For me, the fact that the Bible authors themselves state their own flaws strengthens the argument that it’s authentic.
If you are a medical student, do you read or refer to a textbook written by flawed medical professor? If you are an engineering student, do you read or refer to a textbook authored by a flawed engineering professor?
@@sethsuleiman4419I mean, sure we do, there are plenty of times they too have made mistakes in their own understanding and presentation of their subject matter. Like when a professor in my statics class made an error when solving a problem and someone had to point it out. Does his error mean I can't trust him to teach statics? No, it was a mistake, one that the professor acknowledged. Same for all engineering students who become teachers and professors, they are certainly well versed in their subject, but can still easily make mistakes. Does that completely invalidate anything they teach about their subject? No.
@@xsonicdragon I am referring to the textbook authored by flawed professor; not the teaching session by the flawed professor.
@@sethsuleiman4419 It's the same principle - the writer will do the best of their ability when writing the textbook, and has the benefit of reviewing and proofing what they wrote, but they too are flawed people who can make errors. You can sometimes find errors in the problem sets and answer key they provide. However, I still trust the author of the textbook not on the basis of the author being flawless in their subject, but because they are well-versed in the subject matter. While the books of the bible are certainly a very different subject matter than something like engineering, the authors of each book are well versed in their understanding of God, what he did for them, and God's character. They are not claiming that they themselves are perfect - far from it. But they point to the character of God and recognize that he is moral standard, and made a record of what God did and who he is. It is not because we need the author to be perfect and flawless that we can trust the books in the bible, but rather because they are record keepers who knew God and are explaining his nature and deeds through the books they wrote.
@@xsonicdragon You said, the authors are well versed in the understanding of god and kept records of events.
Who said so, what are their credential (has anyone studied their credentials) and where is the evidence of their kept records?
BTW Some of the writers are anonymous. So, how?
If a statement is true it doesn't matter who says it, it will still remain true.
You are fully correct. We come across a lot of statements by different people. Only issue is that we don't have a mechanism to know which statements are true and which are false.

You just missed the analogy. God is so skilled He can win a round of chess with just a pawn. "That's impossible!" Yeah, for a HUMAN. You also can't save people from damnation by dying on a cross, unless you're LITERALLY GOD.
Do you understand metaphors or do we have to go back to fourth grade English?
@@indigofenrir7236
If you can’t relate it to the human experience then your analogy fails.
No matter how much you spiced up the rotten ingredients it wouldn’t make a good meal.
And god couldn’t beat me at chess with just a pawn.
That’s impossible.
It seems like your analogy only has validity in how unbelievable the bible is.

2 Timothy 3:16.
1 Corinthians 10:11
I appreciate the fact that the writers are flawed people we can relate to. They never call us to follow them but God through Christ who spoke to them and worked in and through their lives.
Had they been potrayed as perfect and drew people to themselves, I'd be much less inclined to believe anything they said.

This is very good. I understand the problems and how people were sinners; who wrote the Bible
I understand also there's nobody on the earth from Adam to the last man that God could ever pick to write the Bible through that wouldn't be a sinner, that's all of us.
The freewillingness of the sinner man to be anointed of God to write through him is what was needed. 🫒
Moses was a male prostitute to the gods on Mount Olympus. Jupiter (as an Eagle) carried him to the top of the mountain. Exodus 19.4.

Christ has been dead for 2000 years my friend.
Not enough evidence to be a Christian
You have to learn to separate the messages from the person. Even bad people can say good and useful things. People who are supposedly good by societal standards can also say bad and harmful things.
You have to be willing to put in the work to figure out if the messages are correct, good, and true.

Wow! Excellent answer. Glory be to God!
It's a good question and an interesting answer. What I would've said is "Since you are a sinner, how can you trust your own thoughts?"
Being written by sinners isn't a problem.
The problem is that it contradicts itself constantly, and doesn't align with reality on a lot of its claims.
Amen 😭 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 right on the bullseye 🎯
If a mass murderer says "2+2=4", he has not removed the truth from that statement.
The truth remains the truth regardless of how you hear it.
The Bible also makes an important point: that despite all these great men in history we read of in the Bible, all of them were flawed. Noah, Moses, David, Paul...
..all but one, Jesus.
It's almost like the Bible's trying to tell us something about Him.
Are you aware of any _evidentiary facts_ that demonstrate this Jesus was a historical person?

@dux657 OK. Can we agree the epistles of the NT are instructional (pastoral) and don't address the historicity of Jesus directly, which leaves the four gospels and Acts as those that do? Yes or no.
Thank you

Does it look honest when people avoid questions?
Do you think you would not avoid any questions?
If one knows the truth would they need to avoid questions?
Do you value truth enough that you would want to know if you are wrong about something or would you not want to know you were wrong?
There you go, "projecting" again.
Wow, what a response 💪🏾
It has always been about FAITH, you either believe what you hear 👂 from the Bible or you don't BELIEVING is the only requirement for salvation Jesus did ALL the work for us.
On his own, Jesus can't save you. Your belief is what saves you.

Yer, I'm not gullible enough to just take the bible on faith.

It was sinners indwelt with the Holy Spirit that wrote scripture(2 Timothy 3:16). It's the only explanation for the all the prophecies made in the old testament that came true hundreds of years later in the new testament.
The Bible contains a number of prophecies that never came true, although it is usually possible to reinterpret them to refer to other events. Here are failed prophecies from the Old Testament and a failed prophecy from the New Testament:
Ezekiel prophesied two separate outcomes for Egypt, total desolation or occupation by Babylon, but neither actually occurred:
Ezekiel 29:12: And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ezekiel 29:19: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Mark chapter 13 has Jesus prophesy his return on clouds of glory within the lifetimes of some to whom he spoke:
Mark 13:26,30: And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory…Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
@@Bugsy0333
Hello, as far as I know the Ezekiel prophescies are endtimes prophecies. So they haven't taken place yet.
And the prophecied return of Jesus is also for the endtimes. Jesus said a Verse before that The Figtree will blossom, and the generation that will see this will see him coming again.
And that did not happen yet.
The figtree blossom means Jerusalem come to believe in Jesus. The Daughter Zion comes to Birth - Born again Christian.

Dignity of causality.
The gravity of causality.
That's one of the reasons why I enjoy reading the bible.
2 Timothy 3:16, ALL scripture is God breathed and given by His inspiration and is profitable for doctrine,for reproof,for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Peter 1:20-21,knowing this first,that no prophecy of the scriptures is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:but holy men of God spake AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
2 Timothy is a known forgery.

Genetic fallacy is also one of the problem of many believers from different churches not only from the atheist.
How can it be a question for a man who reads & understands the Bible?
News flash: We're all sinners.. there is not one person on Earth now or in the past, other than Jesus Christ that isn't a sinner.
What is a sin?
Very much so
Easily answered, but it was still a very good question.
God revealed His words only to the prophets (who are men guided by and approved of god).
Prophets only speak what are revealed to them.
OTH ordinary men are not of prophets. They say and write things, at times, with ulterior motives.
The biblical authors are men, not prophets.
"We have to look at what they said, to see if it's really true". [4:00]
This leads to the idea that the evaluation of the truth is up to each individual... Thus each individual has their own truth... Frank Turek is very 'woke'!
I like to answer the question before viewing the video. It's not the answer I would of given, Frank's is far better. It's not easy to see logic and reason.
A court room judge is appointed, not perfect but appointed to uphold the law and judge accordingly. It's what we have to work with. It's what God knows he's working with. Despite all said about David here, God still said David was a man after His own heart.
Trouble began when Jupiter Created Heaven (Woman) and Earth (Man).
Is that why he had a man murdered?
It takes the whole story to understand not a "gotcha" moment from a piece of the story. It started with one sin that lead to another etc...From II Samuel 11
He'd committed the sin if lusting after another mans wife first. Then he acted on that sin and committed adultery with Bathsheba. Then he tried to cover those sins by commanding Uriah to go home to be with Bathsheeba becauswe she had become pregnant. When Uriah refused to stay on the battefront with his men THEN David committed the last in THIS particular line of sin by having him killed in battle.
The result was the birth of Solomon who eventually became the next King of Israel and was dubbed the wisest man that ever lived. I Kings 4:29-34 But even he had his own sin that lead him astray. Eventually Jesus is born from this bloodline.
I hope and pray what you take from this is how Satan works but how God also can turn around what was meant for evil for His good. Even what can be learned about abortion here. Look what came from an unwanted pregnancy. God knows we are flawed by nature from Adams original sin, not that any of us need help to committ our own sin but throughout history this has happened and will continue. I'm not perfect but I won't give up trying.@@mattr.1887
Most of humanity is lost to hell, according to Christianity. It appears that Jesus' mission was a failure. And Uriah still had to be murdered.
@@mattr.1887
Uriah (aur = heat) and Zechariah (zechar, "to stick in, infigere, of the membrane virile" (Fuerst, Heb. Lex., p. 392) = warmth and venereal desire, are surely two of the most faithful witnesses that could be had in every such case! Taking the language of the Bible, as I do, to be mythical, it nevertheless shows, as language is always sure to do, in any age or country, the true standard of the then ruling morality. And I may safely assert that, as a rule, the greater the amount of religion, or which is the same thing - ignorance, the lower the standard of morality; and vice versa. the greater the amount of intelligence, the less there will be of religion, and the standard of morality will range higher. To many this may seem odd, but it is true, as all history will prove. The instances which may he adduced in proof of the truth of this proposition are very many. One example shall suffice here. This happened toward the end of the fifteenth century, near the close of the "dark ages," when the Christian religion was in the height of its power, and brooked no opposition. " At the siege of Naples in Italy in 1495, a new disease broke out and spread rapidly until it pervaded all ranks. It was syphilis." "If contemporary authors are to be trusted." says Dr. J. W. Draper, "there was not a class, married or unmarried, clergy or laity, from the holy father Leo X to the beggar by the way-side, free from it. It swept over Europe. Its march was equable, unbroken, universal, making good its ground from its point of appearance in the southwest, steadily and swiftly taking possession of the entire continent, and offering an open manifestation and measure of the secret wickedness of society." (Draper, History Intellectual Development of Europe, p. 496.)
Many people are so deluded they believe in human perfection. I was speaking with a guy that considers scientists to be perfect (godly and infallible), and rejects God and anything spiritual. That guy would never accept that God used "broken" people to write his Word. I fear that Satan's lies will prevent that guy from ever accepting Christ.

Why is it necessary to use all of these editorial special effects? They’re more distracting than helpful in my opinion.
How can we be both a sinner and perfectly righteous? As believers now the Holy Spirit seals us. The Holy Spirit didn't seal them back then He would come and go. 2 Peter 1:21 Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit....it wasn't by their own will. God wrote the Bible. You can trust it because it's true. If man wrote it you couldn't trust it. Simply read what it says and see if those things came true or are coming true. I can say yes absolutely they have and no doubt will as we see it coming precisely as written.
2 Corinthians 4:1-7
New King James Version
The Light of Christ’s Gospel
4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor [a]handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Cast Down but Unconquered
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
Revelation states that everyone dies and are before his throne in heaven. It seems to me, people, Christians specifically, are the problem. "for man, it is impossible to enter the kingdom of heaven".
The final battle at Armageddon is between believers (wolves in sheep's clothing) against God. The Churches are building their army of ravenous wolves to war against God. But as hard as they may try to convert unbelievers into Christian wolves, they will fail, because, thankfully, Jesus, the Son, was already victorious. Therefore, He can change the outcome of the warning and shorten those days, so that not all flesh is destroyed. The bad news in doing this, is that anyone who still rejects the Truth at that time, will be cast immediately into the eternal fire, spiritually.
This issue of God using imperfect people who are nevertheless deemed by Him to be usable enough for Him to be able to get things done well enough for His purposes is also a reason why the inspiration of the Bible has not resulted in the inerrancy of the Bible. The church is still struggling with getting our heads around this, but we need to from an apologetics perspective.

The real question is how can we trust the bible if it was written by subjective people who are not prophets? How can we trust the bible which was written by anonymous authors? Contrast this with the Hebrew bible which was unanimously written by proven prophets who are speaking the word of God and every book has the author clearly spelled out
Is it that hebrew bible is also authored by men, not revealed from god. And, these men are not prophets. The writings were attributed to the prophets but that is not a certainty, right?

What makes you so scared to engage and challenge yourself and your beliefs?
Too much animation 😅 keeps getting distracted
Well... Yes, but.
If I hear a preacher tell falsehood, at some point I choose to not listen at all, say Bill Johnson.
I'm sure he says some good and even upliftink things, yet there's enough poison to better not hear it.
We are all sinners.. isn't that exactly what the Bible teaches? "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"
So if God did not use sinful people, who could He use?
He could just appear and talk to us plainly. Much less room for confusion that way.
I never sin my pious friend because I don't believe in magic and fantasy.
@@t-bonewtf Who examined your life and determined that?
Everybody does something wrong, some people apologize for it, others boast about it, but no one is perfect.
He could have wrote it himself. Or is that beyond your gods abilities?
@@harryfaber Speak for yourself you bible thumping, presumptuous religious fanatic! You may believe your life is sinful, but don't drag me into your fantasy. Good luck my friend.

You find Grace through the people God used and uses.. Because if Paul, a murderer, was saved and 100% forgiven.. You and your sins are not bigger then Gods Grace! Hence, look at all the people refured too! Jesus came through a wh@re, and adulterer...
Thank you Jesus!❤
this perfect world stuff is impossible except for God. Man is flawed and God gave us free will to live a righteous life where Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. we are all sinners and God sent his Son to show us the path to him.
Do you really believe that bs?
@@Mavors1099 yep, seen evil physically manifest and present, experienced the Holy Spirit defeat that evil through the collective prayer and love of 45 classmates, with two teachers and a priest present to also witness Our Lord's love for all in 1976. We were from an all boys school, Grade 11 and a very talented yet troubled year on retreat. Three of our mates already into heroine and most of us on potentially destructive paths. Being the humans that we are I can bare witness that most went on to successful and happy lives. 2 of the three on heroine too. I am 64 this year. You call it BS, I call it truth. God bless.
If God can use a donkey,... who cant he use.
Do you know anyone that is not a sinner?
Yes.
Untill you can prove that your god exists, and has given us laws to abide by, no one is a sinner.
What is a sin?
@@Mavors1099 I always had trouble with working out what was cosin, tan and sin. I flunked applied mathematics.
God is changing sinners to saints, this is on going work of the Holy Spirit in a sinner's heart and mind.
Praise the Lord for His love for us who do not deserve for His love.
This love of our Creator and Father
made me a miserable sinner a saint, still working in me as I received love from Him, He made me (and many others around the world) able to love others and bless them instead hate as I did in my sinful life.
Being born again from Spirit and water (baptism by immersing fully in water is a symbol of death in sinful life), going out water believer start new life in likeness of Jesus Christ the Lord receiving the Holy Spirit to guide in every day life to know God and obey our Saviour: the Son of God and God the mediator between Holy God and us sinners who receive reconsiliation with our Holy Father in heaven.
He the Holy ONE, made me (sinner) able to teach others of His words for people salvation.
I would never immagine how God changed me into saint.
Halleluja!
We need to remember we have to humble before Him to receive reconsiliation, to receive forgiveness of sins and His Spiritual gifts 1 Corintians 12 ch.
Stsy blessed and study continuely the Bible. Amen
The Bible was written by God and not sinners.
😂😂😂😂😂
Christian arguments for the Bible: "Trust me bro".
"The only perfect person in the history of the world is Jesus." If that's true then why did Jesus tell his disciples to steal a donkey if "Thou shalt not steal"? Also, why did Jesus curse and destroy a fig tree when he knew it was not the season for figs? Seems like a "perfect person" would know better.
People just don’t want to believe because they don’t want to be told what to do by *God.* People know that they’re going to have to turn from their sin once they believe and that’s something that they for sure don’t want to do.
The Bible doesn’t lie: John 3:19, “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, *but people loved darkness instead of light* because their deeds were evil.”
Has nothing to do with it.
I don't believe the bible because it is clearly not true.
It has talking animals, giants, witches, necromancers, magic, and other mythical creatures in it.
It also has many stories that it claims are true that clearly are not true. Like the creation narrative, Adam and Eve, and Noah's ark.
We don't believe your story because it is clearly not true. Has nothing to do with your supposed gods demands
Books aren't capable of lying. Only persons can lie, not printed books.
It is the unsubstantiated _claims_ proposed within the bible that are likely lies perpetrated by the authors. This 'God' did not write the Bible. Humans did.
So.... You don't believe in Santa because you don't want to be a good boy along the whole year.
@@Mavors1099
Santa is not my *God.*
ALL books are written by sinners! People spend thousands to go to college to become lawyers or doctors, yet their education is based on books written by imperfect, sinful humans. Yet, no one ever complains that the information found in textbooks or workbooks is accurate or could contain errors!
The correct answer is so simple: Except for Paul, none of the people you listed wrote the books you claim they did. Next.
Yes, all are sinners....next. Romans 3:23.
No, we're not. Next..
@dux657 if you don't accept the fact you're a sinner like the rest of us. You'll die in your sins. Jesus calls all of us to repent and acknowledge that we are sinners. Romans 6:23, Acts 3:19.
@@robocop2u2
You mention Jesus but you quote Paul. And something is not a fact just because says so
@dux657 where do you think inspiration to scribe the Bible cane from, humans? No, they are inspired by the Holy Spirit. You need to read and follow context. 2 Peter 1:21. The Bible is objective, not subjective. It's irrefutable and infallible. Psalm 19:7.
@@robocop2u2
So you think that humans who wrote the bible were inspired (whatever that means) by a ghost... Ok
.. 😒😒😒
Why do you have an image of a hippie on your thumbnail?
It's not a hippie, it's the traditional image of Jesus.
Because no one is not a sinner, only some are better at concealing theirs.
What is a sin?
Everything that goes against the word of God!
@@dushonboutte4065
But you don't have a word of a God whatsoever..
You sound as if you have blue hair, sorry for having offended you!

My hair is brown. And even though your stupidity is offensive, I'm not offended.
He seems a little self righteous....bro has not had a fall or a grave lack of judgement. We are all sinners and fall short.....just live a little you will. But Jesus came not for the righteous..but the unrighteous.
