Is the Bible the Word of God? There is much at stake in answering this
question. Atheism is completely set against the Bible, and conceives of
it as the worse of all evil things. For the atheist, the Bible and
biblical Christianity are clear and present dangers to liberty in
America, and must be strictly controlled and eventually eradicated from
the minds of people throughout the world in order for there to be
lasting peace.
In a similar way, Liberal Protestantism is convinced that the Bible is
only a work of ancient men, and that the concept of God simply evolved
from those primitive minds, a product of what they thought God ought to be.
For these liberals, the whole idea of saving men from their sins is
completely displaced by a social gospel. God is beyond human
comprehension and knowledge. Certainly the Bible holds no
authority for these individuals. Rather, their own intuitions and
imaginations are their only real guides.
In the midst of this great confusion, the Bible has an objective message
to communicate: The Bible is the Word of God. God can be
known because He has communicated with man through the Bible. He
is the one who created us, and we can know His will for our lives by
seeking His counsel in His Word.
We will now look as some of the evidences for the Bible as being the
Word of God.
