There is a God.
The human soul demands a God. Even Atheists know in their hearts there is a God, though they lie to themselves saying they don't.
That is why they get so upset at the mention of God. They don’t get mad at the mention of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth fairy, Buddha, Mohamed, or any other religious or fictional character.
Only the Christian God angers them.
This tells me that in their heart, they know He is true.
In fact their very assertion that if there was a God "He wouldn’t allow evil in the world" acknowledges that they know good and evil in their hearts, a sign of the design of God Himself.
Can we believe the Bible?
The Bible was written by eyewitnesses to the events they record. This is the gold standard for historical evidence. Any historical document that is written by eyewitnesses is taken for the truth.
No other document in the history of the world has been as thoroughly challenged, examined, torn apart, and criticized. Yet the Bible has NEVER been proven wrong.
There have been times when people claimed to have proven it wrong.
"King David never existed. He was just a legend".
Within two years of this statement, archeologists dug up his son's signet ring; positive, proof he did exist. They have said the same thing about Nineveh, Babylon, and the Hittites. Same results.
It almost looks like God is withholding the physical evidence until someone says something in the Bible doesn't exist and then He allows the remains to be discovered to make the scientists look like fools.
Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?
The fact is that, whether they like it or not, science is continually proving more and more of the Bible to be right.
Do you know why so many scientists refuse to believe in God?
If they believe in God, they must believe there is a right and a wrong. If there is a right and wrong then they must change their lives and their religion. Many scientists who have been challenged to honestly examine the real evidence of science have ended up giving their hearts to God. Others go to extreme lengths to continue to believe in their religion of Atheism.Ever heard the reasons an atheist scientist gives for why older fossil layers are often found on top of younger layers? It has to do with multi-thousand ton boulders playing leap frog over thousands of miles without leaving debris trails, skid marks or stress fractures. This is more logical than Noah's flood?!
If we can't believe the Bible, then we can't believe any other ancient document.
None of them can stand up to the same standards of examination. If the Bible isn't true, then Buddha, Confucius, Caesar, Hannibal, Justinian, Nero, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and many, many others never existed. There is no proof of their existence that even comes close to being as scientifically and historically reliable as the Bible.There are many prophecies in the Bible that have been fulfilled.
Only Someone who knew the beginning from the end could have told Isaiah that a man named Cyrus would send the Israelites back to their homeland…years before Cyrus was even born!Jeremiah prophesied that Judah would be in captivity for seventy years when they were first captured, and they were.
Joseph received interpretation of dreams that came true.
Daniel received and recorded several prophecies about the rise and fall of Babylon, Meda-Persia, Greece, Syria, and Rome in extreme detail, plus an exact time table for the time of the Messiah. All of this came true exactly as predicted.
The prophecies concerning Christ Himself are mathematically impossible for one man to fulfill (He shall come from Nazareth, come up from Egypt, come from Bethlehem for example) and yet Christ fulfilled EVERY ONE!
If the Bible is true historically and scientifically and its prophecies have proven true in the face of astronomical odds, there is no logical reason to doubt it spiritually.
We can believe.
