The Bible was written thousands of years ago. No one knows who started it. It has been altered severely over the centuries with books added and deleted - new translations and interpretations - many new versions - and worshiped as a holy book. The myth is that in spite of all this, God has a hand in the evolution of the Bible and it is still "God's Word" and is 100% correct. God is - of course - all powerful - all knowing - perfect in every way - and therefore must have had a hand in protecting the integrity of his work. And that must also apply, I suppose, to at least most all translations and interpretations - even if they appear to contradict each other and the laws of physics. But is there a way - assuming an infinitely powerful God - to determine if the Bible is real or not? Sure there is. Lets apply some logic here.
Let's take the Bible literally at it's word and make the following assumptions:
- God is Good - would never do anything bad.
- God is all powerful and can do anything. Example: God created everything.
- God is everywhere and knows everything - even the future.
- The Bible is the Word of God.
So - taking this into account and also taking into account miracles and other such things, what can we conclude? And - how do we know that this isn't outside our understanding - or that I am being controlled by Satan and that what I'm writing is the work of the Devil. After all - maybe Satan is using me to get to you to try to pull you away from faith in Jesus and into a life of Sin and eternal damnation where your soul will burn in Hell for eternity! If you really believe that, you should close this browser window right now to protect yourself from my evil words and pray for forgiveness for visiting my site in the first place. Since I am not a Christian then I am clearly under the influence of Satan and you shouldn't be reading this. So don't read anything below the next line because it will be the Devil trying to steal your soul and it's a sin to expose yourself to this kind of Satanic temptation.
