Do You Know This Bible?

Did you know about the Bible that…? There are many things to say about the Bible, a lot. It is almost inexhaustible. This article seeks to focus on the facts about the Bible that may not necessarily be spiritual, but true with available facts.

In the book of Acts 1:3 “To whom also He shewed Himself alive after many INFALLIBLE proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:”

I already imagine that there’ll be sequels to this article.

Faith. Faith does have purpose, and value, and it can be used intellectually. Based off of that foreground, let us begin this journey into Biblical facts that, hopefully would strengthen our conviction in God.

The Bible:

The Bible is not a book, like many would refer to any other book. The Bible is a collection of 66 books, written by over 40 authors!

The Bible was not written in 1611 like some people ignorantly and erroneously claim. What happened in 1611 was the publishing of the Bible, the Authorized Version of the King James version, also known as the KJV. It was translated from the original Greek into the English version.

I believe in God. A lot of people do not believe in God, and that’s OK. God has given every man a free will and choice.

The Bible was written over a period of 1500 years. There’s never been a book like that. That the Bible as written over a 1500 years period dent make it the Word of God. No. it just makes it worth considering, because there’s never been nothing like it. It gives you a reason over many others.

Historically:

Archeologists have been using the Bible, both the old and new testament to search for and find places, things, place, civilization, buildings, people, kings, etc of over hundreds of years ago, that otherwise didn’t exist, but the Bible said they did, and they were dug and discovered to exist. There they were. Does this make the Bible the Word of God? No. It is historically accurate. People really existed and did write down what they saw. It is way worth considering, the Bible.

Jesus:

Well, many doubted God, still do. God from the first book of the Bible spoke of His coming to the earth, among other over three hundred accurate prophecies. God, Who exists beyond space, time and matter came down on earth to fulfill over three hundred prophecies. Jesus did! Never happened in all of civilization.

Well, some said that the Old Testament Bible must have been written after the birth of Christ. Now, the first Greek translation was done over two hundred and fifty years before the birth of Jesus Christ. How could it have captured over three hundred prophecies that were all precisely fulfilled – Jesus’ birth at Bethlehem, betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, crucifixion – before there ever crucifixion became a capital punishment. Does this make the Bible the Word of God? No. But it is starting to get really close. Some believe in Jesus, some others don’t. And like is I stated from the beginning that’s OK, that’s how humans are, because God has given man the right of choice and free will.

Jesus said He was going to die and be resurrected, and he did. Nobody’s ever done that before. Ever.

Then the disciples of over three years of walking with Jesus deserted Him, like He said, and like any of us would. But shortly thereafter, they all assembled again, waiting for His promise of the Holy Spirit. And all twelve of Jesus’ disciples died for Him as martyrs. Why would they do that!?

The disciples of Jesus died for one reason; THEY SAW Jesus DIE, AND THEY SAW HIM RESURRECT!

Never a man accepted and chose to die for any eternal cause in all of history – not to kill, or to be used to hurt or kill another, as far as God and Christ is concerned. Millions have died for their Christian faith, persecuted for their belief, yet, ever so willing to die. And die they did, gladly and joyfully!

The Bible helps to prove the fact of God’s true existence beyond any reasonable doubt in all history. Glory be to God through Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!
