Who Penned the Bible?

 So far I have built a logical case for the truth of Christianity, which Is based on the Bible. By providing evidences from scientific

observations.  I have shown God's existence. 2) By showing the textual and historical reliability I have proved the accounts in the Bible are genuine and can be trusted. And 3) by analyzing Jesus; life, His miracles, the fulfillment of Messianic prophecies and, most of all, the historical truth of the resurrection, we must logically concluded that Jesus indeed is the divine Son of God, and the Bible is to believe as inspired by God The dramatic importance of these conclusions makes it only prudent to take an additional step of verification. Christianity not only claims the Bible is grounded in history,

 

it also claims it is the actual Word of God. That is, the Bible is God's revelation to man. It contains His instructions to us, written in a manner understandable to men and women alike. And because we have failed (and will continue to fail) to perfectly obey His commands, He has also revealed His plan to save us from His just wrath through the

sacrifice and blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.  When I discussed the evidences for God's existence, I revealed; that recent scientific

discoveries in astrobiology, molecular biology, and genetics reveal the work of design by a Creator. Once again, Christians can turn to science to discover that the texts of the Bible reveal scientific knowledge known only in recent times; therefore it was wholly unknown to the authors when the Bible was written.

 

Who penned the Bible?

Now I would like to make it clear that the Bible is clear about its claims to divine inspiration. By Hearing the testimonies of both Old Testament and New Testament writers: Here are just a few references. Moses: And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you (Exodus 3:14) Joshua: After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, The Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses aide: (Joshua 1:1).The prophet Samuel: And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I am to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle (1 Samuel 3:11). King David: The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; His word was on my tongue (2 Samuel 23:2).

The prophet Isaiah: The Lord Almighty has revealed this in my hearing: Till your dying day this sin will not be atoned for, says the Lord, the Lord Almighty (Isaiah 22:14). The prophet Jeremiah: This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: This is what the Lord, the God of Israel , says: Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you (Jeremiah 30:1-2).  

The apostle Peter: In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) and said, Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus (Acts 1:15-16).The apostle Paul: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16. The apostle John: I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who

is to come, the Almighty  Revelation 1:8. So the Bible is boldly and Unambiguous when it claims to be the Word of God. Impressive, true, but is there external evidence for this?

 

Question then, How Does One Prove Divine Inspiration? 

It is one thing to claim divine inspiration and quite another matter to prove it. After all, this is a rather outrageous claim. Obviously it will be insufficient to say that merely because the Bible is historically reliable and claims to be the Word of God; it therefore is the Word of God. No, we need more solid and objective evidences. After all, there are other books, such as the Quran and the Book of Mormon that claim to be the Word of God, and yet they contradict and even discredit the Bible. God cannot contradict Himself, and His Word cannot contradict itself. Therefore only one of these books can  at best  be the Word of God. Convincing and compelling evidence that the Bible is God;s Word will also implicitly demonstrate that other holy books cannot be Gods Word. Fortunately, the Lord has give  multiple confirmations of the divine authority of His Word. And as with the evidences previously discussed, once again, modern day discoveries, knowledge and science are our allies in this search for the truth. In this section, I discussed proof for God's inspiration of Scriptures unknown to many of the generations before us! These evidences are grouped into the following categories: Scientific revelations: The Bible reveals knowledge and scientific insights beyond anything the Biblical author could have known at the time of writing.

 

Prophecies:

The Bible Predicts events that are accurately fulfilled later in history. Unity: Written throughout 15 centuries by more than 40 authors, the Bible presents one, and only one plan for salvation through Christ from the just wrath of God.  Ability to transform lives: Like no other book, the Bible continues to have the power to radically transform the lives of its readers many times instantly. Testimony of Christ: The Bible is declared to be the Word of God by the Son of God. Now at this point an intelligent person must make a decision to Acknowledge all the evidence or to reject them. I have talked to many people who make the claim that men wrote the Bible, but this does not follow logically with historical, geographical, prophetic, and Scientific accuracy that is revealed in God's words the Bible.  The sad fact about those who make this claim is that they have not personally taken the time and effort to investigate for themselves.  Since the God's words clearly states that we have been given a personal choice to either accept the free gift of eternal life or reject it.  God did not give us a neutral or middle of the road selection.  God's word clearly uses the word if, in regards to our eternal destination. We cannot sit on the fence we must either acknowledge that we are sinners in need of a savior (Jesus Christ) or reject His salvation. Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 1st John 1:5-10

 

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. if we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. God declares, and clearly says that there is not one Good person in his eyes; Romans 3:12 all have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one.

 

 Romans 3:23 ;for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God My beloved sister, after you have thoroughly tested all the evidence I have provided, I believe you will find that it is accurate. there is a conscience decision all of us have to make.   we can return the love that god has offered us or reject this love. there is no middle road however; god has not left that option open to us. so chose we must, one road or the other. there is only one path that leads to God .

 

 Acts 4:12; Acts 10:43 John 14:6; 1st Timothy 2:5, Acts 4:11 he is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone Acts 4:12 salvations is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind, by which we must be saved. John 14:6 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. no one comes to the father except through Me.  I Corinthians 10:21 you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. Matthew 12:30" he who is not with me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

 

We are to test everything In 1st Thess. 5:12 tell us to examine or test everything carefully hold fast to that which is good. the Berea in acts 17:10-12 were commended because they examined the scriptures daily to see whether Paul's statements were accurate and in accord with scriptures. Then we must make a choice to follow our way or God's way Intellectual excusesThus, the rejection of the bible as God's inspired words, and rejecting Christ's only way of eternal salvation, is often not so much of the" mind," but of the" will;" not so much "I can't," but "I won't."  Once again God has given us all a free will to either accept Him or reject Him. There is no middle road or I will take my chances road.

 A question for you the reader of this article, which road will you chose?
