This is a question that has been asked for hundreds of years. Is the Bible made up to fool people into believing in God? Is the Bible written to control peoples natural self expression? Is the Bible the tool of enslavement? In a court of law it is essential that the accused be allowed to speak in order to establish the grounds on which the case is being brought, that way it can be discovered whether or not what is being said makes sense, even whether it is true or false! In II Timothy 3:16 the Bible says about itself: "Every Scripture is God inspired and is profitable for instruction, for correction and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, and for training in right living in conformity to God's will purpose and action"
Now this is a tall order to for any witness to make especially if it cannot be backed up! Now, it has been documented there are two ways of looking at it, it is either true or it is false. The Bible states that it is from God, and that it has a right to set principles which are to be followed.
Although the term "the Bible says" does not appear in the news paper every time someone is murdered, raped, mugged, defrauded of their money, there is little doubt that people feel that something ill has gone on. Someone has crossed the line! Who put the line there in the first place? Western society has been founded on Biblical Ethics (Big word- moral values). The values are so deeply etched in our society we rely on them to keep us safe as a society and deliver justice. Words flow out of people’s mouths that come from the Bible without them even knowing it. Imagine you hit your finger with a hammer. What do you say apart from !!!!&&*****. "Oh Jesus Christ" "Crikey/Christ", "Gosh/God" "Oh my giddy aunt/substitute for oh may God" The Bible has influenced us more that we think "For peace sake". So it is evident that a scripture from the Bible has set principles for life that we all depend on. So is it from God?
