Who Here Believes that the Bible is the Inspired Word of God?

Question

And if you say yes to this-- do you believe we are also saved by His wonderful grace? (Ephesians 2:8)

I believe it to be the inspired word of God ( to first poster) I am seeing how many others out there believe this as well. : )

Yes Primoa- You ROCK! hehe

Answer 1

Yes I believe every word of scripture and I also believe in the finished work of Christ on the cross. We are saved by his grace not of our own works.

"All Scripture is 'God breathed' (given of inspiration of God) and is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness..." (2 Timothy 3:16).

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

Answer 2

The key word here is "inspired"... people who are motivated toward goodness are "inspired" by God i believe... However... anyone who uses the Bible... or has contributed to the Bible anything that can be used to hate others is inspired by evil or "the devil"... in fact... being that the various "bibles" of the world have been used more than anything as excuses for hate, war, greed, power and everything evil thats ever happened ... i wonder if they weren't penned by the devil himself... what a perfect crime to turn people over to the dark side and let them feel good about it doncha think?...

Answer 6

Original words of Jesus spoken in Armaic were undoubtedly divine words. Now what King James Version has are words of translators with added interpretations of their own.

Muslims do not accept any thing that contradicts Quran as Divine Words. God is same that dictated Torah Bible and Quran. God didn't contradict Himself every time He revealed new book. Quran being the last book from God is truly divine Word of God and has not been changed. Christians who have brains are finding out the truth and accepting Islam.

God can change a previous law of Torah and can add a new law. Muslims have to believe the new laws written in the last and final Book of God - Al-Quran.

Now Christians do not accept Quran and the last Messenger of God and expects Muslims to accept only Bible, though they do not even have it in original words of God in Armaic as was spoken to Jesus.

Quran's tells Muslims say to those who reject Quran, since you do not worship what Muslims worship, and you would not believe the book that Muslims believe, So you stay to your religion and we Muslims to on their religion.

With these words Quran teaches Muslims to follow your religion and to tolerate non-Muslims.

In Muslim countries, non-Muslims are protected by laws. Very seldom there is problem between them. During Muslim rule in Palestine, Spain, middle east, Iraq, Iran and north African countries Christians and Jews prospered and lived in peace as compared to how Jews and Christians are treating to Muslims under their authority.

Today because Christians has more power, and they are lot more prejudice to Muslims, they commit against Muslims atrocities never seen during Muslim rules.

Answer 7

Sure, and, yes, we are saved by Him.

Praise the Lord! :)


But we musn't live oblivious to reality- we must work for a better future on earth as well.

Answer 8

Exodus 34:27,28 states, "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.'...And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant--the Ten Commandments."

The Bible is full of countless prophecies, that obviously came true, because history shows faith rose from prophecies that came to pass...

For example: Holy Scriptures name an enemy King, "Cyrus", who would (and generations later DID) release the captive Israel population. This was prophesied BOTH long before they were defeated in war and captured in the first place, and long before Cyrus was even born.

It is impossible to explain the reliable fulfillment of many biblical prophecies if one tries to deny the Holy inspiration of the Scriptures.

Jesus Christ, Divine Himself, attested to the Holy Spirit's inspiration of the Old Testament Scriptures.

Christ made many references to the Old Testament scriptures during his ministry. His statements attesting to the divine source!

The authors of the individual books of the Bible were--for the most part-individuals whose authority was attested to by great works from God.

In the Old Testament, Moses, Joshua, Solomon, and Jeremiah were just a few individuals whose service for God was attested to by great miracles.

In the New Testament, the ministry of the apostle Paul and the original disciples of Christ--and their associates--was conducted amidst many confirming signs and wonders.

2 Peter writes, "...our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures ... (2 Peter 3:16)."

As we see from other historic evidences, already by the early part of the second century--when people were still alive who would have personally known Paul--the writings of Paul were collected together and circulated under one cover (commonly called the "Apostolos") with Paul's authorship acknowledged explicitly.

We know that St Paul, himself wrote the letters attributed to him, the same way we know that Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address! There were people who personally knew Paul, as with Lincoln, who vouched for the authorship

The Bible was written by individuals whose trustworthiness as representatives of God was established by the power of God in their ministry with "wonders"!

Scripture statements miraculously display a knowledge of science, far in advance of what was known at the time.

The authors themselves testified that what they wrote came straight from God. They stated that they were passing on revelation "directly from God". (example: 2 Timothy 3:16).

In Isaiah 40:22, it states that "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth." However, until relatively recently, it was generally understood that the earth was flat.

Further, in the book of Job it is written, "He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing (Job 26:7). " Here we have a clear statement that the earth hangs suspended in space, far removed from the picture of Greek mythology where Atlas held the earth on his shoulders. How does one explain a statement like this?

Leviticus 17:11 says "the life of the creature is in the blood."

A scientist, William Harvey took these words at face value and devoted his investigations to demonstrating that this Leviticus 17:11 biblical matter-offact statement was literally true.

We now take these words as statements of obvious scientific truth--but they predated their scientific confirmation by approximately two thousand years!

The Bible is not a scientific textbook. But when it speaks on matters that touch on science, it is without exception scientifically accurate, even when the respective scientific knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later.

I've just touched on the tip of the iceburg! Whole books have been written on correct scientific Bible claims only God would have known.

If "experts" say they've found unproven statements, you can bet those truths will also be explained by scientific discoveries in the future.

Answer 9

Yes. I believe.

Answer 10

Maybe you need to study a little history of your religion.

If you want to learn about the subject without having to sort through a lot of anonymous answers by strangers, about whom you know nothing, including whether they know anything, there's a way to learn.

The reading list below can act as a source for you. Most of the titles can be found in your local library. If they don't have them they can borrow them from another library.
