One of the most important topics a Christian must have a good grasp of and be able to defend is where we got our Bible. How did we get the Bible? How did God have His Word preserved throughout the ages? There is no easy shortcut to this subject. Please take the time, pray and think through the material provided. There is one section, in the Dan Wallace debate (last video) talking about the “Gospel of Snoopy” experiment. James White also brings out multiple streams of documents coming from different locations. Extremely convincing! **See all the videos at the bottom of this blog.**
Remember, we are called to contend earnestly for the faith. You are not responsible for opening the eyes of others that is a work of God alone. You are responsible to present the material correctly and to stand firm. But, it also means to use wisdom before engaging a person (Do not cast your pearls before swine). The goal then is to glorify God, try to explain and love your neighbor and be a witness for those who may be watching/listening. Be equipped, train others that we may all stand firm.
One great aspect of the Word of God and its preservation, from 303 to 313 (10 years) it was a crime to be a Christian. There was an onslaught to eradicate Christianity. With all the destruction to documents, death of people and widespread abuse…the Bible still stands firm and reliable and is in essence the very Words written by the original authors…it is a miracle that it remains today! Grace and peace to all who are in Christ Jesus the Lord! Amen.
