Ok, its going to be a long one.

Consider these 3 points about the Christian Bible

1) 40 different authors writing over a period of 1,600 years penned the 66 books of the Bible as they were inspired by God. 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 of the New Testament. Yet, from Genesis to Revelation, they tell one unfolding story. Together they give consistent answers to the most important questions we can ask: Why am I here? How can we get along? What happen when I die? How can I make peace with my Maker? The answers to EVERY ONE of life's questions can be found in its pages. The Scriptures are not many books but one.

2) The Bible is painfully honest. It shows Jacob, the father of its "chosen people," to be a deceiver. It portrays David not only as Israel's most loved king, general, and spiritual leader, but as one who took another man's wife and then, to cover his own sin, conspired to have her husband killed. The Bible represents human nature as hostile to God. It predicts a future full of trouble. It teaches that the road to heaven is narrow and the way to hell is wide. Scripture was clearly not written for those who want simple answers or an easy, optimistic view of religion and human nature.

3)Unbelievers often point to those who claim to believe in the Bible without being changed by it. But history is also marked by those who have been bettered by this book. The Ten Commandments have been a source of moral direction to countless numbers of people. The Psalms of David have offered comfort in times of trouble and loss. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount has given millions an antidote for stubborn pride and proud legalism. Paul's description of love in 1 Corinthians 13 has softened angry hearts. The changed lives of people illustrate the difference the Bible can make. Even entire nations or tribes, like the Celts of Ireland, the wild Vikings of Norway, or the Auca Indians of Ecuador have been transformed by the Word of God and the unprecedented life and significance of Jesus Christ.


The Bible is a living book empowered by God, but to understand its pages you must have the Holy Spirit help you see spiritually.

Consider the following verses:

Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God... There is none that doeth good.

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:

God has already answered all possible questions in His finished Word, the Bible.

Lets talk about evolution, hell, afterlife, future events, suffering, injustice. whatever you would like :wink:
