Ten Reasons the Holy Scriptures are True

Ten Reasons the Holy Scriptures are true.
10.) The Holy Scriptures say so.
“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation [origin], for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved [propelled] by the Holy Spirit.” 2Peter 1:20-21
“For David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The LORD said..'” Mark 12:36
“All this,” said David, “the LORD made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the works of these plans.” 1Chronicles 28:19
“The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.” 2 Samuel 23:2
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…” 2 Timothy 3:16
9.) We are God’s Creation.
“Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the heavens, and over the beasts, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that moves on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:26-27
“For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.” Psalms 103:14
“The rich and poor have this in common: Jehovah is the maker of them all.” Proverbs 22:2
“Woe to him who strives with the One who formed him, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to the one who forms it, What are you making? Or your work, He has no hands?” Isaiah 45:9
8.) Historical archeology confirms bible.
Things are found…things are often ‘accidentally’ lost. Nonetheless the scoffers are always TRYING their hardest to disprove the Word of God. Try as they might it would be national news forever if they could actually disprove the historical accounts that are recorded in the written Word.
“Let it not be! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: That You may be found just in Your words, and may win the case when You are judged.” Romans 3:4
7.) History records Jesus as being true.
Not only do we have the historical life, death and Resurrection of Jesus recorded for us in the bible, but even the unsaved record that Jesus was a true person in history. I remember when my high school world history book mentioned Jesus, and though it was brief, they did acknowledge that He existed. Think of how much time a school will waste teaching Shakespeare. Does this not speak for itself? Shakespeare is recorded as one of the greatest writers of all time, yet we have literally tons of churches around the world that were started because of one Man, Jesus. Despite the fact that most of them are either apostate or either were never part of the true Church the fact that they exist in and of itself is a testimony that Jesus was indeed the Son of God and that God’s Word is true. What other religious leader has a proclaimed worldwide following?
6.) BC vs. AD
BC is ‘Before Christ’ and AD is Latin for Anno Domini or the ‘year of our Lord’. Right there is once again evidence that Jesus was just no regular man, but that He was the Son of God. Who else has the dating system completely changed in remembrance of their life?
5.) Prophecy
In the past we did a study on Jesus and prophecies surrounding His life. This is just one aspect. We can see how the prophecies of the bible even in today’s society can point out some of our recent technological advances as well as indicate other advances that are suspected. With the prophecies regarding the very end-times it is now apparent how the mark of the beast could be implemented as well as how we can and do to a certain extent, have a one-world government as well as a one-world currency.
4.) Science in bible took man a millennia to figure out.
“It is He who sits upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in…” Isaiah 40:22
This is just one of many examples. It took man at least 400 more years to figure this one out. There are numerous examples in the bible with such things.
3.) The rocks cry out!
The archeological evidence for the biblical flood is overwhelming. Even a quick overlook at s8int.com will reveal that there are many ooparts (out of place artifacts), that can be attributed to the recorded flood found in the Holy Scriptures.
“And the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it was high above the earth. The waters prevailed and greatly increased upon the earth, and the ark moved about upon the surface of the waters. And the waters prevailed with abundant force upon the earth, and all the high hills under the heavens were covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved on the earth: flying creatures and animals and living things and every creeping thing that moves on the earth, and every man.” Genesis 7:17-21
2.) You can easily prove man’s theories to be false.
Creationist say what they say and that is that God created the earth and everything in it. Evolutionist however have to change their theories on a very regular basis to modify based on some new supposed evidence that contradicts their official theory. The theory of Evolution was proven false with the knowledge of RNA/DNA, however it is still portrayed as the truth and taught in schools around the world.
“Professing to be wise, they become foolish, and change the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.” Romans 1:22-23
1.) The Holy Spirit resides in me as a testimony that indeed the Holy Scriptures are true.
This is the example that everyone who calls themselves a Christian should have. We have direct communication to God through Jesus. All Christians have the Holy Spirit in them.
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus…” 1 Timothy 2:5
“We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.” 1st John 4:6
“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” Romans 8:9
