Here to Serve: Hollllar!!! you are totally right.
John 1
John 5: 39

Answer 1

Who is the Word but Jesus!

Answer 2

Yes, without a doubt whatsoever. As it tells us in the Book of 2 Peter, Chapter 1, verse 21, holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit of God, to write the Word of God. The Bible has proven itself over and over again, and it will stand forever and ever. You can always count on anything that you read in the Holy Bible, to be truth. You can never go wrong as long as you allow the Word of God to be your guide.

Answer 3

There are a number of people who believe it is, but I'm not among them. In my view, the Bible is a book cobbled together out of a collection of folk tales and traditions and put in the hand of the priestly class by the governing class as a means of garnering support for governmental programs and plans.

In the 7th Century BCE, King Josiah of Judea directed his servants to renovate the temple. During the renovation the priests "discovered" texts which lent support to Josiah's imperial ambitions.

In the 4th Century, CE, Constantine, the emperor of Rome courted the Christians as a means of unifying the citizenship of Rome in support of his claims to the throne.

The phrase that comes to mind is Jared Diamond's "religion in service to kleptocracy."

Answer 4

Yes it is, but a hundred different people can read it and get a hundred different conclusions about it. That is not God's fault, it is man's fault.

God said that His Word is foolishness to those who do not have the Holy Spirit to interpret His Word, so many will read His Word and believe it says something entirely different than God intended it to say.

Answer 5

Depends on what translation you're reading. if you do not (acceptable translation or version) believe, then read it and see by yourself if it is only a natural man has written it, without the inspiration of God.

For no way a natural man can write such profound writing if there is no divine intervention! Also, when you read and you're not with the Spirit of God, then you can't appreciate it's value and content. That's why most people who truly do not believe it's from God, donot really understand what they're reading for they're reading with their carnal mind, without the help of the Holy Spirit from God! Amen.

Answer 6

Yes, the Bible is the word of God.

Answer 7

All I know now for sure is that The Laws of Moses written down in the books of Exodus and Leviticus contain highly advanced scientific instructions from someone 3500 years before any human would have learned some of that scientific knowledge to write these advanced scientific laws and instructions. If know one on Earth could have wrote this then who did?

Answer 8

I believe it to be. I believe that the Holy Spirit of God moved upon the men who wrote it and that God had protected His Word. I believe that god's Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts through pray and study of Gods Holy Word.
From the Old Testament alone, more than 2000 specific prophesies have been fulfilled.
No other so called Holy book compares.Most of the 333 prophesies concerning the Messiah were fulfilled by the birth and life of Jesus Christ and the rest will be fulfilled at His second coming. A mathematician, Peter Stoner, had his graduate students calculate what the odds would be of any one person fulfilling just eight of these prophesies. He found the chance was one in 100,000,000,000,000,000 !Only a God who knows the future could have revealed these prophesies to those that He would have record them in His Word.

In spite of what is being taught today, the truth is we can reconstruct most of the life of Jesus Christ through non - Christian writers of the first century. Even Celsus who despised Christianity, never considered claiming that Jesus Christ did not exist.This is what can be learned from the writing of Celsus...

He was born of a virgin in a small village of Judea;
He was adored by wise men;
His birth was followed by the slaughter of infants by order of Herod;
He took flight to Egypt, where Celsus supposed Christ learned the charms of the Magicians;
After returning, He resided in Nazareth;He was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a voice was heard from heaven;
He elected disciples;
He was a friend with publicans and other low people;
He cured the lame and blind;
He raised people from the dead;
He was betrayed by Judas;
He was denied by Peter;
In addition Celsus refers to several details of Christ's passion, crucifiction, and resurrection.

Twenty seven books of the New Testament, nineteen Pagan writers, and three Jewish writers testify to Jesus Christ's historical reality. When I hear people say that Jesus or the Bible is just a myth I just realise that they are simply unaware of the facts.I recommend The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel and or Skeptics Answered or The Gate Of Hell Shall Not Prevail by D. James Kennedy, and The Signature of God by Grant R. Jeffrey. May all your thoughts be taken captive by the Holy Spirit. Amen.
