Firstly, thank you for your compliment...Hi Matthew,<br />Firstly, thank you for your compliments. One of the best you've read on my blog?! Wow, thanks. <br />Haha, I'm not actually sure if I would place you in the class of someone with slightly funny theology. Perhaps, perhaps. :P <br />How do I know that the Bible is God's inspired Word? Because of 2 Timothy 3:16. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousnes...."<br />Now I completely get that if there was someone who doesn't believe the Bible is God's word, then a Bible verse telling that it is in fact God's word isn't going to hold much weight. But that's all good because there are lots of outside reasons for believing the Bible is God's inspired word as well.<br /><br />1. Manuscript evidence ("There is no body of ancient literature in the world which enjoys such a wealth of textual attestation as the New Testament" - F.F. Bruce)<br />2. Archeological evidence<br />3. Eyewitness accounts (Many of the men who saw Jesus and wrote about Him were murdered for their faith. Would you die for something you knew was untrue?)<br />4. Corroborating accounts<br />5. Literary consistency (66 books by 40 different writers written over 1,500 years and is completely consistent)<br />6. Prophetic consistency<br />7. Expert scrutiny<br />8. Global influence<br />9. Changed lives (the words of the Bible have transformed lives unmistakeably and forever)<br /><br />God bless you too!

I especially like what you say about God and Truth being synonyms. So true. A Bible verse that also points this out would be John 14:6.<br />So yeah, a really good job. :)<br /><br />Since I'm a Catholic (and probably someone you may consider with a slightly funny theology, hehehe :P), there was one thing I was wondering about in what you said, so hopefully you don't mind me asking you a kinda "Catholic" question.<br /><br />You said "if you don't believe the Bible is true then where does that leave you? It is hard to believe in God while not trusting in his very Word!"<br /><br />My question for you would be, How do you know that the Bible *is* God's inspired Word?<br /><br />Now I totally agree with you that the Bible is God's inspired Word and that we have to absolutely trust everything it says as inspired by God, and I have reasons why I believe that. But I'm wondering what your reasons would be for believing that.<br /><br />So yeah, that's my question. :)<br /><br />Again, excellent post and God Bless. :)<br /><br />-Matthew M<br /><br />Matthew Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093067402145492310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-45178631161794172412016-02-24T09:27:22.513+13:002016-02-24T09:27:22.513+13:00This is a really great post bonnie!
