Why The Bible is True

Hey, Quest!

Last year (when I was in Morph still), we had a Bible X day where we talked about how we knew that the Bible was true. Our counselors gave us a list, and I LOVE having it on me, and I thought you guys would, too. I have it written on the inside of my Bible, because I figure if I need the list, I probably need the Bible!
Here goes:

Unity: It's consistent! (You'll notice when you're cross-referencing that there's a lot of 'repeated' verses...that's good because it shows that we have a certain message that we're teaching...if that makes sense.)

Prophecy Fulfilled: He built in proof! (Did you know 29 prophecies from the Old Testament were fulfilled on Jesus' birthday, and over 300 during the rest of his life? Pretty cool, huh? That's my fav reason)

Intellectually Honest: Archaelogically and Historically correct (Even atheists can't deny it when they find evidence of the battles fought, the kings, the countries, even the walls of Jericho falling outward! The fact that it is historically correct just proves that it's true! All that stuff happened!)

You Can't Destroy It: (People have tried to wipe out the faith a bunch of times, and you can't! You can't get rid of the Bible!)

People Died for It: (Would all those people have died for something that wasn't true? And it's not even just a couple, it was, like, thousands or something!)

People You Trust Believe It: (I mean, you're bound to know at least one smart, logical, trustworthy person who's a Christian, and if they are willing to believe it, you know it's at least worth some thought...I'm not sure how to word that, but you can figure it out.)

Also, here's a list on How we know God exists:

Testimony of Believers: (It's unlikely that so many people could be led off-track...noone can deny that.)

Design: (There are way to many "coincidences," big and small, for them to all be coincidences. God's proof is also everywhere in creation.)

O.M.V: Objective Moral Value (There are many things that everyone knows are evil, like murder and rape, so...if there is definitley total evil, there must be total good and love! Hence, GOD!)

Anyway, I hope that helps, I have used that a lot when I have doubts. Hopefully it's useful! Keep on searching for him!
