A Defence Of The Bible

The heavens declare the glory of God.

Psalm 19:1

The Bible is infallible and inerrant;
we can trust it with our lives.

The Bible is intellectually credible
and historically defensible.

The Bible is an account of actual history.

A good rule of thumb;
People who attack the Bible are always wrong.

The Bible is the only standard of moral values.

History has shown that the Bible’s Ten Commandments
are the best set of rules for a society to live by.

The Bible was the basis for the Magna Carta
which was written by the church
and signed by the king in London in 1215.

The Bible was the basis for the American Constitution.

Only the Bible has prophesies that have been shown
to have been 100% correct.

The Bible was the first book to be printed by
Johannes Gutenberg after he invented the
movable type printing press.

The Bible is undisputed best-seller of all time.
Best estimates put the total number of Bibles printed
to be in excess of 4 billion.

The Bible has been translated into in excess of
2,000 language groups which cover over 90%
of the world’s population.

The Gospel Message

Everyone is a sinner; there are no exceptions (Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8-10; Romans 3:23).
The punishment for sin is death, both physical and spiritual (Genesis 2:17; Romans 6:23; James 1:15). Spiritual death is a separation from God (Genesis 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2) also called the Second death (Revelation 21:8).
God came to earth and lived in the form of Jesus the Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity, and died both physically (John 19:30) and spiritually (Matthew 27:46) and in doing so, paid the penalty for the sins of all people.
All people who accept Christ’s gift by believing, and are committed to Him, will not die spiritually (Romans 8:10) but will be alive with Him for all eternity (John 3:16, 5:24; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Steps to becoming a Christian

Admit your need of forgiveness
If we claim to be without sin we are only fooling ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins. (1 John 1:8-9)
Believe in Jesus Christ
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:13)
Commit yourself to God
Seek God’s will in all you do and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:6)

Animals and plants that lived with the dinosaurs

Dr Carl Werner devoted 30 years of his life checking to see if the fossil record really did support evolution. His clear conclusion is that it opposes evolution.

When Did the Dinosaurs Die Out?

Evolutionists say that the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. It must be fact, right? Wrong!

Where did Cain get his wife from?

Only three of Adam and Eve’s children are mentioned; Cain Abel and Seth. Cain moves to another land after he kills Abel and marries, so where did his wife come from?

George Muller, What God Did Through One Man

What George Muller (1805-1898) achieved during this period, by housing, feeding, clothing and educating 9,500 starving, begging orphans is astounding. He did it all by prayer with the expectation that God would answer.

Jehoiachin’s Ration Tablets

The Bible states that the Judean king Jehoiachin was taken captive by the Babylonians but later released and placed in a position of honour and supplied with daily rations. This seemingly incongruous situation has been confirmed by archaeology.

Non-biblical Writings Concerning Jesus

There are 5,656 New Testament manuscripts written in Greek, more than 10,000 in Latin and more than 1,000 in other languages. However, the inquirer may want additional evidence from non-Christian sources and there are many.

Prophecies Concerning Biblical Cities; Tyre

Ezekiel’s diverse and very specific prophecies concerning Tyre have come true even in the minutest detail. Again proving the reliability of the Bible.

Confirmation of 83 People Mentioned in the Bible

The Bible has been under attack virtually from the time the first documents were written. However, the Bible stands strong and here are 83 people who are mentioned in the Bible and their verification.

The Hour, Day, Month and Year of Jesus’ Death

The date of the death of many familiar historical figures is known and there is enough evidence to know precisely when Jesus died.

Evidence for the Resurrection

There can be no doubt that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, thereby demonstrating that He was fully man and is fully God.

Radiometric Dating

The key to radiometric dating is that a radioactive isotopes normally decay at a precise rate. But there are three major problems which give inaccurate results.

Who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus?

When we look at the face of Amenhotep II (pictured) we can be quite sure that it is the same face that Moses looked at.

Isaiah’s Seal, has it been found?

There is good evidence that the seal found belonged to the prophet Isaiah; it was found in the right place and in the right archaeological period. But it is broken in half and definitive assignment is impossible.

Prophecies Concerning Biblical Cities: Summary

There are six cities mentioned in the Bible whose future was prophesised. Each prophecy was realised in every way, even in the minutest detail.

Reasons to Believe the Bible 3 – Creation

Our universe is highly ordered with galaxies, solar systems, planets and moons, all rotating with perfect symmetry…

Because There Was No Room For Them In The Inn

The picture we are presented with in school and Sunday school plays where children act out the scene of Joseph with a heavily pregnant Mary who was just about to give birth, being turned away by an uncaring inn keeper when they requested lodging, and that he finally relents and points them to a tumbledown stable for Mary to give birth to her baby. A close examination of the scriptures shows this is incorrect.

Why I Think This Site Will Benefit You

Material is presented in the Resources page and contains topics like; A summary of the Bible in less than 1,000 words, The Bible on social issues, The Bible or the Koran only one can be true & 15 Questions for Evolutionists. I post a Blog about every two weeks covering a range of topics which are consistent with the theme of apologetics and an occasional social comment. There is a series on why evolution is impossible; another regarding evidence of Noah’s Flood and others will follow that show archaeological and broader scientific evidence which supports the integrity of the Bible. You may subscribe to it on this page. There are no copy right restrictions and all material can be printed or downloaded and may be used, but please acknowledge its source.

  Thank you for your comment Richard. You are correct, the reference should be to Romans 1:20. It has been corrected for the next printing.
