The Bible

For each of us seeking spiritual truth, spiritual authority, our Creator, and our Savior,
there is a simple shortcut to truth: start with the Bible first and investigate it thoroughly.

Why start there?

Not just because the Bible claims to be the only inspired Word of the one true God who created us. It also claims that all of the world's religions and their scriptures are false and actually in the service of Satan.

Why start there?

Because Jesus did:

The Temptation of Jesus
(Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13)

1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3 The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.'"

5 Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6 “I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said.
“For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.
7 So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'”

9 Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

For it is written:

‘He will command His angels concerning You
to guard You carefully;

11 and they will lift You up in their hands,
so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

13When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him.
(Berean Study Bible)

The Bible calls Satan "the god of this world" (2 Corinthians:4:4) and thus the author of its religions. So because the Bible is true, we will have saved ourselves a lifetime of vain searching through false systems.

In fact, we can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that every word in the Bible is true.

The Bible has several unique features not found in the scriptures of the world's religions, making it possible to substantiate its claims. Christianity is not a philosophy, mystical experience, or esoteric practice [but] is based upon undeniable and historical facts.

The Bible stands on a four-fold foundation, every part of which can be examined and verified:

1) prophecy foretelling events and doctrines in advance,

2) fulfillment of those prophecies in detail,

3) secular history testifying to the fulfillment of prophecies and events, and

4) factual data corroborated by archaelology and science.

None of this is true with the teachings or holy books of any of the world's religions.

Thanks for your comment, bahmer,

People so take for granted the Word of God, few seem to realize without free access to it, this country would be the same h*llh#le most of the rest of the world is.

“God has revealed to mankind all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of Him” (2 Peter:1:3), and His specific revelation of such things is found in His Word, the Bible.

We are so fortunate to have easy access to it. I have been guilty of taking that for granted.

Good post.
