Yet the strongest argument for the authenticity of the Scriptures is the fact of fulfilled prophecy. This is truly the nail in the coffin when it comes to whether or not the Bible is truly the Word of God. Isaiah 46:9-10 says "I am God and there is no other, I am God and there is noone like Me, I declare the end from the beginning." So God says He declares what is to come, the future. Do we see this in the Bible. Isaiah 45 names King Cyrus by name 200 years before he was even born. The Dead Sea Scrolls prove that Isaiah wrote that before and not after Cyrus came to power. Ezekiel 26 God says that the city of Tyre would never again be rebuilt and the only thing it would be used for is to dry fishing nets, the very purpose it is used today!! Psalm 22 is a Messianic Psalm, it mentions some of the last words Jesus spoke from the cross "My God My God why have Thou forsaken Me?" It says they divide My clothes and cast lots for them, this Psalm says dogs have surrounded Me (speaking of Gentiles), it says they have pierced My hands and My feet. This was written 1100 years before Christ came to this earth. It was written 800 years before crucifixion was even practiced and yet it says they have pierced My hands and My feet. Micah 5:2 says Christ would be born in Bethlehem, Zecheriah 12:10 says they will look on Me whom they have pierced. All written before Christ came into the earth.
Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophecies when He lived here on the earth. The mathematical odds for Jesus to fulfill 7, (keep in mind He fulfilled 100's) would be the same odds as you someone covering the entire earth in 4x4 white tiles. Hiding a gold star under one of them, and you walking up on the very 1st try and finding that gold star. By the way, you are blindfolded!! This would absolutely be impossible, think about the mathematical odds of Jesus fulfilling all the prophecies that He did!! It would be impossible yet with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
I repeat there has never been one archeological find that disproves the Bible!! That is a pretty good track record.
ReplyDeletePretty good track record? Too funny. Just because someone cannot disprove something doesn't automatically make your stance correct. And the geological "evidence" you think people have found may have supported some historical events, BUT they do not prove that your god exist. Only proves that bits of history are documented here and there as in most literature of the era in which it was written during and in the past. But the Bible has a lot of embellishment, just as all the other world mythologies and their outrageous stories.
Now back to this "prove" argument. It is up to the person making the claim to provide evidence that proves your mythology book is true and that a god exists. It is not up to the atheist to prove that something does not exist. It is impossible. You are also wasting time with this. Any intelligent Christian will acknowledge that the existence of their god cannot be proven and the events in the Bible cannot be proven or disproven. It's a matter of faith. Theology. Nothing to do with science.
yea but if we can, in 50 years, advance so much in the world. Then prove and disprove so many things that most scientists today are simply on another level entirely with their intelligence. Then why in the world has it taken more thatn 3000 years to disprove the bible which, by the way, has yet to be disproven. Even once. Then you made no attempt to argue with the whole probability of Jesus fulfililng all the prophecies.
ReplyDeleteEverything that has ever happened and ever will happen is predicted you simply have to watch for it. Also, atheists, agnostics, and anyone else with the slightest standpoint on anything must have faith they are right.
