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)

Mendel verses Darwin

Mendel experimented while Darwin theorised. Darwin was embraced and Mendel forgotten until real science showed Mendel to be correct and Darwin not.

Living Fossils

Living fossils are powerful evidence that the various forms of life have stayed within their created kinds as stated in the Bible (Genesis 1:20-25)

How did everything come into existence?

Many people have struggled with this question, but there is only one logical answer.

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.

Evolution?…. Impossible!

Evolution means that life has no meaning or purpose; you came from nothing and that is where you will go when you die. It has provided the reason for eugenics, euthanasia and abortion and yet, it is a lie.

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 Hour, Day, Month and Year of Jesus’ Death

The date of the death of many familiar historical figures is known and there is enough evidence to know precisely when Jesus died.

Pontius Pilate: more evidence

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.

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.

Jacob’s Land Allotments Confirmed

The Samaria Ostraca provide evidence of the reality of the clans and the individuals they were named after and they destroy all other theories that try to account for Jewish occupation of Canaan other than what is recorded in the Bible.

Exactly Where Was Jesus Buried?

Both the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden Tomb are thought to be Jesus’ tomb. Recent archaeological evidence has confirmed one.

The Date of Jesus’ Death

The markers that Luke provides regarding the time of Jesus’ birth, precludes the earlier date for Christ’s death. Against this, is the circumstantial evidence for the earlier date of Jesus’ birth supplied by Josephus. Luke has never been proved wrong.

Wonderful Water

The structure of the water molecule that gives it all the properties which facilitate life and provide for a habitable planet did not, and could not, have come about by the accidental random collision of atoms. It is clearly a product of design by the great and benevolent Creator.

  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.
