Composée de 66 livres et écrite sur 1 500 ans sur trois continents (Asie, Afrique et Europe) par plus de quarante auteurs, la Bible est unique. Il n'existe aucun autre livre, sacré ou religieux, qui lui ressemble. Et ce n'est pas étonnant. Après tout, c'est la Parole de Dieu.
There are more than 24,600 extant New Testament manuscripts from the first four centuries after Al-Masih. Of Plato’s original manuscripts, there are seven, Herodotus eight, and Homer’s Iliad slightly more with 263 surviving copies. Hence, we have powerful confirming evidence of the integrity of the New Testament text.
The Bible was the first book known to be translated, the first book in the West published on the printing press, and the first book to be so widely distributed in so many languages that it can be read by 95 percent of the earth’s population today.
The Bible also is unique in its content and message, which focuses on God’s redemptive acts in history. That history is intertwined with prophecy, as it foretells the future of God’s plans and His eternal kingdom.
Isa Al-Masih est le centre d'intérêt et le but de toutes les Écritures. Sa venue dans la chair en tant que Messie était un accomplissement des promesses de l'Ancien Testament. Parce qu'Il a vécu, est mort et revit, nous avons non seulement les Écritures confirmées mais, mieux encore, la grande promesse de la vie éternelle dans une toute nouvelle existence.
The Bible is unique among other known religious works because up to 30 percent of its content comprises of prophecies and prophetic literature. The integration of prophecy and its fulfillment in time is central to the biblical worldview, for the God who acts in history also knows the future and has revealed it to His prophets (Amos 3:7). The Bible is not only the living Word, or the historical Word–it is the prophetic Word.
There are at least 65 direct, Messianic predictions in the Old Testament, many more if we add typology, as well (typology is the study of how Old Testament rituals, such as the sacrifices, were mini-prophecies of Isa Al-Masih). These prophecies relate to such specific details as “the sceptre shall not depart from Judah” (Genesis 49:10); that He would be born in Bethlehem in Judah (Micah 5:2); that He would be “despised and rejected of men”; beaten, falsely accused, yet not open His mouth to defend Himself (Isaiah 53:3–7); that His hands and feet would be pierced; and that they would divide His clothes among them (Psalms 22:12–18).
Le fait que ces prophéties de l'Ancien Testament se soient accomplies avec une telle précision dans la vie, la mort et la résurrection de Jésus témoigne de leur inspiration et de leur révélation divine. Cela indique également que Jésus était celui qu'il prétendait être et que d'autres le prétendaient. Jésus a suivi les prophètes d'autrefois en prédisant sa mort et sa résurrection (Luc 9:21, 22 ; Matthieu 17:22, 23), la chute de Jérusalem (Matthieu 24:1, 2), et sa seconde venue (Jean 14:1-3). Ainsi, l'Incarnation, la mort et la Résurrection sont prédites par la Bible, et leur accomplissement assure sa fiabilité.
Why don’t you read the Bible and see for yourself?
