B4. The Bible Itself is Impossible (Without God)

Aetheists often refer to the miracles of the Bible which they have not seen, claiming that the things written as history are impossible. But what is rarely explained is that the Bible itself is humanly impossible. Let me explain:


What we call the Old Testament were written prior to the birth of Jesus. The Jewish people studied and memorized these scriptures and considered them holy. We are confident that what we have today is an accurate reflection of what they had in the time of Jesus, particularly with the discovery if the Dead Sea scrolls in the mid 1900's which confirmed the high degree of accuracy of our Old Testament.

What we call the New Testament was written after Jesus life, but it was all written during the lifetime of people who lived at the time of Jesus giving us confidence in the accuracy of what was written. For people to follow Jesus, believing that He died and rose again and to consider these scriptures to be holy, it seems reasonable to assume that they were accurate. I can't imagine people following, even to death what they knew to be inaccurate or not true.


With all this in mind, we will see the impossibility of Jesus' birth, life and death in light of the scriptures that we call the Old Testament. The parallels between Jesus' life and many of the main 'characters' of the Old Testament, the promises and prophecies given hundreds of years before that are fulfilled in Jesus, the parallels between the law given through Moses and the life and death of Jesus and so much more is impossible ... unless the Bible is supernaturally inspired by a higher designer and that Jesus be a supernatural being, the subject of the scriptures that historians agree were written over a period of many hundreds of years beginning more than two thousand years before Jesus was born.

ARE YOU SURE ... that the Bible is just man-made fairy-tales?
