V6-9 – A man came, one sent from God, and his name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. Starting in verse 6, we see the first mention of John the Baptist. Verse 7 says he came to testify about Jesus. We…

V3 – “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.” Continuing on this biblical commentary, I wrote yesterday about John equating Jesus as God.

While the other reasons that we’ll go through are convincing concerning why the Bible is divine and therefore should be believed, I personally think that what most persuades me towards Christianity (in a rational sense) is the Bible’s unique message. I believe that because of its uniqueness, the Bible has divine origins.There are several ways…
