3 1. Direct Claims of the Bible It is the Word of God In the Old Testament (OT) And God said Thus says the Lord The word of the Lord In the New Testament (NT) By a word from the Lord I received from the Lord NT refers to what God said in the OT as the Scriptures said 2 Pet. 1:21 Gen. 1:3 Mal. 4:3 1 Th. 4:15 1 Cor. 11:23 Mark 7:13f Luke 5:1 2 Tim. 3:16,17 Ps. 12:6 Ps. 119:140 Prov. 30:5 John Dr. Heinz Lycklama 3

Perfect Unity of the Bible 66 books written over 1500 years 40 different authors 3 different languages Diverse literary genre Written on 3 continents 13 different countries Heb. 1:1-2 Bible speaks with 1 voice on all matters that it addresses, never contradicts itself One unified story in midst of Dr. Heinz Lycklama 4
5 3. Reliable Transmission of the Bible Reliability depends on: Number of copies of text Time gap, original to copy Dead Sea scrolls found 1947 Earlier (by 1000 yrs) copies of OT books Dated to BC Earliest NT manuscript Fragment of John s gospel Dated to 125 AD Referenced by church fathers 99.99% of originals Dr. Heinz Lycklama 5
6 Where Is The Dead Dr. Heinz Lycklama 6
7 Bibliographical Evidence Two important questions: How many manuscript copies do we have? How close are the copies to the original? The New Testament (NT): Over 5600 Greek manuscripts extant Over 10,000 manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate Over 9200 other Dr. Heinz Lycklama 7

9 4. Affirmation of Canon of the Bible OT canonized in 300 BC 39 books in 3 divisions Septuagint in BC NT canonized in 375 AD Used by early church fathers Same 27 books as today Books recognized as canon Hebrew Apocrypha not accepted Not quoted by Jesus or NT writers Heb. 6:18 Matt. 5:17-18 Luke 24:44 Matt. 23:35 Deut. 4:2 Prov. 30:6 Rev. 22:18-19 Not quoted as Scripture by Dr. Heinz Lycklama 9

Dr. Heinz Lycklama 10
11 6.

15 9. Lord s Testimony to the Bible Quotes OT books Claims inerrancy and inspiration of Scripture Affirms the OT record: Literal Adam and Eve Noah & The Flood Sodom & Gomorrah Jonah & the great fish Fulfills OT prophecy Affirms all 39 books of OT Matt. 4:4 Deut. 8:3 Matt. 5:18 Luke 16:17 John 17:17 Matt. 12:40 John 10:35 Luke 18:31 Matt. 26:24 Luke 11:51 John Dr. Heinz Lycklama 15
16 10. Indestructibility of the Bible Satan attacked God s Word King Jehoiakim burned it Satan distorted Scripture Diocletian burned it Voltaire predicted its demise God s Word still stands: First printed in 1456 AD translations 200M+ copies printed per year No other book compares!

18 12. Supernatural Power of the Bible This book saves, sanctifies, prunes, convicts, comforts, guides This book is a mirror: No other book can tell me who I am, how to live It speaks to me The Word of God transforms It contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, One God, one mediator This is NOT just another book! Ps. 19:7-8 John 14:6 1 Th. Dr. Heinz Lycklama 18
