One Bible = One Belief: The Dilemma of Biblical Authenticity
The authenticity of The Bible has come under increasing criticism in the last 150 years from a plurality of sources. However, that is largely to be expected. As the Bible itself explains, it is impossible for the unsaved person who (by definition) is uninhabited by the Spirit of God to understand the things of God:
"Now we have received… the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God… But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."~1 Corinthians 2:12, 14
Therefore, criticism from such sources is hardly offensive.

Can the Bible, for a Believer, be anything less than completely authentic? Click here to continue reading.
