Can I have your Autograph? ~ by ReverendRV * February 11
2nd Peter 1:20-21 KJV; Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
One of an Atheist’s biggest objections is that Christianity doesn’t have the Original writings of the Holy men who were moved by God back in the Old time. These are called the original ‘Autographs’; they have faded away over time, turning to dust. What Christianity does have are multiple copies of the originals. You object, “Yes, but those copies have SO many errors! How can we know what the Holy men really said?” ~ My daughter and I have a game where I tell her “I Love you more” and she always says “No”. If I wrote her a one page letter with ‘I Love you more’ in it; and hand copied it Ten times, errors could’ve been made. If the original was lost but only one copy changed the ‘I’ to ‘You’, a different copy changed ‘Love’ to ‘hate’, and another copy only changed the word ‘you’ to ‘me’, and the last copy changed the word ‘more’ to ‘less’; can we be sure we have the Original, based on the Six correct copies of ‘I Love you more’? ~ Textual Criticism says yes. Using this method, we are certain we have the Original Bible…
Because of other reasons which would take up too much space on a one page Gospel Tract, we’re sure the Bible is the Word of God. Therefore we’re certain we know what God wants from us. ~ Have you ever told a Lie? What do you call people that Lie? Your Version of your Self is a mistranslation; you’re a Liar. Have you ever stolen anything? Don’t try and evade, it just popped into your head; God can read you like a book and find all your errors. What do you call people that Steal? Correcting your Auto Biography means it now says you’re a Lying Thief; right? Have you ever had a different god other than the God of the Bible? If you never dreamed that God would critically judge the Text of your Life with his original Autograph, then you have had another god; one that suits yourself. ~ These were four of the Ten Commandments, if God judged you by his standard, would you be innocent or guilty? Would you go to Heaven or to Hell? Does this bother you?? If it does, know that there is a way of escape to safety…
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting Life! God came from Heaven to become the man Jesus Christ for the purpose of living a Holy, Sinless life. Jesus gained a good record of keeping the Ten Commandments and this was his Righteousness; but God made him who knew no Sin to be sin on our behalf, so we would become the Righteousness of God in Him. He shed his blood, died on the Cross, was buried but arose from the dead on the third day. We’re Saved by the Grace of God through Faith in the Resurrected Savior Jesus Christ, not thru Meritorious Works lest we should boast. Repent of your Sins, Confess Jesus Christ as Lord and join a Biblical Church. ~ Ask the Holy men of Old if you can have their Autographs and you’ll have them…
John 3:15 KJV; That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
