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.

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 holy book is a library of books believed by Christians and Judaism. There is no one bible that exist, but various types by different authors. The contents of bible for Christians and Judases varies since their canonical text are not similar. The arrangement of these books in the book of God canons differs for different believers and may add other books, combine the books or add additional information to it.

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.

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.

The Christians view it as a place where a life of love and good works is experienced. They are given guidance on their daily undertakings through the holy writing. The civilization of world in music arts, ethics and the law have been majorly influenced by only the scripture. Great thinkers and leaders in the history have affirmed to it hence raising its credibility.

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.

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.
