"IS THE BIBLE TRUE?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU NON-BELIEVERS OUT THERE THAT MIGHT BE READING THIS. WHAT IF THE BIBLE IS RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG? HAVE YOU EVER PONDERED THAT? HERE IS ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU. IS IT WORTH IT TO TAKE THAT CHANCE WHEN IT IS SO EASY TO OPEN YOUR MIND TO THE TRUTH? IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE, READ HISTORY BOOKS OR ARE YOU AFRAID TO? I AM GOING TO COPY PART OF AN ARTICLE FROM THE "CHRISTIAN CRIER" WRITTEN BY JACK WELLMAN, BUT FIRST I AM GOING TO TELL YOU WHO JACK WELLMAN IS.
Jack Wellman is a Christian author, freelance writer who holds a BA in history, as well as degrees in science and education. He looks at the lack of physical and scientific evidence for evolution and provides scientific, mathematical, biological, archeological, historic, logical, moral, paleontological (fossils) evidence for creation, the historicity of Jesus Christ and His resurrection and the veracity of the Old and New Testaments manuscripts.
THIS IS WHAT HE HAS RESEARCHED AND WRITTEN ABOUT.
History Is His-Story
The authenticity of Jesus’ existence is easily proven. Not only are there the genealogical studies of the gospels of Matthew and Luke, but we have extra-biblical sources that are simply too numerous to include in one article. The plain, historical truth is that there is no single person in all of human history that more has been written about more than Jesus Christ. From Roman and Jewish historians to secular historians of the present age and from the age of antiquities, there is no shortage of the Man from Galilee. Based upon historical methods, which include a critical analysis, the overwhelming majority of biblical scholars and modern and ancient historians all agree that Jesus lived on earth, lived in Judea, was a real Man in space and time, and His teachings have been the single, greatest influence that the world has ever known. There may be significant differences on His teachings but there is major agreement on His historicity , most modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed.
Josephus, Jewish Historian
Titus Flavius Josephus (37 – c. 100) wrote extensively about the Jews, from the time of Abraham up to day in which he lived. He was a Romano-Jewish historian and scholar. He was and still is well respected and what he wrote about Jesus in the Antiquities of the Jews was impressive. He writes in Book 18, chapter 3 that “Jesus was a wise teacher who was crucified by Pontius Pilate…” His accounts are held to be of the highest of authenticity. Josephus accurately describes the condemnation and crucifixion of Jesus at the hands of the Roman authorities. Some of Josephus’ writings include very convincing testimony of Christ like:
“About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate, had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.”
IF THIS HAS REACHED YOU IN ANY WAY, NOW GO TO THE BIBLE AND READ MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN AND GET THEIR ACCOUNTS OF JESUS. I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY IT AND I HOPE WILL OPEN YOUR EYES TO SEE GOD'S TRUTH AND IF IT DOES, ASK JESUS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR. YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU ARE. HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO LOVE HIM AND TO KNOW OF HIS LOVE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
