Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

Dealing with Doubts - Why I Believe in the Bible, Part 1


Listen Later

In this program, Chip asks: Is it intellectually feasible to believe that a collection of sixty-six manuscripts, by forty different authors, written in three languages, over a period of fifteen hundred years could actually be the very words of God? If you’ve ever struggled with questions about the authenticity and integrity of the Bible, what Chip shares will be a great encouragement.

Main Points
Five plaguing questions about the Bible:
  1. Is the Bible the word of men or the very words of God?
  2. Is the Bible full of myths, legends, and fairytales, or is it historically reliable?
  3. Is all of the Bible true and trustworthy or only portions of it?
  4. Can a Bible that has been translated so many times, for so many hundreds of years, really be accurate?
  5. What makes the Bible so different from all other religious writings and their claims to truth?
  6. 7 Reasons why I believe in the Bible:
    1. ARCHEOLOGY – The Bible is a historically accurate document.
    2. REVELATION – The Bible claims to infallibly reveal the very words and mind of God.
    3. ORIGIN – The Bible is unique. Its origin, structure, and unity argue for a supernatural authorship.
    4. JESUS – believed the Old Testament to be the very Words of God and predicted the New Testament to be likewise.
    5. PROPHECY – sets the Bible apart from all other Religions.
    6. TRANSMISSION – The Bible’s purityand perseverance throughout the centuries is nothing short of miraculous.
    7. IMPACT – The Bible’s power to transform lives is overwhelming.
