Resumo de The Bible A Mystery

The Bible is the number one best-seller of all time. Is it
mere superstition?the uninspired work of men? Or is it simply Hebrew and Greek literature?perhaps
only useful as a history book? The Bible purports to be the Word of God. Must
its authority be accepted on faith? Can its divine authority be demonstrated?
Here is proof of the Bible! The Bible has been called the book of books and has
long been the world?s best seller. Most people have one?and the family Bible is
a cherished possession in many households. Our family Bible dates to the
mid-to-late 1700s.Then why does this best-selling book remain a mystery to so
many?with few even professing to understand it? And why is it that most Bibles
are used as a showpiece, lying unopened, gathering dust? Many actively try to discredit
the Bible, while others treat it with passive indifference. Still others hold
it in awe?believing on faith that it is divinely inspired. They seem to require
no proof of this, yet lack the necessary conviction to truly believe and practice
its words in times of great stress and personal trial. But can one actually
prove the Bible? This is a huge question! Justas most never seek to prove the
existence of God, most never concern themselves with proving the authority of
the Bible. They either have no interest in such proof or they assume there is
none?that it cannot be done! What about you? Have you taken the time to seek
actual, tangible proof of the Bible?s authority? As with the existence of God,
have you been taught that you must accept it on faith? Most people are never
challenged to find real proof that the Bible is the inspired record of a
Supreme Being. Circumstances rarely force people to undertake such a task. This
is probably the single biggest reason that most never does. While irregularly
?went to church? when growing up, I was never required, nor felt compelled, to
prove either that God exists or that He authored the Bible. Nor was any proof
of these ever given or offered to me! And not one person ever suggested to me
that I should even be concerned with proving the answers to these two looming questions.
Stop and think for a moment! Let?s apply basic logic. What kind of God would
write an Instruction Book about how to live, command that it be followed as His
Word and then offer no proof that it is? It insults whoever is God to even
believe Him capable of such inconsistency?and unfairness! On what basis would
He?or even could He?require obedience to such an Instruction Book, if He left
no proofs that it was authentic?
