But you are right, Satan has permeated every aspect of our lives, even attacking the Word of God. God bless what you are doing here Jeff and Cindy.

It's the result of our sin. The authority of Scripture is under attack -- and has been -- ever since Satan caused Adam & Eve to question the accuracy of God's Word. The oldest copies of the most famous Greek poems and essays are from 800 to 1,000 years newer than the original manuscripts. However, no scholar would ever accept an argument that these Greek classics are unfaithful to the original and therefore should be thrown away. In contrast to that, the oldest copies of many Old Testament books are only 200 years newer than the original. And the oldest copies of some New Testament books are dated only 50 to 80 years later than the original autographs. On the basis of that information alone, the Bible should be trusted AT LEAST AS MUCH as Greek literature, which is so revered today. Recent discoveries have validated the historical integrity of the Bible, causing many archaeologists who had a poor regard for the Bible to turn from a bias against it to a scientific respect for it. For example, in Genesis 15:20 a people called the “Hittites” are mentioned. For centuries, people laughed at the Bible for making up a whole group of people. But several decades ago the ruins of a city located in the country of Turkey, north of present-day Israel, was discovered which proved to be the ruins of a main Hittite city. So why is the accuracy of Scripture questioned? I think the "father of lies" is at the root of it all. And that shouldn't surprise us. Jeff Will,

I believe people question the truth about the Bible because we are, by our nature, His enemies. It’s the result of our sin. The authority of Scripture is under attack — and has been — ever since Satan caused Adam & Eve to question the accuracy of God’s Word.

Does anyone ever question for example the history of the Roman Empire? That history was written by man and came down through the ages around the same time the Bible was written by God. If you can believe that the history of the Roman Empire came down through the ages unchanged, then why not the Bible? Why do people question the truth of the Bible?

I call this watered down version the "Inoffensive Gospel", and if you're interested we have a posting devoted to it at http://jeffandcindy.wordpress.com/2008/01/05/the-inoffensive-gospel. Your alternative title of True vs. False Gospel indeed conveys the intended message. Thank you for taking the time to comment. To God Be The Glory! Jeff Phil,

Somehow "Glad Tidings" doesn't seem to be the platform of Karl Marx and Kerry; but Glad Tidings does seem to be the banner of many main-stream churches who would have us sign-up for Their Good News. Maybe the reference could be narrowed to: What is the True Gospel as compared to the False Gospel? Thanks, Phil jeffandcindy,

I read with interest Topic 2

But the Question: What is the true Gospel? seems to remain a question still.

Somehow “Glad Tidings” doesn’t seem to be the platform of Karl Marx and Kerry; but Glad Tidings does seem to be the banner of many main-stream churches who would have us sign-up for Their Good News.

Maybe the reference could be narrowed to:

What is the True Gospel as compared to the False Gospel?

Thanks,
