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)

We are told constantly in books, documentaries, movies and magazines that the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, so it must be true, right? Wrong; read further.

Prophecies Concerning Biblical Cities; Jerusalem

The precise prophecies concerning Jerusalem, being destroyed by Nebuchadnezzah, Jews taken into captivity and released after 70 years by Cyrus and the city never being destroyed again, have been completely fulfilled.

George Muller, What God Did Through One Man

What George Muller (1805-1898) achieved during this period, by housing, feeding, clothing and educating 9,500 starving, begging orphans is astounding. He did it all by prayer with the expectation that God would answer.

The Fidelity of Mark’s Gospel

The evidence for the fact that Mark wrote his gospel after hearing Peter talk about his eyewitness experiences with Jesus and being part of Jesus’ earthly ministry and that this took place in Rome during the latter part of Peter’s life, is very strong.

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.

Brick making in Egypt by Hebrew slaves

The evidence presented, shows clearly that Hebrew slaves made a quota of mud bricks with straw, exactly as the Bible states.

Was Jesus totally naked when He was crucified?

Most paintings of the crucified Jesus show Him wearing a loincloth, but was this true?

Prophecies Concerning Biblical Cities; Tyre

Ezekiel’s diverse and very specific prophecies concerning Tyre have come true even in the minutest detail. Again proving the reliability of the Bible.

What the Bible Tells us About the Earth

The Bible tells us that the earth is suspended in space, it is spherical and it is rotating.

Noah’s Flood; Questions

If the whole world was covered with water and all of the animals came out of the ark, how is it that we find kangaroos and koalas only in Australia and kiwis only in New Zealand?

Noah’s flood part 1

Of all the parts of scripture, it is Noah’s Flood that has come in for some of the most criticism. So…

Christ’s Blood

Unexplainably, when a child is conceived, the mother’s blood is never mixed with that of her fetus; the two vascular systems are completely separate.

The certainty of Christ’s resurrection

There is no doubt that the man known in the Bible as Jesus of Nazareth was/is God the Son and that He rose from the dead.

Pontius Pilate

Pilate may have been a big shot in Jerusalem but he was merely a pawn in the hand of the Almighty.

The Oldest Hebrew Script ever Discovered Supports Moses’ Writings

The Bible states at the start, that it is a written account (Genesis 5:1) and this discovery of the earliest Hebrew writing showed it to be alphabetic and available to be used for this purpose.

Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael’s life is a testimony of what can be achieved by someone who is devoted to serving her Lord and following His call on her life.

Archaeology Confirms Daniel 5

The Nabonidus Cylinder, is possibly the most significant archaeological discovery ever made; certainly, as far as Christians are concerned. It proves that the ancient historians were wrong and that the Bible is entirely correct.

Antiochus Epiphanese the Devil’s Disciple

Jesus referred to Daniel’s mention of the “abomination that causes desolation” when He warned about a future event which will be a sign of the end of the age. But the reference in Daniel was fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes. The one event can be carried out by different people at different times.

Our world is designed to support life

For this is what the LORD says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.

  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.
