Some people believe the Bible is a book of myths and legends and esentially irrational, sophomoric and irrelevant. Others believe parts of it (most likely the parts they agree with) are inspired by God.
Yet still others believe the Bible gives evidence of its reliability and inspiration by God so widespread and compelling, they are convinced not only that the whole Bible is inspired by God, but that far from it being irrational, sophomoric and irrelevant, it is rational, deeply intellectual, defensible, reliable and trustworthy and very relevant today.
So relevant that in daily, prayerful reading, especially study, of it's passages, their lives have completely changed for the better, something their families and friends, even the skeptical ones, can confirm.
I encourage you to investigate the evidence in the Bible of a loving, forgiving, fair and personal God and sincerely hope and pray you find what you're looking for:
...an all-powerful, forgiving and caring friend who has given us a love letter and guide to a meaningful, fulfilling life, promising again and again to always be there for us, through good times and bad. skip
Why does God allow bad things to happen to people? Is God slow to forgive and forget? Is God going to torture bad people in hell for eternity? Does God control us or give us freedom? Does God want us to obey out of fear or out of love?
If God exists and the Bible is reliable, are most Christians right in what they believe the Bible says about these troubling questions? Or are they mistaken? skip
Non-Christians tend to see Christians as hypocritical, non-intellectual, naive, even stupid, using Christianity as a crutch to get through life.
However, committed Christians, after carefully and prayerfully studying the Bible, argue - and scholars agree - there is compelling evidence that God, through the Bible's writers, very accurately predicted - not wrote after the fact - that a representative would be sent to show us what God is like, rescue us from and banish evil and give us an eternal life of peace and meaningful communion.
They also argue there is ample, compelling evidence in their own lives that Jesus' promise to send another representative to change their hearts and minds to his way of thinking has come true and that they are enjoying the benefits of that change...
...such as victory over character flaws, dysfunction and addictions, healthy relationships, peace of mind and confident hope of his guidance and help through life's trials and of his soon coming.
Former skeptics, even once-ardent atheists, who have become believers, agree and claim, from personal experience, that there is definitely something revolutionary about Christmas. skip
''Cultures in every part of the world have focused on symbols and events that would signal when the end times would be upon us. Are those predictions coming to pass? Which predictions should we believe? And is it possible that in the 21st century, science and faith might come together to give us the answers?''
''These special presentations bring a modern spin to ancient prophecies when they take on these questions and more in intriguing investigations into the most alarming trends to hit the headlines in recent years.'' - i Network skip
