INTRO
WOG - Bible - Love it… Learn It… Live it
Useful - The Bible is supposed to be in every part of your life
Purpose - prepare you an I to do the good works He has for us to do.
ILL of the Muslim guy that slapped the Christian and said now… turn your cheek… thought that he has a got ya verse… we all probably worry about that.
We are going to learn some apologetics… Josh McDowell, RW, Josh.org
Evidence that demand a verdict.
Why the Bible Can Be Trusted
7 Reasons the Bible can be trusted.
1.
It is historically accurate.
A lot of people don’t believe parts of the Bible.
The first 11 chapters ?
Three tests of historical accuracy.
1. Eyewitness accounts
2. Recorded and copied with extreme care.
Scribes had a standard that no one else ever had.
They transcribed letter by letter.
Pent.
Find the middle letter and count forwards and backward and if the number did not match the original, they threw the whole thing away.
Dead Sea Scrolls - letter for letter accurate
3. Archaeological Confirmation
Hitite Empire - confirmed in the 1900s’
2. It is scientifically accurate.
God is the God of the universe.
He created it… medical laws…
Bible has never been contradicted by science… science evolves… go back and read your third grade science books.
Look at computers.
Bible is not a science book so it doesn’t use a lot of science language.
1861 French Academy of Science 51 Incontrovertible Scientific Facts that Prove the Bible is Wrong
Problem - since that time, all 51 have been disproven.
Science during the day - don’t show up in the Bible.
The Earth was flat
They should have looked in the Bible.
The Earth had to be held up
Greeks - Atlas
Hindu - Globe sat on the back of an elephant on the back of a which stood on the back of a sea turtle which stood on the back of a serpent that swam through out the sea
Egyptians - earth stood on the 5 pillars.
Moses was trained in this because he was raised Egyptian.
JOb
How did Job know?
Maybe God told him.
The number of the stars could be counted.
Parkus 150 BC 1,022
Tolemy - 1026
If they had just read Jeremiah…
Medical Science
Hyprocates beleived humoralism.
Too much Blood made you sick
Blood letting.
GW died on the 3rd time they Bleed him.
If they would have read Lev…
Bubonic Plague
- 1/4 of the people in the people died.
No concept of contagion.
3. It’s prophetically accurate.
Risk - If man wrote it, there was a big risk in one not being true.
Over 300 prophecies about Jesus and the last one for him was 400 years before he came on the scene.
David prophesied the crucifixation before anyone was doing crucifixation.
Dr Peter Stoner - Science Speaks - studie probability.
Chances of grabbing a red ball from a bucket of 9 white balls - 1/10
Probability of one person fulfilling just 8 of the prophecies of Jesus.
One person fulfilling 8 prophecies is 1 in 10 (17) power 100,000,000,000,000,000
If you took that many silver dollars and covered the state of texas and colored 1, and put a guy blindfilded in a helicopter and let him down and he grabs the red one.
One person fulfilling 16 prophecies is 1 in 10 (45)
One person fulfilling 48 prophecies is 1 in 10 (157)
It’s impossible.
How did that happen?
Perhaps the prophecies were from God.
Thats why Jesus says…
Only Scripture in those days was the OT
Some of these are yet to be fulfilled and you don’t want to be on the wrong side of those prophecies.
It takes more faith that the prophecies of the Bible just happened than it takes to believe they came from God.
4. It is thematically unified.
Written by 40 people over 1600 years… 12 nations… 3 continents.
Same theme...
How did that happen.
5. It’s trusted by Jesus.
People … I love Jesus but I don’t know about the rest of that book.
If you are going to love Jesus, you have to trust what he trusted.
Jesus trusted the whole Bible.
People say things have changed… people don’t believe like that anymore.
Listen, if something is going to change, you change… the Bible doesn’t change.
If you believe what you like in the Bible but don’t believe what you don’t like, it’s not the Bible that you trust but yourself.
There is no way it’s not true and I still have more to give you.
It is pure, true…
I will trust it because Jesus trusted it.
I may not understand it all, but I trust it.
6.
It has survived all attacks.
Why was it attacked?
Could it be that the enemy of your soul wants to keep you far from it.
He doesn’t want you to have anything to do with the Bible.
The Bible is the most despised, derided, denied, disputed, dissected, debated, outlawed and destroyed book ever.
And it’s still going.
Read this...
I love the Bible.
Voltaire - smart guy -
Within 100 years the Bible will be forgotten.
Voltaire
The only thing that’s been forgotten was that quote.
His home became the French bible Society… That’s some God humor.
