About Me

My photo
I am a born-again Christian, who is Reformed, but also charismatic, spiritually speaking. (I do not speak in tongues, but I believe glossalalia is a bona fide gift not given to all, and not as great as prophecy, for example.) I have several years of college education but only completed a two-year degree. I was raised Lutheran and confirmed, but I didn't "find Christ" until I was in the Army and responded to a Billy Graham crusade in 1973. I was mentored or discipled by the Navigators in the army and upon discharge joined several evangelical, Bible-teaching churches. I was baptized as an infant, but believe in believer baptism, of which I was a partaker after my conversion experience. I believe in the "5 Onlys" of the reformation: sola fide (faith alone); sola Scriptura (Scripture alone); soli Christo (Christ alone), sola gratia (grace alone), and soli Deo gloria (to God alone be the glory). I affirm TULIP as defended in the Reformation.. I affirm most of The Westminster Confession of Faith, especially pertaining to Providence.

What Proof Is There The Bible Isn't Just Another Book? ...


  1. Over 2,000 fulfilled predictive prophecies in great detail, not just a few lucky guesses.
  2. Historical accuracy that is even corroborated by secular sources, even about Jesus—it dehistoricized, it’s totally discredited (and some have tried).
  3. Archaeological digs verifying its references (over 25,0000)—as Jesus said, “The stones cry out….” (cf. Luke 19:40).
  4. It has been the most translated book in history (over 1800 languages) and has had more impact and influence than any other book in history.
  5. It has meaningful miracles that are not just helter-skelter or random; it’s the only holy Scripture that, if you remove the miracles, is meaningless.
  6. It was written by over 40 men over 1500 years and has no contradictions, unexplained.
  7. it is inspiring and changes the lives of those who read it—it claims inspiration of God—it’s the most quoted book in history.
  8. It says, “Thus saith the LORD,” or its equivalent over 3,000 times—it claims to be the Word of God, unlike any other “scripture.”
  9. The Bible can prove itself if one gives it a chance and only reads it.
  10. It has no scientific anomalies but makes many statements ahead of its time that have been proven true—the Bible is the foundation of the philosophy of science saying there are laws of nature (cf. Job 38:33). Soli Deo Gloria!
