I was recently cruising social media when I ran across this
question as it was posed to a friend of mine (real friend, not the social media kind) who happens to be a pastor. I
have shortened the original question to help keep it on point. I corrected some
spelling and grammatical errors.
However, I left the majority in an effort not to alienate the quote
entirely from its original voice. The
question was posed as such:
Don’t think I’m trying to [be] the
devil or anything, lol, but scripture was written by ordinary men, picked
through by men, and organized and rearranged by men. … Books have been added. Books have been taken out, by men [whose]
motives may be questionable. I don’t
know how to ask what I’m thinking without sounding like a terrible doubting
Thomas. But, you see where I’m going
with this.
To those who doubt God’s Word,
There is no logical or empirical argument that can
convince you that the Bible is the inerrant and living Word of God. Please don’t misunderstand what I am
saying. The Bible is logical. The Bible is supported by empirical
evidence. When you test what the Bible (truly)
says, with (truly) open eyes, you will see that it is true (Romans 1:20, 1 Thessalonians 5:21). But someone cannot be logically
or empirically argued to faith (1 Corinthians 2:10-16). Furthermore, the sad part about all this is
that unless you believe the Word of God you can’t have true faith in Christ
Jesus (Romans 10:17). After all, the
Bible says that Jesus is the Word (John 1:1-5, 14). And without faith in Christ Jesus we have no
forgiveness of our sin (Acts 4:12).
Yours is Christ,
