Ok and i wanted to contact you truth WHY YOU CAN TRUST THE BIBLE some people say the bible is unreliable and their views have gained wide acceptance thus many to day dismiss what the bible says as untrustworthy on the other hand what jesus christ said in prayer to GOD promotes trus your word is truth and the bible itself claims tobe inspired by GOD what do you think about this ?is ther sound basis for trusthing the bible ? or is ther really evidence that the bible is unreliable that it contradicts itself and is inconsisternt DOES IT CONTRADICTS ITSELF while some may claim the bible contradicts itself has anyone ever show you and actual example? We have never seen one that could withstand scrutiny true, there may appear to be discrepancies in certain bible accounts. But the poblem usually is lack of knowledge regarding details and circumstances of the times. For example, some peasons will draw attention to what they consider a discrepancy in the bible, asking: where did cain get his wife? The assumption is that Cain and eve But the assumption is based on a misunder standing of what the bible says the bible explains that adam became father to sons and daughters. Thus Cain married one of his sister or possibly ofter critics are just looking for contradiction and so may declare the bible writer matthew says that an army officer came to ask jesus afavor while luke says that representatives were sent to ask which one is correct? But is this really a contradiction? When the activity or work of people is credited to the one who is actually responsible for it a reason able person does not claim a discrepancy for example, doyou consider a report to be in error that says amayor built a road even though the atually building of the road was done by his engineers and laborers? Of course not similarly, it is not inconsistert for matthew to say that the army office made a request of jesus but. As luke writes, that such a request was made through certain representatives. As more detaild are known appareent discre pancies in the bible disappear. HISTORY and Science the historical accuracy of the bible was once widely doubted critics for example ,questioned the existence of such bible characters as king sargon of assyria belshazzar of babylonand the Roman governor pontius pilate But recent discoveries have verified one bible account after another thus historian moshe pearlman wrote suddenly , sceptics who had doubted the authenticity even of the historical parts of the old testament began to revise their views if we are to trust the bible, it must also be accuratein matters of science is it? Not long ago scientists, In contradiction of the bible, asserted that the universe had no beginning. However, astronnomer Robert jastrow recently pointed to newer information that retogether THE RESULTS ALREADY ACHIEVED CONFIRM WHAT FAITH WOULD SUGGEST, THAT THE BIBLE CAN DO NOTHING BUT GAIN FROM AN INCREASE OF KNOWLEDGE futes this,explainning: Now we see how the astronnomical evidence leads to a biblical view of the origin of the world the details differ, but the essential elements in the astronnomcal and biblical accounts of genesis are the same genesis men have also changed their view relative to the shape of the earth voyages of discovery , explains the world book encyclopedia, showed that the world was round not flat as most people had believed, But the bible was correct all along more than 2,000 years before those voyages, the bible said at isaiah 40:22:there is one who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, or as other traslations say the globe of the earth (douay), the round earth (moffatt) thus the more humans learn the greater the evidence is that the bible can be trusted.A former director of the british museum , sir frederic kenyon wrote: the results already achieved confirm what faith would suggest, that the bible can do nothing but gain from an increase of knowledge . FORETELLING THE FUTURE But can we really truth the bible’s forecasts for the future, including its promises of a’righteous new for example ,the bible foretold the overthrow of mighty babylon nearly 200 years before it happened in fact, the medes, who became aligned with the persians, were named as the conquerors. And although cyrus, the persians king, had not even been born as yet, the bible foretold that he would be prominent inthe conquests. It said that babylon‘s promtecting waters, the river euphrates, must be dried up, and that gates of babylon will not be shut--- jeremiah 50:38, these specific details were fulfilled, as the historian herodotus reported further, the bible foretold that ,re you for there for JESUS or you they of order?
