Only one God has the ability to foretell events in the distant future, as evidence of His existence and the reliability of His Word!
Bible Unity
The Bible, actually a library of 66 books, was written over a period of 1500 years by about 40 different authors. It covers topics such as creation, history, prophecy and Gods plan for the world, without any apparent internal contradiction. Parts of the Bible are over 3,000 years old, and it contains the oldest and the most reliable records of ancient history ever written. The Bible claims to have, ultimately, one author, God, who chose to communicate appropriately at various times through many different kinds of people. The inspired writer to the Hebrews says, God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1:1-2) [NKJV]
In Him We Live
About two thousand years ago, the Apostle Paul noticed that the people of Athens apparently acknowledged that some higher power must have created everything. They created hundreds of gods and temples to these gods, struggled to please them all, and even made a temple to the unknown god, in case they missed something. Paul told a group of Greek philosophers, God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with mens hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring. (Acts 17:24-28) [NKJV] God made the world, lives everywhere, and gave life to us and every creature. Our DNA shows that all men share the same ancestry. Paul showed the well-educated Greeks that the same God that they had been trying to reach has never been far away. It is mankind that moved away from God. Our very existence, every moment we are alive, depends upon the presence of God. Intelligent, scholarly skeptics, who have attempted to disprove the Bible and the existence of God, find overwhelming evidence that the Bible is true and that God is the author. We can depend on the Word of God to be a reliable book that not only accurately describes past and future events, but also answers the issues of our daily lives, including the existence of God Himself.
