THE BIBLE,

a book of God? or just a book of men?

Some say "We can not believe the bible because it is written by men"
Let's disprove it.

All books are written by men.
In that sense, they must not trust all books. Do they really not trust all books? NO!!

It is absurd to insist that they can not believe the Bible because it was written by men.

It is true that the Bible was written by men, but not by their thoughts.

2 Peter 1/20~21 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the holy spirit.

We need to pay attention to the words, "men spoke from God"

Let's think of example where a rich man asked a lawyer to write his will instead of him.

The lawyer wrote down the rich man's will as the rich man spoke.

Then, who is the author of the will? rich man.
It is because the will contains the rich man's thoughts and words.

It is the same with the Bible
Although it was written by men, the bible contains God's will and words.

True Author of the Bible is God.

Therefore, you must not hastily judge that you cannot trust the Bible simply because it was written by men.

Then, how can we know that the Bible is the words of God?

Deuteronomy 18/21~22 You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?"
If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken.
That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him."

Take place, Come true. NO!! It is not God's words.
Take place, Come true. Yes!! It is God's words.

Therefore, we can confirm that the Bible is God's words by checking whether or not they took place.

If you study the prophecies of the Bible, we will be able to believe that the Bible is the words of God.
