The Holy Bible Stands Alone in Regards to Truth About Israel - the Quran Cannot Corroborate What It Does not Believe

This comes as a response to this exchange, and to the perception of earlier exchanges that the Holy Bible is corrupted or forged. Only the Holy Bible, the Hebrew Holy Scriptures tells the truth about Israel and her circumstances now and in the future, and of her LORD Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ.

There seems that when there is no true argument against a principle, that there is the resorting to the tactic of trying to undermine the creditability of the source, in this case the Holy Bible, the Hebrew Holy Scriptures. It is a widespread thing, even where we read that hundreds of New Testaments are burned in Israel for unbelief in the truth contained in those pages, or like the confiscations of Scriptures in places such as Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.

The idea of calling the Holy Bible corrupted or a forgery is not merely an old tale told, but an ancient one. It dates to the garden of Eden, where the Adversary puts the first question of sedition against the Word of Almighty God. This tells us not only the person to whom this is attributed, but of the intent, to destroy the confidence every person should have in the Person of Almighty God and His Anointed One of Israel. One should be very careful in calling Almighty God a liar, or His WORD a forgery.

It is in the New Testament where we read of counterfeit letters being sent by Paul of Tarsis to the foundling churches of the time to deter them in their belief, and that the wisdom of the Holy Spirit should be sought out to test the spirits one might be subjected to in determining the WORD of the truth found in the Holy Bible. To merely use unfounded scholarship (or the lack thereof) on calling the Holy Bible a forgery is to compromise a person's only true chance as an unsaved individual to accept Jesus Christ as his or her Savior, that chance being the freedom of choice.

You might choose to believe in Jesus Christ, to accept Him and His payment for your sin debt in order to obtain eternal life, or in unbelief turn Him away. But do it with a courage of conviction, that you do so because you have faith to do so, or because you do not want to believe. Be careful though, for if you turn away with the idea that somehow it is more convincing to believe a lie about the veracity of the Holy Bible, then you do yourself a disservice, and are cheated in turning away the chance.

For the believer in Jesus Christ in this mortal realm, there is no greater power, no greater influence of Divine love than what one can have in the resource of the Holy Bible, infused with a love of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as He brings the message of salvation home. What the world perceives as a mere compilation of multiple authors encompassing revelations of an Almighty God the world does not know is easily confusing for the unbeliever, but in the power of the Holy Spirit, believers have the verification and validation of the truth contained therein, and of the authenticity of the Savoir, our LORD Jesus Christ and His WORD.

Finally, Israel's destiny rises and falls according to the WORD of the LORD, and no compromise language of mere mortals is going to make any changes on the eternal promises of the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob towards Israel. If this is what one knows, then the truth of the Holy Bible is the only reliable source of true belief by the power of His Holy Spirit.
