The Bible is not the word of God but the words of men who claim they were inspired by God to write the Biblical books.____Mr. Rong-Rong Wrong Jr.
That up there is False.
That up there is wrong, Mr. Rong-Rong Wrong Jr.
The Bible is the word of God.
Here below are 16 Bible verses that teach that the Bible is the word of God.
____________________________________
1 Peter 1:23-25
"For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the LORD endures forever. And this is the word that was preached to you."
JAG Note: Here Peter says that the word that was preached to his listeners {and perhaps readers} was the word of the LORD.
____________________________
1 Thessalonians 2:13
"And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe."
JAG Note: This is a clear and bold affirmation from the Apostle Paul that the message of the Apostles is the word of God.
___________________________
2 Peter 3:16
"He {Paul} writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."
JAG Note: Here Peter seems to be thinking of Paul's writings as also being the Holy "Scriptures." And now we KNOW that they are.
_____________________________
Acts 17:11
"Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."
JAG Note: The writer of Acts views the Scriptures as having authority to settle questions about doctrinal issues.
________________________________
Colossians 3:16
"Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts."
JAG Note: The message of Christ is found in Gods word the Bible and especially found in the New testament.
_______________________________
Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
_______________________________
Isaiah 55:11
"So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
____________________________________
John 5:39-40
"You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life."
JAG Note: Here the Lord Jesus says that the Old Testament Scriptures testify about Him.
____________________________________
John 17:17
"Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth."
_________________________________
Luke 11:28 "He replied, Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
________________________________
Luke 24:44-49
"He said to them, This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms. Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
JAG Note: {1} The Lord Jesus here presents the Scriptures as having authority. {2} Also notice "the forgiveness of sins will preached in his name to all nations" So? So you can connect Luke 24:44-49 with the Lord Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20 "go and make disciples of all nations"
____________________________________
Matthew 4: 4
"Jesus answered, It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
JAG Note: See the whole passage Matthew 4:1 -11 for 2 more references to "it is written" that is, written in the Holy Scriptures.
___________________________________
Revelation 1: 1- 3
"The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he sawthat is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."
___________________________________
Romans 10:17
"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ."
_____________________________________
James 1: 22-25
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in itnot forgetting what they have heard, but doing itthey will be blessed in what they do."
______________________________________
2 Timothy 3:14-17
"But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
JAG Note:
Note the particulars from 2 Timothy 3:14-17
{1} Timothy knew the Scriptures when he was young
{2} the Scriptures were Holy
{3} they were able to make Timothy wise
{4} wise for salvation
{5} salvation through faith in Christ Jesus
{6} the Scriptures are God-breathed
{7} all of them are God-breathed {not just some of them}
{8} the Scriptures are useful for:
~ teaching
~ rebuking
~ correcting
~ training in righteousness
{9} so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped {100%}
{10} for every good work {not just some good work}

Two Tolkien quotes for you:
I wish it need not have happened in my time,”
said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who
live to see such times. But that is not for
them to decide. All we have to decide is
what to do with the time that is given
us.”___J.R.R. Tolkien
_______
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
___J.R.R. Tolkien
That Gandalf quote is very like a line from the movie “Zulu”, where the terrified young soldier asks his sergeant, “Why us?” as they are totally surrounded and outnumbered. The sergeant’s answer was, “Because we’re here, lad, because we’re here.”
I'm certainly glad that no false scripture ever claims to be true![/sarcasm]
“So . . . if someone doesn’t believe in the Bible, just quote it, and that proves it???
I’m certainly glad that no false scripture ever claims to be true![/sarcasm]”___Zionist Conspirator
_____
Regarding the Bible:
* You’re so concerning about NOT just quoting it.
* So what are you waiting for?
* Get busy.
* The Internet is packed with arguments
in support of the Bible being the true word
of God. {And it IS the true word of God}
* So go get them and post them up here in this thread.
{Maybe you can mix in some of your sarcasm}
* But whadda ya gonna do when your opponents
tell you that what you present as proof is a
bunch of hogwash?
* And people who are against God and against
His word the Bible usually tell you EXACTLY that.
* Anyway, don’t waste your time talking to me.
* Use that time to go get some
proof-to-your-liking
that the Bible is true.
* And post it in this thread.
* You’re the one concerned about it.
So you go do it.
* I hope all that goes good for you.

____
* I remember that line from Zulu very well.
* You’re so right about the two quotes
being very much alike.
* Thanks for your comment.
* It brought back memories.
I have viewed Zulu probably 6 or 7 times
in my life.
