Is The Bible True The Lingering Question

By Marylou Forbes


There have been hundreds of books written by different authors, all on the subject of the evidences of divine inspiration of this scripture. Is the Bible true? This is greatest question that many people have asked themselves over a considerable period of time. Many people hold different opinion on this issues. Bibles are mainly used by the Christians and they do firmly believe it is holy as it was written by God himself through his prophets and servants.

Those who do not believe in its validity claim it to be misleading. The Muslims for instance have been the critiques of the scripture since it differs with their version. The Christians on the other hand have a strong faith on the holy book and trust it to be the guide of every human being.

The Christians and the Judases believe in the library of the books which is the book of God. Different bibles exist with different contents in it. The contents of these two believers varies since there the canonical texts that it comprises varies with each form. There might be addition, deletion or subtraction of words hence the rise of disparities in the arrangement of these books.

There is additional of 7 books in the catholic book of God which adds it to 73 unlike the Protestants version which has 66 books. This has raised questions about the originality of this scripture among the word believers.

The Holy Spirit provided an inspiration to authors to write the revelation of god to human kinds but did not give them a complete word (bible). These books were combined by the church to form a single authoritative sacred scripture and named it the word of the lord. The authors can however be biased in one way hence May raising questions whether the bible is accurately written.The translation of word into different languages can lead to omission of some scripts or even distort the original message. The contents of the canon will thus come in many different forms hence leading to differences in versions.

It is the place where good works are found and a life full of love is experienced. The believers uses the scripture to guide them on how they can carry out their daily activities. It is only the scripture which has had influence in works such as the legal works, morals arts and music industry in civilization of entire world. The credibility of the bible has been raised by the greatest thinkers together with the leaders who have greatly conquered with it.

The authors of the holy book are believed to have been righteous people who were very close to God and lived an exemplary life which touched many people lives. In addition several prophesies have been consistent from the old testament to the New Testament. For instance the Old Testament prophesied on the coming of the messiah (the son of God) which came to pass in the New Testament.

Every individual have his/her understanding of these verses. The faith of an individual is what creates a stand on whether to believe in it or not. The Quran has more books included in it more than the bible hence making therefore making the Muslims to believe that the scripture is misleading. It is not compulsory for human beings to believe in it but have the right to give individual taking.
