It's God

          It's hard to believe in something that is wrong. Putting your faith in something that is full of errors would be a foolish and costly mistake. People would never walk over a bridge that had no supports or had holes in it, and the same is true with the spiritual side of life. While people can say that the Bible is 100 percent true because it is showing us God and God is 100 percent true, this is false. The Bible is 100 percent true because God made it so.
          As we can see in God's Word in John 1:1, the Bible is not just the sayings of God or the actions of God, it is God. While the translations now will differ and the wording may have changed, the original writings that were passed through the writers were inerrant and literally God putting himself down on paper. Time and time again the Bible has been fact checked and, each and every time, has been proven correct. You can find fault in His word as easily as you can find fault in Him.
          Why then are not all “holy books” this way? Well, sadly, just because you were born in year 500 BC and write about God does not mean that God is writing through you. Yes, many of these books contain much that we can learn from, but we cannot claim what has come from men as 100 percent fact.
          The main thing to differentiate from the Bible and all “holy” writings is, bluntly, the author. Yes, the scribe was different, but the dictator of His word was the same. We can all rest easy that, like it says in Matthew 5:18 and like God Himself, His word will never change.
