“Today (2020) we have the blessing of seeing the fulfillment of most of the Bible prophecies. It is exciting, encouraging, and motivating to live at a time that allows us to watch God’s plan unfold right before our eyes.”

“External evidence doesn’t “speak for itself”, it must be interpreted,​​ and​​ as I said in my last article,​​ our​​ interpretation will always be in line with​​ our​​ presuppositions​​ (things​​ we​​ believe to be true without necessarily having any proof).​​”

Ask anyone who has read and studied the Bible for very long and they will all have suggestions on how to best read it. The following recommendations are things I wish someone would have told me 30 years ago when I first decided to get serious about reading God’s Word.”

“Another problem with proving the Bible by using external evidence is that whatever is chosen to justify the Bible becomes more authoritative than the Bible itself,​​ thus​​ using external evidence to prove the Bible denies the very thing we are trying to prove.​​ Think for a moment, if the Bible​​ is​​ truly​​ God’s word, then to what more authoritative standard could​​ we​​ possibly appeal in order to defend it?”

“A worldview is something that everyone has​​ and few people​​ ever consider.​​ Simply put, our worldview is how we see the world; not physically, but philosophically.​​ It consists of all our beliefs and reflects our most cherished values.”

“Because​​ Christians​​ have their sin debt paid for​​ by the blood/death of Jesus, they​​ are​​ declared​​ not guilty​​ (justified)​​ and​​ are​​ therefore,​​ made​​ righteous.​​ Our​​ righteousness​​ and justification​​ are​​ not based on​​ anything we do.​​ They are​​ a gift from God.”

“We will be in the presence of Almighty God forever. We will be​​ united with Jesus forever.”

Did you​​ know that you​​ were​​ born with an enemy?​​ The​​ Bible tells us that we were​​ all​​ enemies​​ with​​ God. And furthermore, we​​ were hostile toward​​ him,​​ and alienated from​​ him​​ because of our sin.​​

“We know that sin​​ and death​​ entered the world through Adam and​​ spread to all mankind, thus, all were made sinners.​​ ​​As a​​ result,​​ we are all born in bondage to sin!”
