IS THE BIBLE TRUE?

Today there is a lot of discussion about whether the Bible is true or not. Even leaders in some religious groups do not believe everything in the Bible. They believe in the “grace” of God. Not in what God teaches. Believe it or not, but not everyone will go to heaven. Also, there really is a hell and a devil named Satan. He still wants your soul, so he goes about it by trying to get you to believe the Bible is not true. Before modern men knew about science, even before science was invented, the Bible teaches science. Let’s look at a few things.

Remember back in the 1400′s when Columbus said the world was round. Everyone else thought it was square and ships fell off the face of the earth. They probably based that on the knowledge that ships did not return every time they sailed out. Therefore, they fell off the earth. They didn’t consider the fact that there were storms, or that the sailors found land and didn’t want to leave. Columbus, on the other hand, believed the world was round. Did you know it states that in Isaiah 40:22? Even back before Christ was born, Isaiah knew the world was round because God told him. This is what the prophet Isaiah says in that verse, It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Did you get the first sentence? God sits above “the circle of the earth.” Could Christopher Columbus have read that verse? We don’t know, but he was right since we can see the circle of the earth from pictures taken from space.

Those square thinking scientists were pretty wrong back in that day. They even made fun of Columbus’ beliefs. Wonder how they felt when he came back from the New World?

While we are talking about sailing, did you know David talked about the “paths of the seas”? In Psalm 8:8 David wrote this, The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. This was found to be correct by Matthew Maury, in “Pathway of a the Seas.” Today ships use those pathways.

In Job 38:16 we read about “springs of the sea.”  Have you entered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths? That is unimaginable isn’t it? Freshwater springs in the seas? Well there are freshwater springs in the sea. One in in Florida and another in Hawaii. There are probably others, but these springs put fresh water in the ocean, and you can drink it. God put it there. It didn’t just happen. God also told us about it. We have to read and study His Word to believe it.

It is hard to believe that people, intelligent people, would misrepresent God’s Word in such a way to cause people to believe something that isn’t there. We need to guard our souls, and what we believe will either send us to heaven or hell. What do you believe?

WHERE IS GOD?

Today we have been fooled by so many magicians and politicians that we are led to believe that there is no God, but there is. He is still alive and well, and in Heaven.

Several years my husband and I took a long dreamed trip to Scotland. I was teaching a class of 6-8 year old children on Sunday mornings in church. When we returned, they were anxious to hear about the trip. They were all boys, so they asked how we got there, how fast the plane flew, how high, etc. They wanted to know what the clouds looked like when we flew above them. One little boy was quiet, but finally asked, “Did you see…?” He pointed his finger to the ceiling. Then he quietly said, “God.” (more…)

In 2009, my husband and I took a trip we had dreamed about for years. We went to Scotland. It was a trip of a lifetime and we enjoyed the people, the scenery, and being with family.

We attended a small congregation in America and I taught a class of two boys, ages six and nine. The first thing they wanted to know was how I got there. I told them we flew. The next question was how high did you go? I told them forty thousand feet. The youngest boy had been silent and had a very serious look on his face. He looked at me and asked, “Did you see God?” I told him no that we didn’t go that far and asked why he asked that question. Still in the serious mode, he looked up toward the ceiling and pointed. “He’s up there,” he replied.

The little fellow probably thought I was pretty dumb to not know God was “up there.” We always associate God with Heaven, and every story about heaven tells us Heaven is “up there.” If the Word of God is with you, God is with you. No, we can’t see Him like these boys thought I could if I flew high enough, but we know right from wrong and that is influence from God.

David said in Psalm 18:30 that “God’s way is perfect.” Yes, it is. It is perfect as long as we obey God’s Word. We need to study the Bible, teach others His Word, and live a life that shows respect to him. Sometimes we are put in positions where it is hard to do what we know is right. When we do sin, we can ask for forgiveness. God is right there to hear our prayers.
