The argument I find to be most convincing is the one that says‚ THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE REVELATION OF THE PERSON OF CHRIST‚ the reason why this is so compelling to me because it is human nature that we “believe” in something. As human beings we are easily to be influence and persuaded (as Adam and Eve were in Genesis 3). Of course‚ if you believe in the BIBLE. That is why I find it so interesting that it is easy for men to argue about whether or not the BIBLE is true

Of the ten arguments that the Bible is the Word of God‚ I believe that the most compelling argument is The Convicting‚ Convincing‚ Converting Power of the Message. It is hard to imagine that people who have ever read the Bible were untouched by it in some form or fashion. “Even though the Bible tells us of sinful acts‚ it is not a popular book where sinful acts take place”. Not all people who have read the Bible cease to sin; however‚ if people read the Bible and heeded its warning‚ they may

Of the ten arguments that the Bible is the Word of God presented by Dr Towns‚ the one that I find the most convincing is the pragmatic test of experience. There is something special about experiencing something yourself. You can then tell somebody about it and really know what you are talking about. You are then more credible. When you tell someone something from experience‚ that person will recognize that you know what you are talking about. See‚ I accepted Christ at the age of thirteen

The Bible has been proven to be true by historical evidence It’s so important to know why to believe the Bible. Christians base so many arguments and their whole belief system off of what the Bible says. When a Christian is asked why they believe what the Bible says though they are speechless. They can argue with the Bible and make points with Scripture about issues‚ but when they are asked what makes the bible reliable they don’t know what to say. The majority of people these days

Dr. Towns is convincing on all arguments that the Bible is the word of God. I converted to be a Christian 22 years ago when I became a believer that Christ is God. As a young child is Sunday school‚ I use to ask question to my Sunday school teacher. If the Bible is the word of God‚ why did bad things happen in the Bible if God is a good God? As a teen and staying true to my religious upbringing‚ I knew in my heart that the Bible was the word of God because with God all things are possible (Matthew

We should read and study the Bible because it is totally reliable and without error. o The Old Testament writers claimed many times they were speaking the word of God. Isaiah 1:2 “Hear‚ O heavens‚ and give ear‚ O earth; for the Lord has spoken: "Children have I reared and brought up‚ but they have rebelled against me.” o The New Testament writers confirmed the Old Testament was God speaking. Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and active‚ sharper than any two-edged sword‚ piercing to

The Bible and the Word "Inspire" According to the Random House Dictionary‚ the word inspire means "to infuse an animating‚ quickening‚ or exalting influence into‚ or to communicate or suggest by a divine influence." This definition indicates‚ when applied to the scripture‚ that the stories and writings in the Bible did not come solely from the minds of the respective authors‚ but rather from a divine source. This suggests that the authors were scribes‚ reproducing what was instilled in them

I find the most compelling argument for the Bible being the Word of God is the Unique Revelation of Jesus Christ. He is by far‚ the greatest man that ever walked the face of the earth. Essentially every aspect of human life has been changed in some way‚ because of the life & teachings of Jesus. As a follower of Christ it is not merely what He taught‚ but who the person of Jesus Christ claimed to be and what he practiced while He was here on earth that convinces me of who He is. Dr Towns explains

Representation of God in the Bible Throughout the Bible God can be represented in a number of different ways. In some chapters of the Bible God can be found to be a compassionate‚ loving God‚ who would do anything for his people. To contradict this‚ in other chapters of the Bible God can be found trying to instill fear into people so that they believe in him‚ or do what he wants of them. In both instances it shows how different God can be seen and why believers can have doubts about how God really is.
