The Bible Superstition or Authority? – Herbert W Armstrong hwalibrary.com

The world’s best-selling book, the Bible, evokes awe, passive discredit, and misunderstanding. Why does it remain a mystery to many, with diverse interpretations among traditional Christian churches? The crucial question arises: Is the Bible the authoritative Word of the Creator God, or a product of ancient human speculation?

In examining this, the author highlights the dichotomy in education—those with university backgrounds often leaning towards evolutionary theories, while some in the “Bible Belt” accept the Bible’s authority on faith alone. A prominent evangelist confessed to accepting the Bible without proof, relying on faith. Yet, the Bible challenges readers to “prove” its authenticity.

The author shares a personal journey of facing doubts in 1926, questioning both evolution and belief in God. A deep study ensued, delving into evolutionary theories and contrasting them with the Bible’s authoritative statements. The Bible’s unambiguous, positive claims stood out against the speculative nature of some scientific theories.

Prophecy emerges as a central proof of divine revelation, challenging skeptics. The Bible’s predictions about the destiny of nations, fulfilled with precision, serve as evidence of its divine origin. The narrative shifts to the fulfillment of a prophecy regarding the Jewish people, and specific fulfillment regarding the tribe of Ephraim, predicting their return to Palestine in 1917.

The meticulous fulfillment of this prophecy on December 9, 1917, when the Turks surrendered Palestine to the British, aligns precisely with the Bible’s timeline. The author asserts that prophecy is an irrefutable proof of divine revelation, emphasizing the Bible’s authority in foretelling future events.
