The Christian Life

The Bible has been one book that started being written over 4,000 years ago.  Over 40 authors in 1,500 years, God's plan and His story of history shows us how God wants us to live and who we should follow.  This story has then been passed from generation to generation.  It is the best selling book of all time.  Here's some debates that have risen while talking about this subject.  I'll do one each part.

Non-Christians: The Bible was written by men, so it can not be perfect because man is not perfect.  Therefore the entire book could be made up.

What I would say: I asked everybody to think about that question on the intro: Is the Bible written by a man or by God?

The answer is both.  In II Timothy 3:16 NIV, it says:

"All Scripture is God-breathed (meaning God-inspired) and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be throughly equipped for every good work."

Now, it's never good to use only Scripture to back up the validity of the Bible.  More evidence has been found that the Bible is a real history book.  Jesus would predict that after He's gone that the Jews would rebel against the Romans in Israel.  Of course in about 70 A.D. the Jews rebel but their temple and many other Godly monuments get destroyed.  Jesus predicts that 11 of the 12 disciples would get executed for their faith in Christ.  And it sure happened.  Every disciple but John was killed.   John was exiled on an island, while there he wrote Revelation.

That's the major debate about this topic.  You have to nail down the basics of the Bible that's how you really get to understand it.  Part 2 will nail down that the Bible was not a story just all made up.  Here's the next question to think about: Why would the Jews be so upset at the Disciples that they wanted to kill all of them?  What was it about them that made them so mad?

This is a song I heard at the ALIVE concert I told you about.  It's called "We are Loved" by David Crowder Band.
