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)

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 Superior Technology of the Ancient Egyptians

The technolical marvels left by the ancient Egyptians show clearly that mankind possessed intelligence from the beginning. This is in direct opposition to the evolution story of humans having the intelligence of apes and then developing more.

Darwinian Deception

The Darwinian evolution story is so fanciful that propagators have to resort to deception in order to sell it.

Abortion, the Cold Hard Facts

A single fertilized egg cell contains all the information required to construct a unique person with all his/her inherited features and this will happen if the cell is allowed to grow to maturity and be born.

What the Bible Tells us About the Earth

The Bible tells us that the earth is suspended in space, it is spherical and it is rotating.

Two religions Two World Views

An incident occurred in southern France recently, where two men lived out their religions and in doing so, left four people dead.

Australia has flourished because of its Christian heritage and it all started with Captain Cook.

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.

Blubber in a 180 million year old Ichthyosaur

Tests show that biological material can only last a few thousand years in our environment. Yet more and more soft tissue is being found in dinosaur era fossils. It can only mean, evolution did not happen.

The Date of Jesus’ Death

The markers that Luke provides regarding the time of Jesus’ birth, precludes the earlier date for Christ’s death. Against this, is the circumstantial evidence for the earlier date of Jesus’ birth supplied by Josephus. Luke has never been proved wrong.

  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.
