Professor Peter Stoner wrote in "Science Speaks" of the probability of just the 7 major prophecies of the Messiah coming to pass by mere happenstance. Professor Stoner was an expert in probability and statistics. He said it was 1 chance out of 1017 that the fulfillment of those prophecies was accidental. He then described that number. He said it was the same as filling Texas 3 feet deep with silver dollars, painting one of them blue, stiring them all about, and then having a blindfolded person given the chance to bend over and pick up a silver dollar. For it to be the blue silver dollar...that would be one chance out of 1017 silver dollars. In short it was not accidental. We hold the miraculous in our hands.
The “church” for a coupla centuries had no bibles..
Not that 99% of them could even read.. anyway...
OR needed to... “they” had no books..
The question is......... WHAT DID THEY HAVE?..
They had something... what was it.?..
A question as pertinent today as “THEN”..

So true, Sir! That the God Who Creates is so close as to speak through His written Word is indeed miraculous, and probably why the ones rejecting God are so determined to paint the Bible as flawed, mistranslated, transcription error filled, etc. To accept it as God’s Word would admit that He is able to have it just as He wants it for this Age.
Beautifully and truly said, dear brother in Christ!
