Bible Spoken Here

I have encountered people who just can’t believe the Bible because---

Who made God? You can’t see Him or hear Him, so how do you know He exists?

How could the Israelites have crossed the Red Sea with the wall of water on each side of them, and then later make the golden calf Idol as their god? I don’t believe there was a wall of water or a miracle to see.

How could those people who spread palm fronds and shouted Hallelujah when Jesus entered Jerusalem as the Messiah then turn around and shout crucify him! at his trial?

If there is a God, then why does He allow suffering and evil to exist? Why doesn’t He fix it?

If he is a benevolent God, why isn’t everyone saved? How can He send them to Hell?

I don’t believe that the virgin birth of Jesus happened. It just doesn’t make sense. I don’t believe it!

If there Is a God, why would He have put His Son on the cross to suffer? What kind of God allows for that? What did it solve?

What’s it all about, being saved or not being saved?

I think we just die, and that is the end of it.

Why does God allow Satan to influence us?

What about those people who never heard of God or Jesus? Do they go to Hell?

After searching for these answers, I have found the following answers to these and my own questions.

I use the King James original version of the Bible. I have looked at other versions and believe they are easier to understand, but the original King James makes me think deeper. I like that!

Who Made God?

God is not a figment of our imagination.

He is as real as we are. I believe that God was not made by anything, but has always been. He didn’t just spring into existence by chemicals coming together because He made the chemicals that are in existence. He didn’t come from spontaneous combustion or any such thing. Everything that exists came from something prior, such as a flower came from a seed, but God came from nothing!

That is the only answer, and we just have to accept it.

If He has existed forever, as I believe, then you must wonder what He has been doing all that time before He decided to make man.

He made the Angels, He made the universe and put it in order. He caused the earth to be able to support life, and He made Satan.

Evidently, Satan was allowed in the Garden of Eden before he became so proud of himself and fell out with God. Ezekiel 28:12-15 tells the story of the Prince of Tyrus, a man who continued to do bad things, so God destroyed him. Then, it tells of the King of Tyrus, the cherub in command of the Prince of Tyrus, who was in the Garden of Eden earlier. This was not a man, but rather Satan. He was the covering cherub that fell from God’s grace because of his outrageous pride.

Satan was controlling the king of the city of Tyrus. God promised Satan that his days were numbered, but not yet.

God allowed him around for a while. I explain what happened between God and Satan like this:

God, as the owner of the Earth, created Satan to help in the operation of it. God taught Satan how to make everything work smoothly. After a while, Satan began to believe that he could run things better than God, so he planned to do things his own way using God’s employees (angels).

Can you see that? Satan’s pride in himself brought his fall from God’s favor.

In the book Genesis 1:27, God made Adam, and
