Is the Bible God's Word
Dr. W. Graham Scroggie of the MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE, Chicago, one of the most prestigious Christian Evangelical Mission in the world, answering the question — "Is the Bible the Word of God?" (also the title of his book), under the heading: IT IS HUMAN, YET DIVINE. He says on page 17:
"Yes, the Bible is human, though some, out of zeal which is not according to knowledge, 1 have denied this. Those books2 have passed through the minds of men, are written in the language of men, were penned by the hands of men, and bear in their style the characteristics of men." (Emphasis added).

IS THE BIBLE GOD'S WORD? - By Ahmed Deedat
The Holy Bible is the representation of GOD into this world, it is passed into Man, an imperfect being very much, capable of thinking, loving GOD, following GOD's words, can deduce which is right and wrong through his suppose intellect, but very much inclined to blunder.
As inherit to man's shortcomings it does not deprive the book through appellation that it is the source of GOD's words and should be venerated with the most possible love and respect.

The BIBLE is the greatest story ever told ....FICTION!![]()
The very foundation of my Christian spiritual life, something that could not be verified and explained on the scientific and physical life.......
That's why it's called " Faith." -- Believing without seeing; Hoping for things to happen ...
I just have faith.. i dont care about contradictions...
faith, its called blind faith.
i urge everyone to watch religulous by that genius bill maher.
Blind faith is worldly a delusion of Godlessnes, and ignorance of the scriputures.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
It takes more faith to believe in Evolution or Chance statistically than a God who intelligently designed them.
hahaha.makatawa ako ani na thread dah. I can rememeber Einstein perfectly.
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and…..
> Prof: So you believe in God?
>
> Student: Absolutely, sir.
>
> Prof: Is God good?
>
> Student: Sure.
>
> Prof: Is God all-powerful?
>
> Student : Yes.
>
> Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?
>
> (Student is silent.)
>
> Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
>
> Student :Yes.
>
> Prof: Is Satan good?
>
> Student : No.
>
> Prof: Where does Satan come from?
>
> Student : From…God…
>
> Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
>
> Student : Yes.
>
> Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
>
> Student : Yes.
>
> Prof: So who created evil?
>
> (Student does not answer.)
>
> Prof: Is there sickness? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
>
> Student :Yes, sir.
>
> Prof: So, who created them?
>
> (Student has no answer.)
>
> Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?
>
> Student : No, sir.
>
> Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
>
> Student : No , sir.
>
> Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
>
> Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
>
> Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
>
> Student : Yes.
>
> Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
>
> Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
>
> Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
>
> Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
>
> Prof: Yes.
>
> Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
>
> Prof: Yes.
>
> Student : No sir. There isn’t.
>
> (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
>
> Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
>
> (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
>
> Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
>
> Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
>
> Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light…. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
>
> Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
>
> Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
>
> Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
>
> Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
>
> Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
>
> Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
>
> (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
>
> Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this
> process is an on-going, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
>
> (The class is in uproar.)
>
> Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
>
> (The class breaks out into laughter.)
>
> Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?…..No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical,stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
>
> (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
>
> Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
>
> Student : That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving &
> alive.

> You know who this young man was ?
