2 Timothy 2:24 – 26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness INSTRUCTING THOSE THAT OPPOSE THEMSELVES ; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth ; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil , who are taken captive by him at his will. 2

The Bible There Is Unity to the Bible The entire Bible was written by about 40 individuals over 1,500 years, yet it is very consistent in its message. The Bible Is Supported by Archaeology Archeology for every event in The Bible has not yet been found, but none has been found that disproves any of Scripture. 12
The Bible Fulfilled Prophecy Fulfilled prophecy distinguishes the Bible from any other religious book. It does not cast the authors in a very good light From the fall of mankind to the sins of the Patriarchs, Israel, the Apostles and the early church Consistency of Manuscripts Thousands of manuscripts have been discovered dating back over two thousand years with almost no variation 13
The Bible Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 14
The Bible 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith , not by sight: Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith . Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God , who loved me, and gave himselfr me . 15

The Bible 1 Corinthians 1:18 – 31 [18-20] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness ; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God . For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world ? 18
The Bible 1 Corinthians 1:18 – 31 [21-24] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock , and unto the Greeks foolishness ; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God . 19
The Bible 1 Corinthians 1:18 – 31 [25-27] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 20
The Bible 1 Corinthians 1:18 – 31 [28-31] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus , who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption : That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 21
The Bible 1 Corinthians 2:12 – 14 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God . Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned. 22

The Bible …I was condemned to destruction by my own sinful actions …That God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins so that I, by His sacrifice, can avoid the condemnation I deserved and live with Him forever in paradise. Yep, that’s me ☺ 27

The Bible The World attempts to frame this argument in a manner that allows no room for honest consideration of the truth – many minds are trapped in this framework Examples of framing: - Faith is contrary to reason Acting on faith requires the suspension of reason - Religion is the opposite of science Believing in the Supernatural eliminates the possibility of being ‘scientific’ 30
