Monster Mitch (with degrees)

Neo, let me tell you something. To our ancestors who lived 100 years ago, if you told them people can speak to each other clearly and even see themselves whilst living in two different continents, they'd call it lamba. To us, it is not lamba because we actually lived it. You call it lamba because you saw an INACCURATE AI video based on someone's imagination of what could possibly have happened. The story of the red sea crossing —like almost all biblical stories— are hard to believe considering the fact that we don't experience such miracles and direct divine intervention in our daily lives any longer. So something sounding impossible doesn’t make it false—it may simply be beyond your experience. However, Hebrews 11:6 says: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” This means, we need faith to even believe the Bible to start with, because we are dealing with things that sound esoteric to us. You must have the faith that the bible is true. Interestingly, no one expects you to simply have faith in the bible just because anybody says so. Christians don't just believe the Bible is a holy book without good reason. Christians have good independent reasons to believe in the AUTHENTICITY, FACTUALITY and DIVINITY of the Bible. . There's a reason the Bible is different from every other book including the Qur'an. This is why the Bible debunks such claims as the ones that say it is a man-inspired book for control and other blasphemous utterances. Some of these reasons are: (1) — Fulfilled Prophecies (Literally one of the most interesting things to discover about the Bible). No other book has accurately predicted world events up to centuries before their fulfillment whilst being accurate up to the date. We’re not talking about vague guesses—there are detailed predictions about nations, kings, and events written centuries before they happened. For e.g: (a) Fall of Babylon— Isaiah 44(named before it happened). The prophecy naming Cyrus as the king who would conquer Babylon was written 150-200 years before the event eventually occurred and before Cyrus himself was born. It was stated he would conquer Babylon and free captives. According to History, Cyrus the Great, did indeed conquer Babylon exactly as described and issued policies that allowed exiles return (including Jews). (b) Destruction of Tyre in Ezekiel 26. The method of destruction was described. This was fulfilled when Alexander the Great destroyed the city exactly as stated. (c) Destruction of Jerusalem including the temple, Luke 21. This was fulfilled in 70 AD by the Romans several decades after. (d) The prophecy about the Messiah, Isaiah 53, written 700 years before Jesus Christ. (e) There are many more prophecies including the prediction of the endtime behaviour of humans. And don't even get me started on Daniel's Prophecies! Those ones are a nuclear powerhouse by itself. (2)— Scientific Accuracy Ahead of Its Time. The Bible reflects accurate knowledge beyond human understanding at the time it was written. (3)—Internal Harmony and Consistency: For a book written by 40 different writers of various backgrounds across a 1600 years period to be as internally consistent as to tell a single unified message, only shows Divine inspiration. (4)—Preservation of the Bible and its survival despite serious campaigns to destroy it, as well as the consistency of its message despite having thousands of manuscripts, simply shows there's a God behind it who wants the book read by humans! (5)—Practical Wisdom That Works: A book from God should produce good results in real life—and it does. The whole essence of the Bible is founded on the principles of -Promoting love, peace, self-control, -Encouraging strong families and -Discouraging harmful behaviours. (6)—Honesty About Human Weakness: The Bible doesn’t hide the flaws of its own heroes: (Kings fail, Prophets struggle and Apostles made mistakes). A human-made religious book would likely glorify its leaders—but the Bible is honest and balanced. And (7)—It Explains Life’s Big Questions: -Why we suffer -Why humans die -What happens after death -What the future holds. Only a divinely-inspired book could do all of these accurately. On that basis, we can trust and believe the stories in the bible, like the red sea crossing.

That you can lose your salvation.

Jesus is the way
