Part 1 -- Faith is more than just a feeling
Proof that the Bible
is the Word of God!
• “And without faith it is impossible to
please Him [God], for he who comes
to God must believe that He is, and
that He is a rewarder of those who
seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6)
• What is faith?
• Is it a blind leap or is it based on
something solid?

• There are four major books which claim to be God’s inspired word
• Can you name them?
1. Bible (Christians)
2. Book of Mormon (LDS)
3. Vedas (Hindus)
4. Koran (Muslims)
Proof that the Bible is the
Word of God!
• Let’s apply “the test” to each of these books to determine if
any of them are from God
• The Vedas (Hindus)
• Claim that the world rides on the back of a giant
tortoise called Akupara
• This is obvious mythology that fails the test of getting past
history right
Proof that the Bible is the
Word of God!
• The Book of Mormon
• Claims that there was another testament of
Jesus Christ for the peoples of the Americas
• Have the American continents been relatively
heavily populated or lightly populated
throughout the centuries? lightly
• There is not one piece of archeological
evidence to support the places or people
spoken of in the Book of Mormon
• This fails the test of getting past history right
Proof that the Bible is the
Word of God!
• The Koran
• This book is largely a book of doctrine,
with some contradictions in it
• There is no historical base to it, so it fails
the first part of the test
• There are no prophecies to be able to test
• It completely fails the second part of “the
test” (Proclaim the future and make it
happen)
Proof that the Bible is the
Word of God!
• The Bible
• Written by 40 writers over a period of about
1500 years
• Claims that it is inspired by God and that it
reveals His plan for man
• Our next series of studies is dedicated to
putting the Bible to the test under the
conditions of Isaiah 41
Proof that the Bible is
the Word of God!
• The Bible
• Is it accurate when tested from
external means? How does it fare
in the arenas of archaeology,
science, and history?
• Even more importantly, as we
examine it internally, does it prove
a Master Designer who has
foretold the future and brought it
about before the eyes of mankind?
