Bible Questions Answered:
“...after all, how do we know you are preaching the truth?...”
Hank/ Bellevue, Washington U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
“That is a very, good question!”
Thre are countless souls who “relegate the importance of their eternal salvation,” to others. Not knowing themselves what The Bible says, they have been told, they “cannot-interpret” The Bible, so they believe Carte Blanche, what anyone else tells them.
The fact is, we can know The Truth from a lie, if we but take the very important time to “search The Scriptures!”
Acts 17:10-12 NLT (Paul and Silas in Berea)
10 That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched The Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching The Truth.
12 As a result, many Jews believed, as did many of the prominent Greek women and men.
There is only “one,” standard of Truth, and that is The Word Of God (KJV-or original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts).
Searching For The Truth:
