THE BIBLE
God's Indispensable Word To Man Part 3
Although the Bible is not set out as a scientific textbook, a large number of now accepted scientific facts, some only formulated in the last two hundred years, are clearly attested in the Bible.
Some examples, cited by evangelist Ray Comfort of livingwaters.com and wayofthemaster.com in his excellent "The Evidence Bible" can be viewed online by googling Bible Facts The Evidence Bible. I will not reproduce them all here, but there is a fascinating list of clear evidences given for many now accepted scientific facts and principles in various scientific disciplines, including medicine and cosmology, provided by the all-knowing Creator God, and recorded by men of God, thousands of years ago for our understanding and benefit.
Such facts as: the Earth being round, and not flat
- the importance of washing hands and infected clothes after contact with sick or diseased persons,
- the importance of blood to our bodies - up to one hundred and twenty odd years ago, people were "bled" to seek to rid them of disease, resulting in many deaths,
- clear Scriptural support for a revolving earth etc.
Ray lists the Scriptural references for each of these facts and others.
Another classic book which makes for fascinating reading is a book called "None Of These Diseases" written by S.I. McMillen, a medical doctor, which has been recently been revised and has sold over one million copies worldwide. It is also a great source of discovery of how the Creator God recorded in the Bible many facts relating to our bodies and healthy living, which have only been confirmed in medicine and scientific endeavours in the last two hundred years.
There are are other websites listing many Biblically attested facts related to science and medicine, astronomy, chemistry, physics and biology.
In John 1:1. we read, concerning Jesus, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Verse 14 reads: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
Jesus said of Himself, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me."
The Bible is not merely a history book, but a treasure chest of the revelation of God to man, and a storehouse of life-giving instruction from the heart of the Living God, that when received by the spiritually reborn child of God through inspiration of the Holy Spirit, has the power to transform the vilest of sinners from darkness to light. THERE IS NO OTHER BOOK THAT COMES ANYWHERE CLOSE TO ITS IMPACT ON MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO HAVE A CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND, AND A DESIRE TO KNOW THE LIVING GOD.
If you have read this blog and would like to know more about how to become a Christian, two websites I can recommend are: livingwaters.com and vision.org.au
God Bless!
