The Bible is the Living and Active Word of God
The Bible is just a bunch of myths?
Ezekiel speaks to the thriving seaport city of Tyre around 580B.C. He tells the city in Ezekiel
26: 12,14: They will plunder your wealth and loot
your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble INTO
THE SEA...14 I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt,
for I the LORD have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD .
Why would anyone throw a city into the sea, yet hundreds
of years later, Alexander the Great lays seige to the city. The inhabitants flee to an island just off the coast. Alexander
is forced to push the city into the sea as to form a causeway to it. That is why the land is so flat, and as bare as a rock. Today,
the area is inhabited by small fishing villages, where the fishermen spread out their fishnets.
Num. 24:17, 19; Micah 5:2
Predict the birthplace of the messiah being in Bethlehem
Gen 12:3; 21:12; 2 Sam. 7:13
Predict his lineage from Abraham, Isaac, and David
Isaiah 40:3; Mal. 3:1
Predict John the Baptist going before him
Isa. 53
Predicts his suffering before death
Ps. 22:16; Zech 12:10
Predicts Christ's crucifixion, before this form of
execution was invented
Isa. 53:9, 12
Predicts Christ's execution with common criminals
Humans have desires and solutions to those desires:
We hunger, there is food;
We thirst, there is water;
We long for rest, there is sleep;
We long for a being greater than ourselves, there is God.
If there is no God, where did we develop this desire for 'gods' that
we have had all through history? Is it that hard to believe? He's waiting.
