Why
should I trust what
the Bible says?
Did
you know that the Bible is the world's ultimate all time number
one best seller - there have been more copies produced than any other
book
in history.
We
believe that the
Bible is an amazing and unusual book. We
believe the Bible was written by humans but that God made sure
they wrote what he wanted. Below
are some reasons why we think everyone should trust what is written
in it...
When
we are able to test the Bible’s historical accuracy we
find it is reliable.
As archaeologists discover more about Bible times we discover that town names & places,
tribal & individual names and customs all match with the Bible. In it we
find an accurate description of daily life and the history of the time. If
it's reliable on the things that we can prove maybe we should trust it on the
things that we can't prove.
The
Bible seems like it must have been written by one person.
The Bible was not written by 1 person but by 40 authors from many different walks
of life, over about 1,500 years and yet it all agrees and ties up as if it is
written by one person.
The
Bible describes many of it’s heroes with plenty of faults.
Some of it's heroes doubt God, are fearful when they face battle, argue and make
mistakes. A book that is truthful about it’s heroes can be trusted more
than one that isn’t.
