Of the Divine character of the Bible, I think, no man who deals honestly with his own mind and heart can entertain a reasonable doubt. For myself, I must say, that having for many years made the evidences of Christianity the subject of close study, the results has been a firm and increasing conviction of the authenticity and plenory inspiration of the Bible. It is indeed the Word of God. – Simon Greenleaf (1783-1853), A Treatice on the Law of Evidence, Founder of Harvard’s Law School
If we compare the recent state of the New Testament text with that of any other ancient writing, we must…declare it to be marvelously correct. Such has been the case with which the New Testament has been copied – a care which has doubtless grown out of true reverence for its holy words – such as been the providence of God in preserving for His Church in each and every age a competently exact text of the Scriptures, that not only is the New Testament unrivaled among ancient writings in the purities of its text as actually transmitted and kept in use, but also in the abundance of testimony which has come down to us for castigating its comparatively infrequent blemishes. – Benjamin Warfield (1851-1921), Princeton Theological Seminary
The Isaiah copies of the Dead Sea Scrolls proved to be word for word identical with our standard Hebrew Bible in more than 95% of the text. The 5% of variations consisted chiefly of obvious slips of the pen and variations in spelling. – Gleason Archer (1916-2004), Bible Scholar
It is a matter of wonder that through something like a
thousand years the text underwent so little alteration. – Millar Burrows
(1898-1980), Yale Divinity School, The
Dead Sea Scrolls of St. Mark’s Monastery
The impact of this discovery (of the Dead Sea Scrolls) is in
the exactness of the Isaiah scroll (125 BC) with the Massoretic text of Isaiah
(916 AD) 1,000 years later. This demonstrates the unusual accuracy of the
copyists of the Scripture over a 1,000 year period. – Josh and Sean McDowell, The Evidence Deserves a Verdict (2017)
Of the 166 words in Isaiah 53, there are only 17 letters in
question. Ten of these are simply a matter of spelling, which does not affect
the sense. Four more letters are minor stylistic changes, such as,
conjunctions. The remaining 3 letters compose the word “light,” which is added
in verse 11, and does not affect the meaning greatly. Futhermore, the word is
supported by the Septuagint Isaiah. Thus, in one chapter of 166 words, there is
only one word (of three letters) in question after 1,000 years of transcription
and this word does not significantly change the meaning of the passage. – Josh McDowell,
The
Evidence Deserves a Verdict (2017)
It cannot be too strongly asserted that in substance the text of the Bible is certain. Especially is this the case with the New Testament. The number of the manuscripts of the New Testament, of the early translations from it, and of quotations from it in the oldest writers of the Church, is so large that it is practically certain that the true reading of every doubtful passage is preserved in some one or other of these ancient authorities. This can be said of no other ancient book in the world. Scholars are satisfied that they possess substantially the true text of the principal Greek and Roman writers whose works have come down to us of Sophocles, of Thyaydides, of Cicero, of Virgil; yet our knowledge of their writings depend on a mere handful of manuscripts, whereas the manuscripts of the New Testament are counted by hundred, and even thousands. – Sir Frederick Kenyon (1863-1952), Director of the British Museum from 1917-1921 and member of British Parliment from 1918-1952
It is reassuring at the end to find that the general result of all these discoveries (of ancient manuscripts) and all this study is to strengthen the proof of the authenticity of the Scriptures, and our conviction that we have in our hands, in substantial integrety, the veritable Word of God. – Sir Ferderick Kenyon, The Story of the Bible
More and more the older view that the Biblical data were
suspect and even likely to befalse, unless corroberated by extra-Biblical
facts, is giving way to one which holds that, by and large, the Biblical
accounts are more likely to be true than false. – H.M. Orlinsky (1908-1992)
editor-in-chief- of the New Jewish Publication Society, Ancient Israel (1954)
After more than two centuries of facing the heaviest
scientific guns that could be brought to bear, the Bible has survived, and is
perhaps the better for the seige. Even on the critics’ own terms, historical
fact, the Scriptures seem more acceptable now than they did when the
rationalists began the attack. – Time
Magazine: How True is the Bible? (December
30, 1974)
It is the only volume ever produced by man, or a group of men, in which is to be found a large body of prophecies relating to individual nations, to Israel, to all the peoples of the earth, to certain cities, and to the coming of One who was to be the Messiah. The ancient world had many different devices for determining the future, known as divination, but not in the entire gamut of Greek and Latin literature, even though they use words prophet and prophecy, can we find any real specific prophecy of great historic event to come in the distant future, nor any prophecies of a Savior to arise in the human race. – Wilbur M. Smith (1894-1976), Theologian
As a literary historian, I am perfectly convinced that
whatever else the Gospels are they are not legends. I have read a great deal of
legends and I am quite clear that they (the Gospels) are not the same sort of
thing. – C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), What Are
We to Make of Jesus?
If someone tells me that something in the Gospels is legend or romance, I want to know how many legends and romances he has read, how well his palate is trained in detecting them by the flavour…Turn to (the Gospel of) John. Read the dialogues: that with the Samaritan woman at the well, or that which follows the healing of the man born blind. Look at the pictures: Jesus, if I may use the word, doodling with his finger in the dust…I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life. I know what they are like. I know that not one of them is like this. – C.S. Lewis, Westcott House (1959)
I was now too experienced in literary criticism to regard
the Gospels as myths. They had not the mythical taste…If ever a myth had become
fact, had been incarnated, it would be just like this. And nothing else in all
literature was just like this. Myths were like it in one way. Histories were
like it in another. But nothing was simply like it. And no person was like the
Person it depicted; as real, as recognisable through all the depths of time, as
Plato’s Socrates or Boswell’s Johnson…yet also numinous, lit by a fire from
beyond the world, a god. But if a god - we are no longer polytheists - then not
a god, but God. – C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy (1955)
It is evidence of his importance, if the effect that he has had upon history and presumably, of the baffling mystery of his being, that no other life ever lived on this planet has evoked so huge a volume of lieterature among so many peoples and languages, and that, far from ebbing, the flood continues to mount. – Kenneth Scott Latourette (1884-1968), Yale Historian
This Jesus of Narazeth, without money and arms, conquered
more millions than Alexander, Ceasar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science
and learning. He shed more light on things human and divine than all
philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of schools. He spoke
such words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects
which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, He
set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations,
discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise than the whole
army of great men of ancient and modern times. – Philip Schaff (1819-1893), The Person of Christ
The New Testament is the very best book that ever was or ever will be known in the world, because it teaches you the best lessons by which any human creature, who tries to be truthful and faithful to duty, can possibly be guided. – Charles Dickens (1812-1870), British Novelist
In regards to this great book (the Bible), I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Saviour gave the world was communicated through this book. But for it, we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here, and hereafter, are found portrayed within it. – Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), 16th President USA
The Bible, and it alone, with nothing added to it nor taken away from it by men, is the sole and sufficient guide for each individual, at all times and in all circumstances. – Michael Faraday (1791-1867), British Scientist
Within this awful volume lies the mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race, to whom their God has given grace, to read, to fear, to hope, to pray, to lift the latch, to force the way. But better had they ne’er been born, who read to doubt or read to scorn. - Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), Scottish historical novelist, poet, playwright, and historian.
The Christian can take the whole Bible in his hands and say without fear or hesitation that he holds in it the true Word of God, handed down without essential loss from generation to generation, throughout the centuries. – Sir Frederick Kenyon
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. - Psalm 12:6-7 KJV
Heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. – Jesus Christ, as quoted in Matthew 24:35
A federal court has blocked a harmful Biden administration policy that would force Christian doctors and hospitals to kill babies in abortions.
In June 2020, President Donald Trump issued a pro-life rule to protect pro-life Americans and help save babies from abortion. His administration implemented a rule to block the effects of a dangerous Obamacare provision that could be used to compel doctors to participate in abortions.
In May, Joe Biden reversed it.
But late Monday, a federal court in Texas just blocked the policy, which would also force religious doctors and hospitals to perform gender transition procedures on their patients—including children. The Biden administration will have 60 days to decide whether to appeal the court’s ruling.
The case of Franciscan Alliance v. Becerra was brought by a religious hospital, an association of over 20,000 healthcare professionals, and nine states, and it is now the second court ruling blocking the Biden administration from enforcing the policy.
“Today’s ruling is a victory for compassion, conscience, and common sense,” said Luke Goodrich, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. “No doctor should be forced to perform controversial, medically unsupported procedures that are contrary to their conscience and could be deeply harmful to their patients.”
“These religious doctors and hospitals provide top-notch medical care to all patients for everything from cancer to the common cold,” said Goodrich. “Everyone benefits when doctors are able to follow their professional medical judgment and their Hippocratic Oath to ‘Do No Harm.’”
During the Trump administration, the Department of Health and Human Services finalized a rule that revises 2016 provisions of the Obamacare section 1557 rule that had redefined discrimination “on the basis of sex” to include “pregnancy termination.” The new rule protected doctors, nurses and medical professionals from being compelled to assist abortions.
Biden’s decision overturned the Trump rule, which had defined “sex” as gender assigned at birth and clarified that sex discrimination does not include abortion when it comes to health care and coverage.
“HHS respects the dignity of every human being, and as we have shown in our response to the pandemic, we vigorously protect and enforce the civil rights of all to the fullest extent permitted by our laws as passed by Congress,” Roger Severino, former director of OCR, said in June 2020 when the pro-life Trump rule was initially put in place. “We are unwavering in our commitment to enforcing civil rights in healthcare.”

The Biden administration’s new interpretation, if court allow it to be implemented, would guide OCR in conducting investigations and processing complaints, an HHS press release said, but will not “itself determine the outcome in any particular case or set of facts.”
Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine also said in a statement that HHS seeks to “enhance the health and well-being of all Americans.”
Before the November presidential election, Biden indicated he would eliminate conscience protections for pro-life health care providers, forcing them to adhere to pro-abortion ideology even if it conflicts with their medical judgment.
Terry Schilling, executive director of American Principles Project, told LifeNews.com that this is a radical pro-abortion agenda out of step with most Americans.
After Trump adopted the rule, a leading pro-life group praised him.
“President Trump is the most pro-life president our nation has ever seen, and today he delivered another important victory for conscience in America. Abortion is not health care and should never be mandated by the government,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.
She told LifeNews.com: “The Obama/Biden administration sought to expand abortion at every turn, even trying to reinterpret federal law to define abortion as a civil right. Since serving in the Obama administration, Joe Biden’s views on abortion have become even more extreme, as he now supports forcing taxpayers to pay for abortion on demand – even brutal late-term abortions. We thank President Trump and Secretary Azar for standing firmly on the side of the majority of Americans who reject taxpayer funding of abortion, and for the action taken today to roll back the Obama/Biden-era assault on conscience.
Mary Beth Waddell, who serves as the Senior Legislative Assistant for Family Research Council, told LifeNews.com that the Trump rule protects doctors, nurses and medical professionals from being compelled to assist abortions.
Waddell said that, “Under the old Obama rule, medical professionals could have been forced to facilitate … abortions — even if they believed this was a violation of their conscience or believed it harmful to the patient.”
The Heritage Foundation’s senior research fellow Ryan T. Anderson, who submitted comments on the Trump rule and wrote on the Obama-era HHS and HUD regulations, had the following response after Trump adopted it:
“Truth matters and words have meaning. The Trump administration is right to formally rescind Obamacare regulations that radically altered the meaning of ‘sex’ to mean things it doesn’t. Today’s action follows the precedent of a federal court issuing a 50-state preliminary injunction that blocked these unlawful regulations from ever taking effect.”
“When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, it prohibited discrimination on the basis of ‘sex.’ Several years later, the Obama administration redefined ‘sex’ to mean … termination of pregnancy. In addition to being an unlawful abuse of agency power, these rules would have caused serious harm.”
“They would have required doctors, hospitals, and health care organizations to act in ways contrary to their best medical judgments, their consciences, and the physical realities of their patients, or face steep fines and become easy targets for unreasonable and costly lawsuits.”
He concluded that federal law should not “force anyone to violate their prolife conscience or the privacy and safety of others in the name of political correctness.”

Quando falamos de futuro estamos a falar de um perÃodo de tempo desconhecido e incerto. Podemos fazer suposições, mas a verdade é que ninguém sabe o que realmente acontecerá. Contudo para Deus o tempo é como se não existisse. Para Ele é tudo um eterno agora e sabe com todo o luxo de detalhes o que acontecerá naquilo que para nós ainda é o futuro. “Digo-te, Pedro, que não cantará hoje o galo antes que três vezes negues que me conheces.” (Luc.22:34) Se Jesus não tivesse dito isto provavelmente ninguém teria reparado que havia por ali um galo onde Pedro estava a aquecer-se ao lado de uma fogueira naquela noite. E esse galo realmente cantou logo depois do triste episódio de Pedro. Para Deus as coisas pequenas também são importantes e nada escapa ao seu conhecimento.
De que é que nós temos medo? O que é que nos dá medo? É não sabermos o que irá acontecer. O medo está sempre ligado ao desconhecido. Por exemplo: Vamos dento de um carro que está a ser conduzido a muita velocidade. Não é propriamente a velocidade do carro que nos assusta, mas sim o facto de não sabermos se vamos ter um acidente. Se soubéssemos que não irÃamos sofrer um acidente, não terÃamos medo. DesfrutarÃamos da viagem e da adrenalina. Outro exemplo é quando estamos sozinhos numa noite muito escura e não sabemos se vamos ser assaltados por algum ladrão. Então qualquer ruÃdo é suspeito e faz-nos estremecer. Mas se soubéssemos que amanheceria sem qualquer incidente, dormirÃamos descansados.
Pelos sinais que vemos à nossa volta sabemos que nos aproximamos rapidamente dos importantes acontecimentos do fim desta era. Mais de metade das muitas profecias da BÃblia são justamente sobre estes últimos dias e têm como único propósito o de nos informar para:
Tanto umas como outras são importantes e complectam-se. Nenhuma está a mais nem a menos.
As do primeiro grupo que se encontram dispersas um pouco por toda a BÃblia, precisam de ser alinhadas e unidas tal como fazemos quando montamos um puzzle. Na verdade cada peça do puzzle parece ser uma imagem disforme e sem sentido. Mas quando se unem umas à s outras vai-se formando uma imagem clara e de uma beleza que nos surpreende. Estas profecias são completas e suficientes para entendermos perfeitamente o quadro que Deus nos quer ensinar.
As do segundo grupo, apesar de estarem agora envoltas num mistério, servem para nos encorajar e fortalecer a nossa fé. Porque quando se cumprirem vamos identifica-las e então perceberemos o que Deus nos estava a mostrar. Viajar pelo tempo do fim é como viajar por uma estrada pela primeira vez. E se estudarmos bem o mapa vamos saber identificar os locais mais importantes quando passarmos por lá.
O regresso à Terra de Jesus Cristo na sua forma fÃsica tem sido a esperança de todos os verdadeiros cristãos desde o momento que Ele ascendeu ao céu. É o marco que colocará o fim da era do homem e a sua liberdade de governar o mundo como bem entende e libertará para sempre os filhos de Deus que têm sido humilhados, ridicularizados e oprimidos. Será um dia de glória e libertação para uns e o princÃpio de um terrÃvel pesadelo para outros. Nesse dia o mundo estará bem dividido entre as “ovelhas e as cabras”, o “trigo e o joio” e é justamente para se chegar a essa divisão tão bem definida que irá acabar com os actuais milhões de cristãos “mornos”, que é necessário que antes venha o Anticristo.
Ninguém, de maneira alguma, vos engane, porque não será assim (Jesus não vem) sem que antes venha a apostasia e se manifeste o homem do pecado, o filho da perdição, o qual se opõe e se levanta contra tudo o que se chama Deus ou se adora. (2Tes.2:3,4)
Saber identificar esse homem e até que ponto deveremos obedecer-lhe é o que Deus tanto se esforçou ao nos dar as profecias e que eu aqui pretendo explicar ao longo das publicações deste blog. O ponto-chave que confirmará quem está do lado de Deus e quem não, é uma marca no nosso corpo que o Anticristo obrigará todos a receber. Quem receber essa marca terá a sua vida facilitada e uma boa estabilidade económica. Quem se recusar a receber será perseguido, tratado como terrorista e terá que fugir pela sua vida. Mas esses dias estão contados e terminarão exactamente com o regresso de Jesus Cristo que será numa enorme manifestação de luz, sons e glória, visÃvel por toda a criatura em todo o planeta. Então os que se recusaram a receber a marca serão retirados deste mundo através de um arrebatamento. Os outros permanecerão aqui e sofrerão uma série de castigos até serem banidos.
