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)

How did everything come into existence?

Many people have struggled with this question, but there is only one logical answer.

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.

Hezekiah, Judean king

The evidence that exists of his reign, associates, projects and the events that occurred during his time, is very strong and it confirms the integrity of the Bible.

Noah’s Flood; Questions

If the whole world was covered with water and all of the animals came out of the ark, how is it that we find kangaroos and koalas only in Australia and kiwis only in New Zealand?

The Miracle of Dunkirk

The year was 1940 and the mighty German war machine was crushing all before it …. a third of a million men comprising the British Expeditionary Force, three French divisions and the remains of the Belgium army were trapped between the advancing German army and the sea.

Malcolm Muggeridge

Muggeridge indulged himself in the base things of this world, but he knew they did not fulfill and only when he observed the sacrificial love of Mother Teresa did he did he become a Christian and use his God-give abilities of wit and prose to support Christianity rather than to attack it.

Gospel accounts of Jesus’ resurrection

What initially looked like a mixture of disconnected stories is really one coherent account of the most amazing event in human history.

Was Jesus totally naked when He was crucified?

Most paintings of the crucified Jesus show Him wearing a loincloth, but was this true?

Why 400 Years Between the Testaments?

The question is; Why 400 years between the testaments? But when we look at it closely, it all makes perfect sense.

Jacob’s Land Allotments Confirmed

The Samaria Ostraca provide evidence of the reality of the clans and the individuals they were named after and they destroy all other theories that try to account for Jewish occupation of Canaan other than what is recorded in the Bible.

Cook and Christianity, a 250 year Anniversary

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

Antony Flew

Antony Flew, the world’s most vocal atheist, looked at the chemistry of life, rejected atheism and announced that he believed in a God as the only possible position he could hold. It is Christianity that makes sense, not atheism.

Drawing and writing with ink from fossil octopuses

Again we find archaeology either confirming or, as in this case, showing that Noah’s Flood is a more viable explanation of how octopuses became encased in limestone rock and preserved so well with tentacles, suckers and even their ink sacks all intact, than the evolution story.

Our world is designed to support life

For this is what the LORD says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.

Assyrian King Confirms Scripture

Scripture is continually being confirmed by archaeological discoveries. The writing on theTaylor and the other two prisms by an Assyrian king, runs parallel to that of scripture.

The Best Selling Book of all Time Apart From the Bible

The best selling book of all time apart from the Bible is a Christian book also. It tells the story of a dream written in allegorical form of a man who leaves the City of Destruction with his destination as the Celestial City. Written by John Bunyan from jail in 1678, The Pilgrim’s Progress has never been out of print in almost 350 years. It has been translated into over 200 languages.

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.
