HOW OLD IS THE EARTH?

The age of the earth has sparked heated debates—even among Christians. Prominent Christian theologians rushed to find some way to fit billions of years into the Bible when they heard that “science” says “The earth is billions of years old.” No one wants to be accused of being unscientific or ignorant. To fit with what the world was teaching, theologians had to put the billions of years between the words “In the beginning, God created . . .” and the words “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Every attempt puts billions of years between “In the beginning . . .” and “male and female he created them.” Here’s the problem. Jesus said: “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.”

A second problem comes up. Either the Flood caused the rock layers or billions of years caused the rock layers. It can’t be both. (You find out more about this here.)

According to a Barna poll, 14% of people who no longer trust the Bible’s accuracy cite this reason: “Science says the world is old.”  But science doesn’t talk. Science doesn’t have opinions. People have opinions. Science is supposed to be a method that is unbiased and always challenging every opinion. The trouble is that people are involved and people are biased.

Why do so many believe the earth is billions of years old? The usual answer: “Because most scientists say so.” Why do so many scientist say so? Because they think most other scientists say so. How many have critically examined the evidence for themselves, and how many just believed what they heard in classes, saw in videos, and read in books? Most scientists feel pressured to conform. In science, you risk your career if you ask certain questions. If you challenge certain sacred cows such molecules-to-humanity or billions of years you lose status. You can even lose your job and your career.

Christian apologists explain and defend the truth of the Christian faith using Scripture, logic, evidence, and philosophical arguments. However, Christians who focus on apologetics often drift away from Christ and into a cold intellectualism that can never lead to truth or any fulfillment in Christ. They often leave the Holy Spirit out of it. They try to defend God while accepting the idea that God doesn’t reveal truth. They try to depend on the carnal human intellect. No one can read Scripture or observe nature objectively. The Holy Spirit must interpret everything.  If the Holy Spirit isn’t leading you, you will follow what comes out of carnal minds that have locked Christ out. We believe what’s written in the Bible because the Holy Spirit testifies to the truth of the Bible.

Ask God to answer these questions:

• Why do some people think the earth is billions of years old?
• Science is a method. It doesn’t talk. Why doesn’t science say anything about the age of the earth?
• Why do ungodly people use surveys or public opinion to get their way?
• Why do some scientists believe in evolution or an old earth?
• What does the Holy Spirit have to do with understanding the Bible?

Bonus questions:

• What is Christian apologetics?
• Jesus said: “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.” How does this destroy the idea of billions of years?
• Why do some Christians trust what is called “science” over the Bible regarding the age of the earth or other issues?
• How does the appeal-to-popularity fallacy apply to the belief in a billions-of-years-old earth?
• What pressures or risks might scientists face when questioning mainstream views like billions of years or molecules-to-humanity evolution?
• What role does the Holy Spirit play in helping you interpret Scripture and nature?
• Why do some Christians drift into intellectualism through apologetics and hinder their relationship with Christ?

There’s one alternative story to the history in the Bible.

The world tells an alternative story to the history in the Bible. It’s the story of molecules-to-humanity evolution and billions of years. Molecules-to-humanity is a story of nothing becoming molecules and molecules becoming humanity. Godless thinking claims this story is science. It’s just a story, and it doesn’t work. Some say it’s a proven scientific theory that fits the evidence. It does not fit the evidence. If it fit the evidence, it wouldn’t violate any scientific laws. A scientific law describes a consistent, universal pattern in nature that has been observed to occur without exception and never been observed to fail. Here are the scientific laws it violates:

• The Law of Cause and Effect
• The Law of Biogenesis
• Mendel’s Law of Genetics
• The First Law of Thermodynamics
• The Second Law of Thermodynamics
• The Law of Information Systems
• The Law of Irreducible Complexity
• Statistical Mathematics

While scientific opinion is ever-changing and isn’t about truth, these laws are the most solid things science has to offer. And the story of molecules-to-humanity evolution and billions of years violates all these laws. There are many other scientific problems with the molecules-to-humanity story. The ungodly system uses coercion, groupthink, message control, funding control, threats, ridicule, and whatever it takes to protect and promote this insane story. Those who believe in nothing-to-humanity can become very dogmatic. They have an argument for everything, but none of their arguments make sense. That’s why they resort to making fun of Christians who believe the Bible and use pressure against them. The main problem with the story of nothing-to-humanity is that the Holy Spirit doesn’t testify to it. The Holy Spirit agrees with the Bible as it is written. While the scientific community makes many mistakes, the Spirit of God cannot lie.

Many Bible-believing Christians rationalize a belief in old-earth theologies. Some of them even include evolution in their written belief systems. None of this comes from the Bible. What most of them don’t realize is that the secular stories about billions of years all eliminate or greatly modify what the Bible says about the Genesis Flood.

In the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. ‘Where is the promise of His coming?’ they will ask. ‘Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.’ But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world of that time perished in the flood (2 Peter 3:3-6).

Ask God to answer these questions:

• What is molecules-to-humanity evolution?
• Why do some people believe in evolution?
• Why do some Christians believe in old-earth theories?
• What does the Holy Spirit say to you about the story of evolution?
• How can you remain faithful to the Bible as you respond to ridicule or pressure from those who support godless scientific theories?

Bonus questions:

• What is the Law of Biogenesis and how does the idea of molecules coming to life violate this law?
• Why do evolutionists dislike what the Bible says about the Genesis Flood?
• How does the “molecules-to-humanity” story violate the scientific laws listed in the text, such as The Law of Information Systems or The First Law of Thermodynamics?
• Why do proponents of the molecules-to-humanity story believe their arguments are valid despite the listed objections?
• Why do some good Bible-believing Christians try to put old-earth theologies or include evolution into their belief systems?
• How does Satan use the godless stories of evolution that put death before sin to undermine the Bible message that death is the result of sin?
• How do you see 2 Peter 3:3-6 fulfilled as scoffers deliberately overlook the Genesis Flood and creation by God’s Word?

Adam and Eve made us slaves. Jesus set us free.

When Adam and Eve obeyed the devil instead of believing and obeying God, they became servants of Satan. You are a slave of whoever you obey. Since they were slaves, they started thinking thoughts that the devil gave them to think. They started speaking and acting as the devil led them. That was the day sin came into the world. Sin is disobeying God, and a spiritual law says sin causes death and suffering. And sin brought death with it since sin causes death and many other problems. Before sin, there was no death, sickness, or disease. That’s how all the trouble in the world started. It’s why people fight and why people get sick. Everything bad came from the bad choice Adam and Eve made. Adam and Eve had children, and those children were born as slaves to the devil. See how one bad choice can cause problems for a long time? Then those children grew up, got married, and had children who were also slaves of the devil. Many generations passed right up until you were born. People tried to obey God but they couldn’t obey perfectly. And guess what? You had the same problem as all those children before you. That’s why you sometimes do the wrong things.

Although that was very bad news, here’s the good news. The good news is that Jesus came to set us free from slavery to the devil. Jesus had to pay the price to buy us back from the devil. And Jesus did pay the price. Jesus is the Word of the Father, and He is God. He became a man by being born. That’s what Christmas is all about. Jesus had to be perfect, so He never obeyed the devil once but always obeyed His Father. Then, He suffered and died for us since the punishment for sin is death. Now, you can be set free from the devil just by believing Jesus and accepting Him as your Lord and Master.

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean to be a slave of Satan?
Why did Adam and Eve start thinking like the devil?
What is sin? (There are several answers and they don’t conflict with each other. Romans 14:23b)
Why did sin bring death, sickness, and suffering into the world?
How did sin cause all the bad things in the world?

Bonus questions:

Why is it impossible for you to obey God perfectly unless God moves through you by His authority and power?
How did Jesus set you free from the devil?
Why did Adam and Eve’s choice to disobey God affect you and all future generations?
Why can’t you obey God without Christ?
Why did Jesus need to be perfect (and never sin) to save you?
How does accepting Christ as Lord set you free from the devil?
Why does Jesus’ perfect obedience to the point of death pay your debt and set you free?

Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.

Worldviews are those inner worlds people have in their minds.

Some people believe in their assumptions, but that’s just plain crazy thinking. Assumptions come out of worldviews. Worldviews are those inner worlds people have in their minds. They aren’t real. They are make-believe. There’s some true stuff there, but who knows what’s real and what’s not real? So assumptions are coming out of this make-believe world inside the mind, and assumptions aren’t real. They are made-up stuff that might accidently be true, but you can’t know for sure. What happens when you try to think back a thousand years or six thousand years. The problem just gets crazy worse. And then there’s the fact that science and logic are biased because people are biased. People have ideas in their worldviews they think are true. They can’t get outside themselves to be objective.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. We know the history in the Bible is true because the Holy Spirit tells us it is. We can trust the Holy Spirit, and we can trust the fact that what God tells us through the Bible is true. God made the sun, earth, planets, and stars. He made all the plants and animals. Finally, He made Adam and Eve. He told them what they should do and what they shouldn’t do. Then the devil came and told them to do what God had told them not to do. They had to make a choice, but they made a bad choice. They decided to do what the devil said instead of what God said.

A spiritual law says you become a slave of whoever you obey. Because Adam and Eve obeyed the devil, a terrible thing happened. They became slaves to Satan. Instead of being children of God, Adam and Eve became children of the devil.

Ask God to answer these questions.
Why are worldviews not real?
How can assumptions sometimes be true?
Why can’t the human mind figure out what happened a thousand or six thousand years ago without divine revelation?
Why are science and logic biased?
Why can you trust the Holy Spirit when He tells you the Bible is true?
Bonus questions:

Why did Adam and Eve become slaves to Satan?
How does your worldview influence your beliefs and assumptions?
If assumptions are unreliable and come from a make-believe world, how can you make decisions or evaluate evidence?
How are science and logic twisted by worldviews, cultural bias, presuppositions, and confirmation bias?
Why did God give Adam and Eve a choice if He knew they would disobey Him?
How did Adam and Eve’s disobedience affect humanity’s relationship with God?
If Adam and Eve became children of the devil, how do you become a child of God?

No chain of thought is stronger than its weakest link.

Some people don’t believe the first book of the Bible happened just the way it’s written. They believe the Bible is wrong or simply symbolic when it talks about the beginning, but that’s not true. It did happen just the way it’s written. The language is that of historical narrative. And the Holy Spirit testifies to the truth of every part of the Bible, including the history.

The Holy Spirit reveals the difference between a poetic phrase and a record of a historical event. And yet, some people say science or something else proved the history or some other part of the Bible to be wrong. Those are lies. Those people are wrong. They don’t understand science. Science doesn’t prove anything, and science isn’t about truth. The best science can do is to show what seems to work in the present. Other than that, it can suggest possible ideas when it wanders off into the never never land of imagination. However, many Christians have strong feelings about this and fight against the truth. “Education” and media work together as a single system like a great false prophet and many are under its spell. The false-prophet system has planted many seeds and has built strongholds in many minds.

What’s the answer? Come into the presence of the Holy Spirit and ask Him about it.

God uses science to reveal how things work. Science and logic can work pretty well to test what works. But any knowledge comes from Jesus Christ whether scientists acknowledge Him and thank Him or not. The records of what has worked in the past can give clues about what might work in the future. Neither science nor logic (the secular form) work to tell us what’s true. And they don’t work well to tell us what happened in the past. The further into the past we go, the worse they work. If you try to figure out why something happened an hour ago, science and logic can seem to work pretty well. If you try to figure out what why something happened a day ago, science and logic can seem to work, but not as well as if it was just an hour ago. When you go back a week, it gets worse, and going back a year gets even worse. Going back a hundred years, you have to depend on what people wrote at the time or interpretation of artifacts. There might be some physical evidence for some things, but you have to make assumptions. The further back in time you go, the more assumptions you have to make. At a certain point, the assumptions seem real, but they are just assumptions.

No building is stronger than its foundation.

No chain of thought is stronger than its weakest link.

Ask God to answer these questions:

Why don’t some people believe the first book of the Bible is true?
What is historical narrative the Bible uses in defining history?
What are some lies people tell about the Bible?
Why can’t science or logic tell you what’s true?
Why don’t science and logic work well for things that happened in the past?

Bonus questions:

Assumptions are things you make up and treat like they’re true. Why must ungodly people depend on assumptions when they try to figure out what happened a long time ago?
Why do some people reject (or interpret as symbolic) the history in Genesis?
What does the Holy Spirit tell you about whether the creation account in Genesis is meant to be understood literally or symbolically?
Why is so-called “evidence” that relies on assumptions (made-up stuff) no stronger than the assumptions on which it is based?
What role do the education system and media play in brainwashing people about the origins of the universe?
Why do you need the presence of the Holy Spirit when you seek answers about difficult questions?
Why are science and logic so limited to uncover truths about the past or spiritual matters?

What does it mean to you that all Scripture is breathed out by God?

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. (Romans 15:4)

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8)

For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. (Matthew 5:18)

Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:20-21)

If He called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— (John 10:35)

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (Acts 17:11)

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19)

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” (John 7:37-38)

Then He said to them, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” (Luke 24:44)

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean to you that all Scripture is breathed out by God?
Why does the Bible tell you to meditate on Scripture day and night?
How did the Holy Spirit write the Bible through people?
Why does the Bible say Scripture cannot be broken? What does that mean?
Why does the Bible warn you not to add or take away from what God says?

Bonus questions:

Joshua 1:8 says “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night. We now understand that human effort cannot obey God’s law. We fail. How does the law of faith and grace overcome the law of sin and death?
What does Matthew 5:18 mean when it says not even the smallest part of the Law will pass away until all is accomplished?
How do you understand the statement that no prophecy of Scripture comes from personal interpretation?
Why is it important for you to examine the Scriptures and test everything you hear against them?

We don’t worship the Bible. We worship Jesus.

God gave us the Bible. He speaks to us through the Bible. Nothing in science or any form of divine revelation will ever conflict with the Bible. And yet, we don’t worship the Bible. We worship Jesus. We need Jesus to understand the Bible. Our fallen carnal minds are deceitful and desperately wicked, which is why problems arise when intellectual theologians start analyzing and rationalizing. There’s a huge difference between revelation and speculation.

When the Bible uses the term “the word of God,” it’s always using language that means God is speaking to us. It’s the word God is speaking to us. Preachers get this wrong a lot, so it can be confusing. For instance, John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Some preachers may say the Word is the Bible, but that makes no sense. If you substitute “the Bible” for “the Word,” you can see how it doesn’t make sense. In the beginning was the Bible? And the Bible was God? No. This was written in Greek, and the Greek words say in the beginning was the spoken word or statement or sentence. It means Father God spoke in the beginning. And this is true for every other place the Bible talks about the word of God. And yet, the Bible does also talk about the Bible. It uses the term, “Scripture.”

Here are a couple interesting Scriptures where God shows us a deeper understanding. In Matthew 4:4 it says, But He answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Here, Jesus is quoting the Scripture that’s telling us to live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. God speaks in various ways, and He gives life by what He speaks. He speaks the Word, which is Jesus Christ. This is deep teaching, so it may require that you pray about it and ask God to explain it to you. Another time, Jesus was talking to the religious people, and He told them, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me. (John 5:39) They thought they could have eternal life in the Scriptures, but they needed Jesus. Jesus is the true Word of the Father.

Ask God to answer these questions.
What might you do if you had a deep conversation with a friend of yours, and you found out that your friend didn’t think a real relationship with Christ was possible, but your friend talked about believing the Bible?
Why do some preachers say the Word is the Bible and they say God doesn’t lead or teach anyone any other way?
What does the Bible mean when it says the Word was with God and was God?
Why does the Bible say you need to live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Father?
How does the Bible show you that Jesus is the true Word of the Father?

Bonus questions:

God speaks to you in many ways. In what ways has God spoken to you recently?
How can you make sure you don’t fall into the trap of worshiping the Bible instead of worshiping Jesus?

Can you feel God’s presence now?

In John 7:37-38, the Bible says we will have the Holy Spirit like a flowing river out of our innermost beings. Think about that! Can you feel His presence now? John 10:35 tells us “the Scripture cannot be broken,” and 2 Peter 1:20-21 declares “no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.” We don’t get to interpret the meaning of any part of Scripture. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal the meaning of Scripture or anything else. When theologians try to figure out Scripture beyond what the Holy Spirit speaks to them, they cause divisions in the church. Much of theology is mere speculation.

SCIENCE

Satan hates the Bible. He has been working hard to try to discredit it. Every branch of science was started by Bible believers, and yet, the devil has distorted science. The devil made rules for science so every scientist is supposed to say God doesn’t do anything. Scientists who openly give glory to God could lose their jobs and be unemployed. The devil has turned science into an anti-God religion. Since the scientists have made a rule that God can’t be the reason for anything, they can use circular reasoning to conclude that God can’t be the reason for anything. In reality, God is the reason for everything. He enforces all the laws of science. The laws of science are orderly. Otherwise, everything would be disorderly. It would be all mixed up, and science would be impossible.

There is a law of science called “The Law of Cause and Effect” that says every effect must have a cause. There is another law of science called “The Second Law of Thermodynamics” that says everything naturally moves toward disorder. Since everything naturally moves toward disorder, scientists should ask what is causing the laws of science. Science that artificially eliminates God has no answer to this question. God reveals that Christ is the One Who is holding everything together. He enforces what we call the laws of science.

SCHOOLS AND MEDIA

The schools and the media have been acting like a lying false prophet for a long, long time, so we must be careful about trusting them. We must obey the Holy Spirit Who tells us to trust the Bible.

THE WORD OF GOD

We can trust what God tells us through the Bible, but we don’t worship the Bible. We worship God. We could get mixed up because so many Scriptures talk about the word of God, and we might think they’re talking about the Bible. When the Bible uses the term “the word of God,” it’s always using language that means God is speaking to us.

Extra Credit:

By the mid-19th century, naturalism (God doesn’t do anything), materialism (the idea that neither God nor anything spiritual exists), and uniformitarianism (the idea that everything continues from the beginning as it is now, so no creation event or global flood with Noah and the Ark) had become dogmatically held beliefs or assumptions in most scientific fields. The ideas of molecules to humanity evolution and billions of years also became part of the belief system. Some say these are axioms of science that are not to be questioned, and every new observation must be interpreted according to this confirmation bias. Why has this set up a condition where questioning these anti-God assumptions is considered evil and wrong even though these assumptions are nothing but unsupported claims that have no basis in reality?
Since the prevailing assumptions used in science tend to turn science into an anti-God religion, how can Christians reconcile science and faith in a way that honors God without compromising with Satan?
Since the Bible always refers to God speaking when it talks about “God’s word” and most theologians have missed this, what is the distinction between believing the Bible and worshiping God Himself?

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS THROUGH THE BIBLE

It’s true that no observation conflicts with the Bible. However, we can’t use the fact that no observation conflicts with the Bible to prove that we can trust the Bible. If you talk to an atheist, the atheist will tell you that you committed a fallacy known as “appeal to ignorance” (or argumentum ad ignorantiam). Those are big words, but it means someone claims that something is true simply because no one proved it false or something is false because no one proved it true.

So, it’s not proof. It’s a pretty good indication, though. The Bible transforms lives. Millions of people have experienced deep personal change through its message. The Bible teaches about God’s love for us and His plan for our lives. People find peace, purpose, and hope by following its teachings. And yet, that doesn’t prove the Bible’s true either. There’s only one way we know we can trust the Bible. We know we can trust what the Bible says because the Holy Spirit tells us we can trust the Bible. If we didn’t know God, we couldn’t know the Bible is true. We know God, and He tells us the Bible is true. Not only that, but He even speaks to us through the Bible.

The Bible is inspired by God. The Bible tells us that Jesus said “For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished” in Matthew 5:18. In Luke 24:44, Jesus said, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Jesus also said, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me (John 5:39).

Ask God to answer these questions.
What does “appeal to ignorance” mean?
Can you prove the Bible is true just because no one has proven it wrong?
How does the Bible change people’s lives?
Why can you trust the Bible?
How does the Holy Spirit prove the Bible is true?
Bonus questions:

What does it mean that the Bible is inspired by God?

The Holy Spirit speaks through the Bible.

Many people think when the Bible talks about “the word of God” it’s talking about the Bible. That’s not true. And yet, the Bible is God’s word. That sounds like a contradiction, but it’s not.

The Bible is the word of God because it’s one of the ways God speaks. While there are many ways God speaks, no other revelation will ever conflict with the Bible. God never conflicts with Himself. For example, Acts 17:11 lets us know we should use the Bible to check if something is true or false. One word of caution. It’s very easy to get confused between our interpretation of Scripture and Scripture itself. Allow the Holy Spirit to correct your deepest preconceptions and interpretations of Scripture. Scripture says if you think you understand anything, you don’t understand it as you ought to understand it. Two words are used in the New Testament: “rhema” and “logos.” The word “rhema” refers to God’s leading whether through the Bible or any other means by which God speaks. The only Scripture where “logos” seems to refer to the Scripture is Mark 7:13, but even that is not explicit. We know this. The Bible never speaks to us without the Holy Spirit speaking through the Bible.

We know the Bible is reliable because the Holy Spirit confirms this fact to us whenever we ask Him about it. Nothing that has been observed in science has ever conflicted with Scripture, but many tricky lies and false ideas have conflicted with Scripture. The same is true of archeology or other areas where humans try to explore reality. Over the years, historical discoveries have consistently confirmed the Bible’s accuracy in describing events, places, and people. Archaeological findings and ancient manuscripts support the Bible’s reliability, showing that it’s not just a collection of stories, but a record of real events. Experts and scientists often present their opinions as if those opinions were facts, and those opinions often conflict with the Bible. Later, we find out the opinions of the scientists and experts were wrong, and then they come up with new wrong opinions and errors. Despite being written thousands of years ago, the Bible is still true today. Nothing real has ever been shown to conflict with the Bible. Some people say they are right to distrust the Bible, but those people don’t know the difference between reality and made-up stuff.

No observation conflicts with the Bible. No divine revelation of any kind conflicts with the Bible. Divine revelation often conflicts with interpretations of the Bible.

Ask God to answer these questions:

When the Bible refers to “the word of God,” how is that different from saying “the word of God” is the Bible?
How has the Holy Spirit shown you the Bible can be trusted?
What do you do when so-called “scientific discoveries,” “theories,” and “expert opinions” conflict with Scripture?
Why does Divine revelation often conflict with interpretations of the Bible?
When the Scripture uses the phrase “the word of God,” what is it talking about?

Bonus questions:

How do you know science or history will never prove the Bible wrong?
Why do some people not trust the Bible?
How could listening to ungodly council and the opinion of godless thinkers distort your thinking?
Since most of what comes through the education systems, news media, and entertainment is godless, what does God tell you right now about those things?
