Common Question To Many, Is The Bible True

By Marylou Forbes


The greatest question that humanity have always asked themselves has been a concern to many writers. Is the bible true? This has been a question over a long time. Hundreds of scripts have been written by various writers trying to get the truth on the validity of the scripture. Quite number of individuals have various stand over this matter. Christians are the main users of this book and they strongly feel it is God who wrote the book Himself using his chosen people.

Bible is believed to be misleading by a section of various religion who do not believe in validity of the word. Quran for example is the book believed by the Muslims hence on various occasions they have criticized the book of God to be misleading, however Christians strongly believes Bible as being Gods true word that each mankind ought to follow.

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.

Catholic Church for example have included more books adding up to total of 73 books unlike the Protestants scriptures have 66 books. This creates rift between the two versions raising doubts on the originality of the holy book.

God did not hand anyone a complete scripture rather over time it is believed the Holy Spirit inspired the authors of scriptures to write Gods revelation to humankind. As time went by the church compiled this book to form a canon which is an authoritative set of sacred scripture and declared it Gods word. This raises many questions on the validity of the scripture as humans can be biased in one way or another.There are different versions of the scripture which at some point it has clearly brought out differences between these versions. This is mainly due to translation into many languages that distorts the initial intended message.

The scriptures is the most reliable place to turn for findings the key to a life of love and good works. It is used by its believers to guide them on their daily endeavors. The book has had a greater influence on laws, art, ethics and music in the world civilization than any other book in history. Majority of greatest leaders and thinkers in history have affirmed the truth and the Impact of holy scripture hence increasing the credibility of the book of God.

The righteous people who lived a life that served as an example to others and close to God wrote the holy book. The Old Testament prophesies were also full filed in the new testament through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

It is an individual who is believed to give the credibility of these holy scriptures. It is faith that makes a person to give a view on the setting of this book of God. More information is however believed to be included in the Quran. Believing the scripture is optional to each individual depending on their judgment.
