Why I Trust the Bible

I cannot count the number of times I have thought of this, let alone, the number of times I have contemplated the writing of this introduction for this project. I am no one special and absolutely no one of any great stature of any sort. I am just a guy! We are told to, Never judge a book by it's cover! This is a very good suggestion in life and is also a great message espoused by Dhar Mann. We should all take that to heart. However, the ideology is taken way out of context that we are never to judge, but the proper context is that we are to judge rightly and without bias, our judgment must be based upon a moral absolute (i.e., God's righteousness.) The blatant fact of the matter is this, God can use each and every one of us where we are and He will both enable and empower us to do all of His will. After all, God continued to use King David, Moses, Jonah, Adam, Abraham, Isaac, among a great many other sinners to accomplish His will. We each have varying degrees of belief and a variety of differing faith. However, those of us who claim Christ as their Lord and Savior have an obligation, if not a mandate, to share the gospel message and our faith, our belief, and to give an answer for the hope that is in us all. Each and every one of us is called to a purpose. Sadly, many of us never seek out that God given purpose of ours, let alone fulfill our Godly purpose in life and never realize our purpose. We are all set on a journey from birth to death. We must learn a great deal between our birth and our death along with figuring out what our exact purpose is and many of us must fight against the grain of family, friends, peers, and job just to do what we know to be the right thing. God knows the decisions we will make and will place people along our path giving each of us every possible chance and opportunity to change the path we are on and exchange it for a righteous path. (Just consider Jonah, among other prophets!) Which is a partial purpose of this volume to share the information from the position of an apologist; thereby, understanding why we believe what we believe. Well, at least why I believe what I believe and espouse.
