Reading the Bible, Part 2
Posted by Matt Postiff August 30, 2013 on Matt Postiff's Blog under Bible TextsÂ
The second reason you should read the Bible is because it explains many things in the world that others have no good explanation for. It gives an explanation of:
1. How we got here. The Bible tells us how God created the world and all life forms, including humans.
2. A world-wide catastrophic flood. This explains major climate changes that occurred thousands of years ago; the disappearance of dinosaurs; the geographical and topographical features of our world; and the layers of rock and fossils around the world.
3. The origin of all the languages at the tower of Babel. The sudden appearance of many languages defies any other explanation.
These first three you can find in Genesis chapters 1 through 11.
4. Why people die.
5. Why we are here on earth and what is going to happen to us.
These two items (#4 and #5) are found in various places in the Bible. Ask me if you want to find out more.
