Is the Bible the word of man, or God?

It does NOT matter what we were taught as children, or what the majority is following, or what our emotional feelings lead us to think or believe. Those factors are perfectly invalid as a test of absolute truth. The ultimate question must be answered: What does the Word of God say on the subject?

Some people think that if they are sincere in what they believe, God will accept them and save them. But sincerity alone is not enough. One can be sincere, and be sincerely wrong.

God’s Word has a lot to say to those who are willing to be corrected. The people to be most pitied are those who have closed minds. They will resist any information which varies from their personal views. Their minds are made up, and they don’t want to be bothered by the facts.

In these final days right before the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the wicked will out number the true followers of God hundreds to one. Every available source of information reveals that in religious matters, at least, the majority has always been wrong. Jesus Himself said, “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Luke 17:26. Only eight people went into the ark to be saved from the flood.

Christ taught that only a comparable few would be saved at the end of the world. Said He, “Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14.

Truth has never been popular with the masses. And those in the majority today, as in all past ages, are not really looking for truth as much as they are looking for a smooth, easy, comfortable religion which will allow them to live as they please.

The Holy Word of God, the Bible, was written by good men, inspired by God.

If no-one had told you it was the word of any god, and you picked it up and started reading it, you’d probably shake your head and toss it aside when you got to the talking snake part in Genesis.

It’s so obviously written by superstitious ancient men with a propaganda agenda, that it’s amazing this type of question gets asked at all, let alone as often as it does.

The Bible is the Word of God, but men wrote with inspiration from God. and the serpent was talking because Satan took the form of a serpent, and when God found out that He tricked Adam and Eve(which he knew would happen from the beginning) into eating the fruit, he made it so the serpent had to crawl on it’s stomach.

Jeez! everyone always asks questions like this! Here is my answer: If you are a christian, the bible is the word of god. If you have a brain, the bible is a contradictory fairy story. Decide yourself.

It’s a very fascinating and insightful collection of writings from several centuries. It has stories, poems, letters of advice, historical records, moral analysis, and much more. It is one of the pivotal books in Western civilization.

However, in my opinion, it is purely the work of man.

Millions of Christians down thru the ages have believed the bible to be the inspired word of God, given as an example for us to live by.

Multitudes have given their lives because of the faith that they had in the words within the pages of the bible.

Much sacrifice has gone into printing this book, into the diff. languages of the world, so that all could hear the “Good news”.

Christians down thru the ages have guarded this book with their lives.

And last but certainly not least… It works.

Have you read it?

If not, how about starting with the book of John, in the New Test.
