Hi Blogger,
Biblical Christianity has always held that the Bible is the basis of our belief. After Dan Brown popularised the questionability of the Bible's authenticity many people feel that they have finally found the explanation of why they do not believe.
There is one problem with this view (there's actually a few problems...). If the historical events around Jesus' life and death were made up or fabricated the creators of these "fictional events" should have waited a few decades longer... You see, most of the eye witnesses to Jesus life and death were still alive when the early Gospels were written and the Gospel writers invite their readers to go and check with them.
Here is the beginning of Luke's Gospel: "Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught."
See also 1 Cor 15:1-6 for 500 witnesses that saw the risen Jesus.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we realise that we are unable to make a water tight argument to prove the authenticity of the Bible. It is this thought that make if very hard for so many of us and our friends to believe in you. Would you please show us that the Bible is your Word and give us the faith to believe the good news it contains. Amen
