THEM: “I can’t trust the Bible, it was written by men.”
ME: Yes… about 40 of them. Most were Jewish, one was a Gentile. They lived on three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe. They spoke three languages—Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. And they wrote over a span of about fifteen centuries—from Moses around 1400 BC to the Apostle John around AD 90.
These weren’t men in the same room, deciding on a story together. They lived in different eras, under different governments, in different cultures. Some were kings, some were farmers, some were prophets, some were fishermen, one was a physician, and another was a tax collector. They had different educations, social standings, and life experiences.
Some wrote from palaces, others from prison cells, still others from exile. Some wrote in times of peace, others in the middle of war. Yet despite all these differences, their writings flow together with one united message: the creation of the world, the fall of humanity, God’s covenant promises, the coming of the Messiah, His death and resurrection, and the promise of His return.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one continuous story—God redeeming mankind through His Son, Jesus Christ. It doesn’t contradict itself in its core message, but instead reinforces the same truth again and again over 1,500 years of history.
That’s not the result of human coordination. That’s the work of the Holy Spirit guiding human authors to record God’s Word without error in its message.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)
The Bible isn’t just man’s words about God.
It is God’s Word to man. 🙏🏻🤍
