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)

Some Interesting Facts about the Bible

The Bible is unique in all literature. What follows are some interestings facts about it.

Did the Apostle Peter go to Rome?

The writings of the early church leave no doubt as to whether Peter spent his final years in Rome or not.

Why are not Passover and Easter at the same time?

The Bible tells us that Jesus was crucified at Passover. This being the case, both Jews and Christians should have the same day in common, so why are they not?

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.

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.

Prophecies Concerning Biblical Cities; Jerusalem

The precise prophecies concerning Jerusalem, being destroyed by Nebuchadnezzah, Jews taken into captivity and released after 70 years by Cyrus and the city never being destroyed again, have been completely fulfilled.

Noah’s Flood part 4

If you were to take a bottle or a jar, fill it to about one third with soil and sand…

The Seven-Day Week

The length of time for a year, month and day are set by the rotation and orbits of the earth and moon, the seven-day week with its six days of work and one day of rest was established by the Creator Himself.

The House of David Inscription

The stone was easily removed and when turned toward the sun, the letters were clearly visible. In their words, “It was an unforgettable moment.”

Animals and plants that lived with the dinosaurs

God’s Creation of Eve

The rib bone is the only bone in the human body that will grow again if it is removed.

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.

A Summary of the Bible in 1,000 Words

How does someone not familiar with the scriptures start readiing the Bible? Does he/she start at Genesis, the Psalms, or the book of Matthew? The reason for this summary is so that the novice may have some understanding of each part of the Bible.

Oberammergau and the Black Death

The villagers of Oberammergau gathered in front of a large crucifix. They vowed that if God would halt the plague, they would enact the last week of Jesus’ life, His suffering, death and resurrection, as a thank offering.

God Created Earth to Support Life

Our home is unique in all the universe because God marvellously designed it to support life.

Overwhelming Scientific Evidence for a Young Earth

Evolutionists say the earth is 4.5 billion years old, the Bible says a bit over 6,000 years old. What does science say? Dr Humphreys confined himself to just sixteen measurable parameters. His work is included here because it is well researched and comprehensively referenced. However, there are many more examples.

Prophecies Concerning Biblical Cities; Petra/Edom

Esau rejected God’s way and his descendants, the Edomites, suffered accordingly. There are many biblical prophecies regarding the Edomites and they were all fulfilled right down to their eventual demise.

  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.
