I’ve heard people talk as if the Bible were just a myth, to be compared to fantasy works such as Homer’s Odyssey<\/span> or On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life<\/span>.\u00a0 But the Apostles wrote specifically to give evidence for their faith.\u00a0 John said he wrote so that the reader may continue to believe.\u00a0 Luke said he wanted to write down a detailed history of the life of Jesus and the early church.\u00a0 The writers certainly weren’t presenting myth.\u00a0 But I have found that when people are presented with a truth they don’t like, they often try to find ways to reject it.\u00a0 So it would make sense that people who live their lives in opposition to the Bible would try to discount it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for such people there is an abundance of evidence to support the truth of Scripture, and one day truth will come crashing down upon them like a ton of brimstone.\u00a0 I hope that doesn’t describe you!<\/p>\n
