Thy Word IS Truth
In Defense of the Faith

As we progress through what can only be understood as the West's post-Christian era, it becomes increasingly hard to accept the clear teaching of Scripture on faith. The Scriptures tell us that salvation is a gift of grace through faith, so if there are parts of the Bible that may not be true, then how can anyone be sure that the parts dealing with salvation are not reliable?

The Bible was written using the two most specific languages civilization has ever devised, and not a single word of the Hebrew or Greek texts has ever been conclusively disproved.
The Book of Job is believed to be the oldest book, chronologically speaking, written before Moses wrote the first five Books dealing with Creation and the Law.
Job lived sometime before Moses, somewhere in the Middle East. Yet Job records; "He stretches out the north over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing (Job 26:7)
Who told Job that? Especially since it wasn't until 1981 that astronomers discovered a huge, unexplained 'hole' in space in the direction of the northern hemisphere?
Before the time of Moses, Job explained the earth's hydrological cycle, writing; "For He draws up drops of water, which distill as rain from the mist, which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man."(Job 36:27-28)
How did Job know?
The complex nature of how water is supported in clouds despite being heavier than air is clearly implied when God declared to Job "Do you know how the clouds are balanced, those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge." (Job 37:16).
God asked Job; “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the belt of Orion?” (Job 38:31). In the last century astrophysicists have discovered that the stars of Pleiades move in unison with each other, and are thus gravitationally bound.
What else did Job know?
"For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me." (Job 19:25-27)
Then, we have Isaiah's profession that the earth is round, 2000 years before Columbus proved it. ("It is He who sits above the circle of the earth . . ." (Isaiah 40:22)
Einstein regarded the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics as the most immutable law of the physical universe. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that all systems degenerate from order to disorder.
Hebrews 1:10-11; "You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment. . ." confirms the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics two thousand years before Einstein proved it.
To accept the theory of evolution, which is the foundation of the atheist argument that there is no God, one has to throw Einstein out the window and argue the exact opposite.
