The Bible is God’s word, and it can be demonstrated far beyond any doubt, that the book was not written by mere men.

There is no evidence to support this assertion. The Bible was written by men, that is fact. You have yet to demostrate this god you assert exists, let alone that it wrote down anything.

So, it records claims of Jesus, either what he said was 100% the truth or nothing he said is true.

As with all mythology, there is a modicum of basis in fact. Such is the way with myths and legends.

No one logically can pick and choose which things Christ said; that they will agree is true. There is no middle ground.

Which is precisely why it is 100% safe to reject all of it as superstitious nonsense.

Call me NOW!

Miss Cleo
Why do we NOT call her? Because we KNOW that there are charletans that take advantage of the simple. We don't want to be simple, therefore, we don't call her.
Now, if there is a BIG splash in the Media about how 'accurate' Miss Cleo is, we 'might' try to call (if none of our friends would not find out.)

So it is with the Scripture. IF there were just SOME past prophecy that had come true, we might be tempted to check........

Nah, that's crazy........

There is no evidence to support this assertion.

The assertion is that the Bible was written by G-d. Actually, the true assertion is that the Bible was inspired by G-d. The challenge is that the Bible is mere mythology. However, anyone who has studied literary types knows the Bible is not mythology. It is 66 books written by 40 different writers from all walks of life. There is history, persuasion, and poetry. There is no mythology.

There are many things in the Bible that defy any other explanation than that it is inspired by G-d. Predicting the future is one thing. Scientific information that was not discovered by science for centuries is another.

But the real reason to trust the Bible is that it bears witness to Jesus Christ, G-d's Son, who died that we may live. Jesus redeemed us from our bondage to sin so that we could become the free sons of G-d. Jesus bears witness to the Father, the Bible bears witness to Jesus. For this reason, if for no other, the Bible is reliable.

It would help if you got to know Jesus. Do you know Him?

Shalom.
