Is The Bible Reliable? 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Is The Bible Reliable? 2 Peter 1:20-21 20 …knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Is The Bible Reliable? John 16:13 13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come."

Is The Bible Reliable? Ephesians 3:3-4 3 …how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

Is The Bible Reliable? Ephesians 3:5 5 …which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets…

Is The Bible Reliable? John 17:17 17 "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth."

Is The Bible Reliable? 1 Thessalonians 2:13 13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.
