Another Lie we have heard people say is that the Bible is just a book of myths and poetry. That is a lie from the pit of hell and why I believe the Bible is the inspired Word spoken by our Creator to us. Let's see what the Scriptures say about that.
Psalm 119:89
Your Word is settled in heaven forever, Oh YHVH.
Isaiah 40:8
The Word of our Elohim shall abide and stand for ever.
John 1:1, 14
In the beginning was the Word, the Living Torah, and the Living Torah was with YHVH, and the Living Torah was YHVH... and the Living Torah was made flesh and dwelt among us...
John 17:17
Your Word is Truth.
1 Thessalonians 1:13
For this cause also, we give thanks to YHVH without ceasing, because when you received the Word of YHVH which you heard from us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of YHVH that also works in you who believe...
1 Peter 1:25
The Word of YHVH endures for ever.
From the above verses, we can see that His Word will abide forever, but there is another verse that I would like to share.
Psalm 119:151b
All Your Commandments are Truth.
The Bible is our Creator's loving instructions on how we should live our lives and how to worship and serve Him. It also tells us how to avoid hell.
I believe one of the reasons why people do not want to believe that the Scriptures are the inspired Word of our Creator is that they do tell us about a hell that we will go to if we do not repent of our sins and believe in His Son.
But our Creator has told us how we can avoid the flame of an everlasting hell. Also, if we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, then, we will be held accountable to someone other than ourselves. So if we ignore it or don't believe it, then, that' okay, right? Wrong!
One reason I believe that the Bible is the Word of our Creator is that, they tell the end from the beginning of the Scriptures. If you want to know what will happen at the end of time, just go back to the beginning in Genesis.
Most of us have been taught as Christians to study the book of Daniel and the Prophets to know the end time. But when you do that, you miss out on what your Creator is really doing.
Abraham is the father of our faith. You need to go back to Genesis to see what YHVH promised Abraham to see what He will be doing in the end times. But, even go back to Genesis 1, there are truths in there....
Without going back to the beginning in Genesis, you do not have a firm foundation.
Another reason is because our Creator does not lie and He says that the Bible or Scriptures is His Word to us.
2 Peter 1:20-21 states: "Knowing this first, that no prophesy of the Scriptures is of any private interpretation. For prophecy came not in ancient times by the will of man, but holy men of YHVH spoke as they were moved by the Ruach HaKodesh ". [Holy Spirit].
So we see that the Words in the Scriptures are not words that came from men, but were spoken by our Creator.
Who does not want us to believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of our Creator to us, but the serpent and enemy of our souls, the Original Slick Willy? He wants to keep us away from reading and believing it, because he knows that if we believe, then our lives will be changed or should be, and then he has lost us. He wants to take as many people to hell as he can by distorting our Creator's Word and telling people that it is just a book of myths and poetry.
The devil distorted his Creator's Word to Eve in the Garden of Eden and has been doing it ever since. He has not had to change his strategy. It's a piece of cake for him. The distortion of His Word or that it is a book of poetry and myths has worked very well down through the ages convincing people that they do not need to study it.
The Apostle Paul said in 1 Timothy 4:13 "Until I come, pay attention to reading Torah, to exhortation, to teaching." If it was not important to study the Torah or the Scriptures, then why did Paul say to pay attention to the reading of it?
Then, another reason that I believe the Bible is true, is that all the prophecy given in the Bible has come to pass up to this time, and I know that the rest of the Prophetic Scriptures will also come to pass.
Take for example in Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that none of his counselors were able to interpret. But YHVH revealed to Daniel the meaning of the dream which was his kingdom and all the kingdoms that would come after Babylon. An everlasting kingdom would come and destroy all the kingdoms before it by a stone made without hands that would crush the image of the kingdoms.
All the kingdoms have come to pass, except the revived Roman Empire and the everlasting kingdom of our Creator.
Isaiah 46:9-10
Remember the former things of old: for I am El. There is none else. I am Elohim and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that shall stand and I will do all My pleasure.
There is no other book that has ever predicted with 100% accuracy what will happen. Only the Scriptures which were breathed by our Creator's Ruach [Spirit] have been able to foretell the future. There are so many things that our Creator has foretold will happen.
Another example is that it was prophesied that all nations would come against Israel in the last days and you are seeing it happen right now. I did not see that before today that it will not be all the nations of the world coming against Israel, but only the Islamic countries that "surround" Israel. Read Psalm 83 for the nations that will come against Israel in the last days.
Those reasons alone, my friend, convinces me to know that the Bible or Scriptures is not a book of myths. And we can stake our Eternal future and what will happen in the world, on the Bible.
Also, as I said before, if you are scoffing at this, then you are another sign to cause me to believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of YHVH, our Creator and that every Word in it SHALL come to pass. Some not so good, either!
I hope that you will not listen to the enemy of your soul telling you that the Bible is not the inspired Word of your Creator, Who loves you.
Your Eternal destiny depends on you believing
what the Bible says.
"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the Only Eloah,
be honor and glory forever and ever. Amein!"
1 Timothy 1:17
Shalom and abundant blessings,
