Zone1 How Can We Prove That The Bible Is Accurate?

[ChristisKing]

I've actually wondered this myself at times. How do we know that Jesus said what people said He said? Well, how many of your favorite songs do you know all of the lyrics to?

That is a brilliant idea!

If anybody could potentially inspire the nation of Turkey to open up and be more open of what could well be there on Mt. Ararat, it is President Donald J. Trump, [who tends to be respected by Islamic nations for his manner of approaching all subjects with a "Get'er done " attitude]!?

Islamic leaders tend to figure out quickly that going against President Donald J. Trump can be risky.

Here is another angle on how to prove the Bible.

The Torah code is a purported system of hidden messages in the Hebrew text of the Torah, where words or phrases are found by selecting letters at equal intervals. Popularized by books like The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin, proponents claim these codes can predict historical events, while critics argue the findings are a result of manipulated data or chance and can be found in other texts

It isn't our job to prove the bible is correct. It is our job to believe it is right using our faith in God and Jesus Christ.

Live by its moral principles and see what happens.

It’s a storybook. It can be as accurate as you want it to be.

Yes, Jesus has taught:

Doctrine and Covenants 88:63
63 Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

 

[Cougarbear]

There are things in the bible that are factually documented. The question is, is the Bible a testament of Jesus Christ? The first testament of Jesus Christ? Your answer will be based on faith. Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. Atheists would call this foolish and not proof. So, for those who deny faith as truth, if you are married, does your spouse love you? If you say yes, how do you know? You don't. You have hope that is not proven to be true but based in faith that you hope she/he does. Love is a feeling. Those who have faith in God feel they know God lives, Jesus is the Christ.

Let's say you get in an in a heated argument and condemn someone (whether you're right or wrong) just because you're livid with that person? Does it resolve the issue? How does it make you feel?

How about if you're the one who is unjustly accused by someone? Disrespected? Does it end there or does resentment build up, anger?


"LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF"



When you see someone on the street, begging for money - do you cringe at them? Do you think to yourself, "What a bum, probably a drug addict who needs to get a job like everyone else." Do you hold that in - creating contempt in your heart so the next time it happens, you get even more annoyed - and so forth?

Let's say one day you're down on your luck and ask a close friend or family member for help - and they refuse. How does that make you feel?

"Do not judge or you too will be judged. By the same measure you judge others, you will be judged."



If you "Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength" - how likely are you to intentionally commit a violent crime? (HEART).

How likely are you to plan out a violent crime? (MIND)

If tempted, how likely are you to rebuke the temptation. (STRENGTH)

And how does it feel knowing you would not do it, would not think about doing it and if tempted, you would rebuke the temptation? (SOUL).

When I see someone begging on the street, I always assume they want money for drugs. Anyway, I never carry cash on me.

"LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF"

This is very problematic. We don't love ourselves very much. If we apply our love of self to another we both fail.

nothing in the 4th century christian bible is an inclusion written by jesus in their own hand nor did they compile an appendix of documents they used to write their book with physical copies preserved for verification. their bible is entirely a work of fiction interwoven with historical events of their choosing to lend credence to their claims.

the events of the 1st century in themselves are historical manifestations of the times as a repudiation of the corrupt judaism and its false premises of fantasies madeup to facilitate ulterior motivations that culminated in its destruction as the result of the conclusion to those events not recognized by the christian bible as a continuation of the crucifixion of its leading character and misrepresentation to this day.

the true heavenly goal to triumph over evil to sin no more proclaimed by jesus as the sole means to acquire judgement necessary for admission to the everlasting than their 10000 page book of forgeries lies and fallacies.

If, as you claim, the bible is made up, then how do YOU know what Jesus wants?

knew ...

jesus spoke to the heart - of all good caring people ...

the heavenly goal is universal in all languages and cultures - to triumph over evil - is all that is required.

Dead Sea Scroll 7Q5 is presumed to be parts of the Gospel of Mark - it is dated circa 50 AD

What parts of the New Testament do you feel were the teachings of Jesus? And if not Jesus, who taught them?
