Is the Bible Reliable as a Historical Document?

A great defense from Lee Strobel on the reliability of the scriptures as literal "history". Listen to the points he makes regarding the details that the authors leave in their accounts/writings regarding what they saw and experienced.

These are not just a collection of stories one man created in his basement some years back and cleverly put together. It never fails when I'm debating someone and I bring up the bible, for them to say right away "but the bible was written by man", as though this is supposed to discredit it right off the bat. And while I won't disagree that man has some flaws and memory issues, this is a central point, worth noting, in that God gave man divine revelation and guidance from the Holy Spirit when he told man to "write this down...." If you want to discredit the bible, you should first ask yourself whether or not this collection of books is actually "inspired" or not. No Christian argues that man wrote the bible. What we argue is that it has been beautifully and accurately preserved for thousands of years. The book of Isaiah is dated to be around 800-1000 years before the time of Christ. So its worth it to point out the fact that he prophesied Jesus would be born of a virgin in Bethlehem and that he would "die on a tree" Now how would Isaiah know 800 years before Jesus was born that he would die of crucifixion even before the Romans invented it? Do you think Jesus was smart enough to plan where he would be born and the exact way he would die? Now that's clever. The truth is no man could ever make up what is written in scripture. The bible was written over a period of 1400-1600 years from 40 different authors over three different continents in three different languages and yet is in such harmony that it is as though one man did write it. In my opinion, this is exactly what one would find if a consistent (Hebrews 13:8) God was giving man divine inspiration.


This will always amaze me. And lets not forget that the bible mentioned historical and scientific facts long before man even discovered them. Job said the world was a "sphere" long before man did. Solomon described the hydraulic cycle man only discovered but a short time ago. There are quite a number of scientific facts in the bible. Enjoy the video

Louie Giglio - Laminin

Folks, this one is a real treat! Credit goes out to my good friend Doug for sending me this video and my faithful friend Kevin who first told me about the Laminin protein cell last year. It was incredible to see a bit of a bread crumb of God's signature on something so small. It will always baffle me how many can cavalierly accept the evolutionary theory without first checking out all the facts and so called evidences. And how none are presented with the holes and major problems with the theory, but only the theory itself and when it is presented, it's presented in such a way as though it's fact and shouldn't be questioned. Where is the academic freedom? Where is the free choice to go where the evidence leads?

One day, very soon, the Lord will return (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) And the bible says that every eye will see him and that when they do there will be great mourning (Rev 1:7) The bible says "Today" is the day of salvation. Don't put this off another day! Don't harden your hearts any longer (Hebrews 4:7) Forget what the "Left behind" series books say. There will not be a mass disappearance and then everyone left wondering what happened. "Every eye will see" declares the Word. And the scripture says that we will see Him coming on the clouds (Matt 24:30) I hope and pray that this video makes you think a little about the origins debate. If you accept evolution simply because the alternative is just unimaginable to you, then you're not being intellectually honest with yourself. Look into these things, it's worth it when thinking in the light of eternity. Eternity is such a long time folks. The bible has been tested time and time again and proven to be accurate and trustworthy in all that it says. So then why should we doubt it when it touches on Heaven and Hell? Please, I urge you to at least look into these things. This site only exist with the aim and goal to point people to Jesus, the only One who died and then rose again. (Evidence for the Resurrection)

Please stick with the video - After the first three minutes I guarantee you will be in for a wonderful treat.
