I just meet a Muslim who told me that he believes the old world religions (Islam, Christianity, ext.) was for us when we did not have science. This is a weird thing because most Muslim people will in most cases be a Muslim for life. I asked him about evolution because he was talking about it allot. He said if I wanted to know the truth I should get a text book because all the other stuff is just jargon and has no meaning to it. It was an interesting conversation, but he was right about the text book.
Not the evolution text book of course, but when you want to know the truth it is best to not just ask a stranger or look it up on Wikipedia. It is best to go to the source. That source is the Bible!
2 Tim 3:16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work
This is the one book that there is no lies or deceit! There are over 2,500 whole or fragmentary copies of the scripture that we posses for translation in order to make sure we do not mistake teaching or doctrine. When someone says, “the Bible is like the telephone game, one person says something and by the end its something completely different.” This is an ignorant statement. There are so many biblical texts and pagan texts that confirm the things that happened in the Bible (For example they just found an inscription from Pilate the one who illegally tried Jesus). It is the oldest and most reliable book we have, and its also Gods word.
I’m not saying to not read books about the Bible or blogs or papers, these are good tools, just not the place to start. Start at the absolute truth, the WORD of GOD.
IT IS THE TEXTBOOK!!! Lets read it and learn God’s truths, not the worlds truths.
Christ be glorified
I found an interesting article on the death penalty and Christianity that explaines some things I believe people often get wrong. Worth checking out: http://dstp.cba.pl/?p=3079
