you can take your $20...!

Ok. So, there are three reasons why I believe that the whole of the Bible is the God-inspired Truth:

1.) Because it says so. Ok, so that seems sort of like a contradictory statement. If something that is debatable as truth says that it is truth, it's still up for debate. Follow? Here are a couple verses that support that the whole of the Bible is God-inspired and True: II Samuel 22:31, Psalm 12:6, Psalm 33:4, Proverbs 30: 5-6, and Hebrews 4:12.

2.) There's a bunch of historical evidence that supports the truth of the Bible more than any other historical document. (Archeological findings, the dead sea scrolls etc...) Several books were written about these findings including: "A Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel, "More than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell, and "Know why you Believe" by Paul E. Little.

3.) Because my life depends on it. Psalms. 118:8 says, "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man." Likewise, Micah 7:5-7 mentions: "Do not trust in a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend.....a man's enemies are the members of his own household." I cannot put my complete trust in any human being. Not even close friends or family. Mortal man cannot save. Money is even worse. A person cannot put any trust in money because it comes and goes...and he will never have enough. (See Ecclesiastes 5:10). And don't even try to mention power, drugs or sex. Other religions don't cut it either...yeah I respect them and all, but, unfortunitly for most people, they're false.

Ok, I plead my case. Nuff said.
