19. Questions: How Do I Know I Can Trust the Bible?

On our episode 17, we talked about how the Bible is historically accurate and how it is scientifically accurate. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend it! It answers so many questions that the world is trying to throw at us today.

In Episode 18 ,we are going to talk about the prophesies that are in the Bible. A prophesy is basically a prediction of the future that is claimed to be divinely inspired.

Did you know that there are close to 2,000 prophesies in the Bible? See, the thing about prophesies is this…if you’re going to write it down in a book, you better make sure it’s a true prophesy, because if not, that book would be considered false and no one would trust anything in it. With the Bible having close to 2,000 prophesies, with just even one of those prophesies not coming to pass, it would lose its entire integrity.

And the thing about the prophesies in the Bible is that these aren’t prophesies that were going to happen right away, but they were prophesied some thousands of years before they took place.

Did you know that there are over 300 prophesies about Jesus alone that span over 1,100 years. The last one that was prophesied about him was 400 years before Jesus was born.

Peter Stoner was a probability expert who decided to take just 8 of the prophesies found in the Bible about Jesus and calculated what the percentage would be if even just 8 of those prophesies were true. Here's what he found:

8 Prophesies Peter Stoner Looked At and Their Probabilities:

1. 1. Jesus would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) Probability of that happening: 7,150 in 2,000,000,000 chance
2. 2. There would be a messenger that would prepare the way for Jesus (Malachi 3:1) Probability: 1 in 1,000 chance
3. Jesus would enter Jerusalem as a king riding a donkey (Zechariah 9:9) Probability: 1 in 100 chance
4. Jesus would be betrayed by a friend and suffer wounds in His hands (Zechariah 13:6) Probability: 1 in 1,000 chance
5. Jesus would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. (Zechariah 11:12-13) Probability: 1 in 1,000 chance
