Studying Your Bible

For centuries, skeptics and atheists have attacked the Bible, claiming it was nothing more than a collection of man’s overactive imagination. “Where did Cain get his wife?” became the question that was supposed to discredit the Bible, silence its defenders, and place it on the shelf with fairy tales and other works of fiction.

Mark Twain once said, “Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they don’t understand, but for me, I have always noticed that the passages that bother me are the ones I do understand.”

People do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself, but because it contradicts them. What the Bible has to say to us can be very disturbing.
