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)

Archaeology has provided a deeper insight into the character of the man used by God to play a major role in releasing people from the chains which once bound them.

Some Interesting Facts about the Bible

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

Sodom found scripture confirmed

Why has there been such a desire to label the Bible account of the destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah and the other cities of the plain, a myth? Could it be that people do not like to think that there is an all-powerful God who will judge sin.

The Oldest Hebrew Script ever Discovered Supports Moses’ Writings

The Bible states at the start, that it is a written account (Genesis 5:1) and this discovery of the earliest Hebrew writing showed it to be alphabetic and available to be used for this purpose.

Egyptian Pharaoh Confirms Scripture in his Boastings

Shishak’s relief not only confirms the Bible’s report of his northern campaign, but also the names and places of six biblical towns.

Jesus’ Gift to Peter and his Fishing Partners

This miracle of Jesus is easy to skip over and to not realise the full extent of His blessing. But as this article shows, Jesus’ gift was enormous.

Ebla Tablets

The Ebla Tablets have shown what life was like at the time of the patriarchs, as well as the reality of Sodom and Gomorrah and other biblical cities.

Isaiah Was the Greatest of the Prophets

God had called Isaiah as His servant. Through him, He made the most significant announcements in world history.

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.”

The Purple Dye of the Bible Found

The recent discovery of material dyed purple from a murex sea snail enables us to lay eyes on the exact shad of purple that was used in the tabernacle, temple and priestly garments.

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.

Noah’s Flood part 5

World wide fossil graveyards, some comprising land dwellers, marine creatures, birds and vegetation all jumbled together can only point to Noah’s Flood.

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.

Much difference between us and monkeys? Plenty!

By creating mankind in His own image, God enabled humans to worship Him and in doing so, bring Him glory.

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.

Mathematics of the Lifetimes of the Patriarchs

To any mathematically inclined person, the derivation of the years each patriarch lived, from a geometric series, in the correct order, is fascinating. There appears to be no doubt that such an occurrence was divinely created; it could not have come about by chance.

  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.
