I overheard a discussion the other day about the Bible. One person is a Believer and the other is a Seeker. As the conversation went on I could not be silent anymore. I asked the Seeker if he had read the entire Bible and he said he didn't want to read it. I then suggested that before he criticize the Bible and/or try to prove it wrong he might want to read it all the way through.
He would like to see if the Bible and history correspond together...just read it and find out! Dates given in the Bible have proven to be consistent with historical records but you'll never know it until you read it!
The Seeker proceeded to say the Bible was written by men and I said yes it was, however those men were under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Then I realized something...
People who are critical of the Bible try to understand the Bible from a limited human observation! They are starting in the wrong place! Anyone attempting to understand the Bible must first start with the right perspective - Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning GOD..." You must start with God, not human logic!
So, before you develop your opinion of the Bible, get to know The Author first...then all else will begin to fall in place. You may not understand it all but being guided by Him will make all the difference. He will direct you in what you need to know and when you need to know it. Start today and let the journey begin!
