Undeniable Proof For The God Of The Bible
by Joe
Has anyone ever told you that they don’t believe in Jesus because they believe in science with a capital “s” or evolution with a capital “e”. In todays lesson, let’s explore how with just our Bible, we can make sense of the world, history, and all of the sciences in a relatively short amount of time.
Anthropology
- Cave men (Job 30:5-6)
Astronomy
- The # of stars when they were limited by sight (Gen 22:17 / Jer 33:22)
- Uniqueness of stars (1 Cor 15:41)
- Order of the cosmos (Jr 31:35-36)
- Suspension of earth (Job 26:7)
Biology
- Bio-genesis (Gen 1:11-12)
- Link between mental and physical health (14:30 / 16:24)
Geology
- The earth’s crust will never be broken (Jer 31:37)
- Shape of the earth (40:22)
Hydrology
- Hydro-logic cycle (PS 135:7 / Ecc 1:7 / Isa 55:10 / Jer 10:13)
- Evaporation, circulation and condensation (Job 36:27-29)
- Water in clouds (26:8 / 37:11)
- Hydrothermal vents 3,000 years before their scientific discovery (Gen 7:11 / Job 38:16)
Meteorology
- Circulation of the atmosphere and winds (Ecc 1:6)
- Currents (28:25)
Paleontology
- Dinosaurs (Job 40:15 / 41:1)
Physics
- Nuclear process suggestions (2 Pet 3:10)
- Instant communication (Mat 24:30 / Rev 11:9-11)
Science
- There is no scientific evidence that contradicts the Bible, just alternate perspectives and theories.
- The Bible is consistent with known scientific facts.
Secular History
- (Jewish) The Antiquities of the Jews, book 18, chapter 3, paragraph 3
The famous historian Flavius Josephus writes:
“Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works—a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.”
- (Roman) Book 15, chapter 44 of The Annals:
In 115 AD, P. Cornelius Tacitus wrote the following passage that refers to Jesus (called “Christus,” which means “The Messiah”)
“Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind. Mockery of every sort was added to their deaths. Covered with the skins of beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or were nailed to crosses, or were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired.”
The Verified Texts
- The Dead Sea Scrolls Confirm the Old Testament despite over 2,000 years passing
- Over 20,000 known manuscripts of the New Testament are documented making it the most reliable historical document of antiquity
- In spite of different nationalities, languages, cultures and backgrounds, the texts all agree
Witnesses
- No one could successfully write off persecuted Christians as a cult
- No witness (Jew or Roman) stopped the New Testaments creation after Jesus’ resurrection
- Evidence to refute Christ was not presented to slow the growth of His followers
Predictions
- Messianic (those concerning our Savior)
- Jesus fulfilled 371 of these
- 2nd Coming (those that have yet to pass)
- Those Regarding Nations
- Consider why the land in Petra is still bare today
- And why Egypt no longer rules over other nations
QUESTIONS TO PONDER
- How can someone successfully deny Jesus or the Bible?
- Does science disprove Jesus or the Bible’s accuracy?
- What are the three biggest objections to Jesus you have heard?
- How do you feel a non-believer would explain “truth”?
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
- What do you think are the three most compelling factual scriptures to show non-believers about the accuracy of the Bible?
- How are non-Biblical sources lacking in their explanation of life as we know it?
- Think about the three most compelling statements that have been presented to you about the accuracy of the Bible either here or elsewhere and write them in a way that you would speak them to someone else.
- For example: “Jim, you know the Bible and Jesus have never been dis-proven by anything over the history of all time. Most people just put their questions on the back burner. But God explains what will happen to those people who deny the truth their whole lives in Matthew 10:33, I don’t want that to happen to you”.
