A response.

(: Hello all.
A while ago I had written a response to a young girl who was asking me many questions about God. She claimed to love Him, yet she did not obey His commands, or read the Bible, or go to church, or any other of the central spiritual duties of every True follower of Christ. Her questions/ problems were:

＊ I don't like to read the bible, i don't trust it because i fear the government has rewrote it. The bibles been translated so many different times. i've read a bit of the bible though, a lot of it doesn't sound like something god would do or say. :/
＊i've been too so many bad churches, baptist are the worst D: that's what i was raised with, and i got a little older and found out how twisted some of the people really are. if i go to church im going to a non denominational one since its not a religion church
＊ one question is where did the cavemen go?
＊ the other is i want to know who created god.
＊ the last one has to do with the planets, you know how all of them we can't live on ? what if the end of the world was on other planets too? and when earth is gone, if the cycle will start over again on mars or a different planet, or even in a new universe O_O!

And so here is my response I had written to her~


Ah! (: Well then finally I am here writing out my reply, haha!
Sorry I took so long @____@! I was doing alot at home, and going to see the work at our new church, and wah!

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that God Almighty may open your heart and understanding to really read and understand what I wrote below. Please read carefully and may God have you know completely that what I am saying is true, and that He Himself may prove it to you. Above all, may God be glorified, and use it as He sees fit! Amen.

Well my friend! Be of good cheer, because there is ample evidence that the Bible has stayed exactly the same as it was first written! (:
Most notably in the form of the manuscript "textus receptus", which is the same manuscript used for the amazing and timeless King James Bible.
Satan has tried to, many times, defile the Bible, and has produced counterfeit manuscripts such as the "Alexandrian and Vaticanus manuscripts", used in some of the "newer Bible versions", but such is NOT the case with the textus receptus, aka the King James Bible. It is the MOST faithful!
Now, to show you that the Bible is truly the Word of God, we'll look at a few things. (: More than 600 times, the Bible states that it is the VERY words of God. Now, a book truly written by God would have to have divine and unique qualities. One of these would be its ability to transform the lives of those who read it. God definitely changed mine, and still continues to do so the more I read it !
Also, like I mentioned, even though Satan has tried to mess with the Bible, and other people have tried to discredit it many times, it would be impossible to truly wipe it away from history or tamper with it completely because God Himself said in Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.", and in Matthew 5:18, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.". See also (1 Peter 1:25, Isaiah 40:8, 51:6; Psalm 119:89; 12:6-7; 19:7-8; 111:7; Luke 16:17).
Now, if the Bible is truly written by God, then it could not have been altered by priests, monks, the government, or councils of the church, as some people believe~ Logically, what human being could alter what an omnipotent Being had promised He would protect from being altered?
It can be historically shown that the scribes took INCREDIBLE, almost supernatual care when hand copying down the scriptures! (This was before the advent of the printing press.) Such precautions as the following made it virtually impossible for errors to creep into the copy:
♦The scribe counted the number of words and letters on both the copy and the original. They had to match precisely.
♦The scribe determined the precise middle letter of the page, then made certain it was the same on the copy.
♦One stray blot of ink invalidated an entire copy, and it was destroyed by fire. This was because of the nature of Hebrew, which does consist of very small strokes of the pen which could be mistaken for small ink smudges.
♦The scribe could not copy more than one word from memory without looking back at the original.
♦The scribe added up the numerical value of the page (Hebrew letters are numbers too). Both the copy and the original had to precisely agree in sum.

Another proof that God wrote the Bible is its ability to foretell the future with 100% accuracy.
Unlike psychics and sorcerers found in the popular press, the Bible has hundreds of prophecies in it, and every one which was due to come true has done so- without fail. God, Himself, tells us to use His prophecies to test and compare Him to other "gods."
»» "Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me."

A full discourse on the prophecies of the Bible and their astonishing accuracy would be an entire different book. The serious researcher (or soul-winner) is referred to works such as Evidence That Demands a Verdict, by Josh MacDowell, for more substantial material on this vital, scientific way of establishing the Bible's authority. Here, however, are a few "nuggets":

1) Jesus' birth, life, death & resurrection, contained the fulfilment of 322 distinct prophecies from the Old Testament. Just consider 48 of the hardest to fake prophecies -- Ones over which Jesus or His disciples had no control whatsoever, such as this small sampling:
♣ His being born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2)
♣ Kings from the east come to worship Him (Psalm 72:10)
♣ Being crucified amid two thieves (Isaiah 53:12)
♣ Being wounded in His hands by those who should have been His friends (Zecharaiah 13:6)
♣ Being betrayed by 30 pieces of silver (Zecharaiah 11:12)
♣ His clothing being divided and His vesture being gambled over (Psalm 22:18)

The odds against any one man fulfilling all these prophecies is 1 in 10 to the 157th power! That is a ten, followed by one hundred and fifty-seven zeroes! Those odds are beyond astronomical. You would have an infinitely better chance of winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning!

To put those odds into perspective, there are millions of electrons, sub-atomic particles, in the human body. However, in the entire, vast expanse of the known universe, there could not be 10 to the 157th power electrons!

2) Ezekiel made on prophecy in Ezekiel 26:3-21 (c. 592-570 B.C.), about the city of Tyre. It came true to the tiniest detail. Yet scholars have determined that just that ONE prophecy (out of hundreds), being so accurate through human wisdom had incredibly strong odds against it-- 1 in 75,000,000! Ezekiel made many other similar prophecies about the destruction of cities. All of them have been fulfilled to the letter!

Now, someone might say that these prophecies were written after the fact, or falsified in some way, however, one of the biggest proofs that the Bible has remained the same for thousands of years, and that validates what I wrote about the accuracy of Bible prophecy even more would be the existence of the Dead Sea Scrolls. We have proof that all the prophecies in Isaiah about Jesus (for example) were in existence hundreds of years before Jesus was born. Thus, they could NOT have been written afterwards. In 1947, one of the first scrolls to be discovered in the Qumran caves near the Dead Sea was a complete scroll of Isaiah. It is approximately one foot wide and twenty-four feet in length. Even though it is older than the medieval manuscript of Isaiah by one thousand years, a comparison of these two ancient manuscripts reveals the accuracy with which God's Word was copied during those one thousand years. It was dated around 100 B.C.

We could continue examining more proofs of the validity of the Bible as the Word of God, however I will end with one final point. The Bible is the BEST attested of any ancient manuscript. That means the number of ancient copies we have of it to cross-check are substantial (thousands, actually), and they are dated very close to the time of the actual events being written about. (:

To answer your question about the cavemen: there weren't any! The theory of Evolution, the Big Bang theory, and all its spinoffs were propagated by atheists, who refused to believe in God and obey Him. This is a fact. God says in Genesis that He created Adam and Eve, and they were the first human beings! Instead of getting into a HUGE new discussion on this (I'm sure your. really tired after reading what I wrote above, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you watch this awesome video about Creationism, and this will answer all your questions about that! Kent Hovind: The Age of the Earth

I do pray you will watch that video! It is so very important that you do (:

Your next question, who created God? Well. No one! God is God in and of Himself! He would not be God if He were created. This would start a chain reaction called an infinite regress. You would keep asking "Then, where did the being that made God, come from? And where did that one come from? And that one?" So on and so on. Here is a wonderful article with all the information you need to know about why God does not need a "cause". God is God! The Bible says, "Who was, Who is, and Who is to come!" Click here for a more detailed explanation!

Your last question, when the end of the world comes, on that day when Christ comes back to defeat Satan once and for all, after He takes up His church with Him to Heaven and after the Great Tribulation where God's wrath is poured out on earth, the Lord is going to destroy this whole world by fire. He is then going to create a new earth, and Heaven will be brought down to it (: This is final. Those who trusted in the Lord for their salvation, because only salvation is found only in Jesus Christ, who were Born Again and obeyed&loved Him, those True Believers will be with Him forever! Sadly, those who trusted in themselves for their own salvation, will be in Hell. There will be no life after this, on other planets or anything. The Bible says, "It is appointed unto men to die once, and after this, judgement." We will all die one day. Are you prepared for that day? If you died today, where would you be, Heaven or Hell? The Bible says we have ALL sinned, all broken God's commandments. God is SO holy, that He cannot tolerate sin! We were created by God, perfect, without sin. However, Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, and that messed EVERYTHING UP! All of creation was gravely infected, a disease plagued the Earth, called sin. Sin is breaking God's law, disobeying Him! We have broken all of God's laws. Think about it. We've all lied, stolen. I'm sure you have been disobedient to your parents, and have not always put God in first place. We have not always loved God with all out heart, soul, mind and strength! We have lusted, coveted, hated. Because of these crimes, we must pay the punishment for them! Hell is what is reserved for sinful man. We cannot buy our way into Heaven. No good works, no sort of bribery, we cannnot do ANYTHING to save ourselves. In Isaiah, the Bible states that even our most righteous deeds are trash compared to His infinite holiness. And here we are at a dilemna. How can we escape the punishment our sins deserve?

However... there is Good News! God made the perfect plan for us to be made right with Him. He took the form of a man, Jesus Christ, lived a perfect life, never sinned. He is fully God, and fully man (being born a human, with human flesh, but has always been God before His incarnation). God's plan was to pay the price for our sin, in His own blood. Jesus DIED on the cross, taking the punishment that you and I RIGHTFULLY DESERVE, UPON HIMSELF. The full wrath of God, the holy hatred, and anger of God, fell upon Jesus Christ on the cross. He suffered and payed the price for our sins. For us. After 3 days, Jesus Christ rose from the dead (For it was not possible that death should hold Him, He's GOD!), and is now in Heaven, and "commands all men everywhere to repent!". The Bible says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." How amazing! How extraordinary beyond belief! Now, if we place our trust in Jesus Christ, if we repent (turn away from our sins, in other words, change our minds about sin), and place our trust in Him, we can be saved! Jesus sacrifice on the cross fully met and satisfied the demands of eternal justice by God. His precious blood is the only thing that can wash away our sins.

I hope you understood everything that I said. The Lord God has put me here in your life for a reason! Please read everything, feel free to reread and absorb everything. If you have any more questions, please let me know!

I love you so dearly, (censored for privacy). May God bless you greatly, and it is my prayer that He will use this to lead to you the Truth! Remember that you yourself have the ability to seek the Truth. Pray to God that He may show you Himself. This is so very important. Your eternal life is worth FAR more than this temporary, physical life that will one day end.
