe it? Because it is a huge part of my personal history. I can't help but still be fascinated by the whole subject.

What you fail to realize is that Jesus fulfilled many prophecies. He IS the Son of God. And He said that the Bible is Gods word. What part of that don't you understand?

Yes Titus was the son of Vespasian, who was known as God while he reigned.

Yes, a flood is possible. However, there is not enough water on the planet to cover all the land.

Obviously the sun did not stop. It would have been the rotation of the earth. And that would have certainly been noticed by other cultures alive at the time. Not to mention, the rotation of the earth is a fundamental part of the gravity we know and love.

The Talmud discussed 2 comets that were torn out of their orbit and contributed to the quantity.
This is corroborated by science; you'll have to Google it as working on my iPhone is driving me insane.

Okay, so give me ONE, just ONE, indisputable example of a giant's skeleton being found. Go ahead, give it a try!

I have........are you fucking blind or simply obtuse? Either excuse works just fine. You are stuck in this "either or" paradigm because of your hatred of those with faith because it steps on the toes of the fabian socialists that believe in government god thus it is an affront and must be eradicated.

Let me put this in language that I hope even an idiot like you can grasp ( and I will keep the use of multi-syllable words to a minimum). I will never be a leftist....not in this or any other lifetime. I would gladly and with tremendous zeal, slit the throat of a fabian socialist before I would ever support one. You can etch that in stone..............

I don't know where his skeleton is, but Vikas Uppal was over eight feet tall. Considering the average height back in Biblical times, he would definitely be considered a giant. And who's say that there wasn't a race of giants back then? After all, they were wiped out, eventually. Maybe we'll find one of THEIR skeletons some day. But giants DO exist. It's a fact.

I would need proof of that. Meaning, an intact, and ancient skeleton. Nothing less will do. Old newspaper articles, like the one someone else posted, do not qualify as evidence. Show me indisputable evidence of giants, and maybe I'll believe. Vikas Uppal was tall, sure, but nobody would refer to him as a "giant", as in, say, the Nephilim.
