Some people never doubt the Bible's veracity. I have. In different stages of my life, I've
questioned it. What brought me back to belief? One convincing proof is the Bible's
internal testimony -- something within the scriptures.
Writers usually promote themselves, sometimes so discreetly others never suspect their duplicity. They slant their writing to argue their own prejudices, to gain financially, or to favor their own groups. Most newspaper editorial pages demonstrate my point. But the Bible favors no economic, social, or ethnic groups. It's a religious document, yet it contains scathing criticism of religious leaders.
God's word patronizes neither kings nor commoners. The Lord held the great lawgiver and leader Moses responsible. He paid a heavy penalty for his failure to glorify the Lord; God didn't permit him to enter the promised land. David wrote exceptionally well, and governed magnificently. Yet David's disobedience cost the unity of his kingdom. Perhaps the Bible's most convincing proof is its testimony about Jesus, God's Son, and the fact that Jesus fulfilled everything written about him.
