Is the Bible True?

Is the Bible True? Randall Niles discusses the evidence for Biblical inspiration, trustworthiness, and authenticity. (This is a 2007 low res classic - For higher quality, please visit "History of the Bible" on this same YouTube channel.)

The Bible is a phenomenal account of history, comprised of 66 separate books, written over approximately 1,600 years, by at least 40 distinct authors. The Old Testament contains 39 books written from approximately 1500 to 400 BC, and the New Testament contains 27 books written from approximately 40 to 90 AD. The texts were penned in different languages, locations and cultures. The authors covered the spectrum of life -- from kings to fishermen, scribes to shepherds. Unlike other books of religion, philosophy or mythology, the biblical accounts were written by totally different people in totally different contexts.

Remarkably, when the Bible is read as a whole, it is a perfectly integrated message system! From Genesis to Revelation, there is a systematic structure that boggles the mind. Even with todays computers, scholars have a hard time understanding how the various models, types, codes, themes, symbols and predictions all came together without material error or inconsistency.

Some scriptures may appear obscure in their original context. However, when read in the light of texts written hundreds of years later, the message becomes dramatically clear. For instance, in Genesis 3:15, God is speaking to Satan when He says, I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." This language is hard to understand until we see the scripture fulfilled in the New Testament. There, the writers view Satan as striking at Christs heel through the crucifixion, until Christ crushes Satans head (sin) through the power of the resurrection. There are numerous models, types and symbols used throughout the Old Testament scriptures that are fully explained in the New Testament texts. Often, Jesus Christ himself acts as the full explanation that ties the Old and New Testament concepts together.

Dig in and explore the integrated design of the biblical texts for yourself! Is it possible that 40 authors writing separately over hundreds of years could have planned the amazing integration that we now see in the completed collection of 66 books?

Thank you! we are on same way but unless you tell me what you know about this world, i will hate myself more than ever. I cannot be arguing on a senseless issue like this. I believe you are one of those mathmaticians who proved no evidence that jesus ever was. I agree on both after what's my concern.

@amatyable Sorry if I upset you but in a way we do exist forever. When you die the ground will absorb you, one day erosion will spread your dust & moisture to the winds, you will be deposited across the earth like a mantle. Surely that is as comforting as an ancient myth with sky gardens, nearly empty because HIS clay men are so human, living your old age in fear, in case HIS creatures, devils, torment you for eternity? Enjoy life, fraternize, treat others well, it will be returned.

@nzobriens I did all i could to calm all my comments negative, yet you were not satisfied. Please, i beg you remove any nasty videos which is of no interest like the eye sores i have seen. All i know is that the rich can be saved easily than the poor ones. We are all racists including you. I am black and proud i wish you same. Infact, your actitude towards my comments showed the level of your education. Phd, is't? We here are all illitrates and ignorants if it comes to this . Stop threating us

@nzobriens I mistakely made a new comment on your video. I really became annoyed and wanted to goupe you as one among the Hitler a facist. Just look at the way you warned me. You did not even want me to say my opinion. If the world were made by you, i think that world have been by last day. But i bet we live only once. I know that science is the new world if not. how easy could it have been to communicating with who we don't know while biology says that god does not exist.

I told you from the beginng that i don't believe in religion. To find the truth about bible is what i am after, Devil cannot even attempt me because i have traditional rule as principles which tells me much about the way i should follow. I rely on honoesty, and freedom of mine. I really didn't like the way i was harrassed by you going through my comments as if i have done wrong trying to know some fact. We are all students who want to learn more. What is wrong about making a research?

@gjsterp It's a matter of faith an no more! Evolutionists would strongly disagree but with all their "evidence" you still need to take a massive step of faith to believe it happened the way they say - plus they don't all agree either! The evidence behind the Bible, Jesus, Creation is VERY compelling. There is no way to reconcile evolution and the Bible! One is without God the other with!

@nzobriens Good analogy. Ketchup should have been provided.
