A Quick Jog Through The Bible: New Testament

By Linda D Moore

This book is not to replace reading the bible, my intent is to make it easier for you to read and understand the bible. I will explain, in plain English, what is said in a chapter. I will explain how a book fits in with other books of the bible by grouping the books. I will show the truth of the Bible and give references for you to gain more knowledge and proof of the validity of the Bible.

The Holy Bible

The Bible is composed of 66 books written by 40+ people. Since the Bible was written by these people over several thousands of years, some skeptics cast suspicions that it was not integrated or true. The Bible can be proven it is integrated and literal and authored by someone outside of our time domain. Many skeptics have argued that specific books do not contain prophecy as they claim the books were written after the events and thus were historical books. Archaeologists have found proof that the books containing prophecies were written hundreds or even thousands of years before the prophecy was fulfilled. Professor Lawrence Mykytiuk confirmed 50 biblical figures in the bible and published in the March/April 2014 Biblical Archaeology Review from Purdue University.

The more you study the Bible; you will discover new meanings for various verses.

Augustine discovered The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed; The Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed.

Most attacks on the authenticity of the Bible concern prophesy contained in the various books , more than 8,000 prophecies. Isaiah and other books by prophets have been under heavy attack. Some prophesy has already been fulfilled. Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies during His life, crucifixion and resurrection. Some of the prophecies were written a thousand + years before His birth. Enoch stated the first prophecy. Some of the prophecies are being fulfilled in our lifetime.

Prophecies fulfilled, authenticate the Bible. Paul tells us that prophecy is the more sure way of faith. The Bible is the only book in the world that makes predictions hundreds or thousands of years before the event occurs. The fulfillment of prophecy authenticates the Bible.

Some agnostic/atheist scholars have argued about the time certain books of the Bible were written. The most attacked book is the Book of Daniel as it contains very detailed prophesy that has been partially fulfilled. Many of the arguments are dismissed once the Septuagint (LXX) was authenticated as being written in 270 B.C. The Septuagint was a Greek translation of all the Old Testament books written in Hebrew and Aramaic and contained the book of Daniel.

The Muslims call Muhammad The Prophet. I have searched the Quran and did not find even one prophecy from Muhammad.

J. Barton Payne in his Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy lists all the prophecies, predictive verses and how many predict different matters. The separate matters is consistent with other subjects in the Bible. There is not a book on baptism. The understanding and practice and meaning of baptism is spread throughout the Bible. In the same manner, there are more than one instance of a prophecy on an important subject. Payne lists 8,362 predictive verses, 1,817 predictions and 737 separate matters.

God knew that people would try to remove verses, so all major doctrines are spread throughout the Bible. The Gnostics in Alexandra, Egypt were the first to remove verses and insert their own words. Some churches today teach that they have replaced Israel in the Bible. To avoid embarrassing questions, they do not teach the book of Revelation. Revelation is the only book in the Bible that claims a blessing to all that read and understand it.

Others attack the Bible since it contradicts Darwin's theory of evolution. The Darwinians have never proven the concept of evolution, yet it still is being taught in schools. DNA was discovered and mapped. Thereafter, because of the complexity of DNA, mathematicians and physicists quickly dismissed the Darwin theory of evolution as being impossible to occur as a random occurrence, as Darwin's theory proposes. Human DNA has over 3 billion possible combinations. The probability of a DNA strand being formed in a random/Darwin process is 1 x 10⁶⁵⁰. To put this probability into non-mathematics terms, it would be like winning every Powerball drawing, each drawing, twice a week, 52 weeks a year, for the next 10,000+ years. Mathematicians and physicists consider any probability this large to be absurd to be done by random chance just as a person winning so many consecutive Powerball lotteries.

Astronomers have many problems to prove their theory of the Big Bang Theory which is simply put from nothing, a big explosion occurred and created the universe. Some of the problems are due to time. Time was first being proven by Einstein as being another dimension and was constant in its speed. Now time has been shown that it is slowing down. Some of the theories used to determine the distance of stars depended on the speed of time and the shift of certain colors of light versus time. There are many quotes in the Bible as to God stretching the heavens and now astronomers are beginning to believe in the heavens being stretched which would account for the jumps in the shift of the light spectrum rather than a smooth, continuous change.

This change is familiar to us as a Doppler shift in sound. When we are standing still, the sound of a police siren on a car coming towards us changes continuously and as it passes us and goes farther away it smoothly changes again. What astronomers are seeing would be similar to us listening to a siren coming towards us and jumping pitches suddenly, multiple times, as it approaches us. This would be accounted for by the police car moving in excess of the speed of sound for a block, slowing down to normal speed, then moving faster than the speed of sound again for a block, then slowing down repeatedly. The same effect that astronomers are observing could be caused by someone, God, stretching the fabric of the heaven instantaneously, thus jumps in the color spectrum of light.

A quick analogy of God's view of time is like us watching a long parade from a helicopter and being able to see the beginning and the end at the same time.

Geologists are having similar problems with their theories that date earth formations millions of years. The depth of the silt at the delta of the Mississippi River indicates thousands of years of deposit and not millions of years.

The Grand Canyon formation is another problem. The geological column used to date layers of earth has never been observed in nature. In fact, layers have been observed in nature out of the order predicted. The Grand Canyon is an example. They had a major problem when dinosaur and
