Question
Happy new year! I saw a website run by a person who does not believe that the bible is the word of God; he posted verses there that seem to be in conflict with each other. One of it are the verses that points to the age of King Josiah - the other one has his age 8 yrs old; the other verse has about 18 yrs of age. Please help me clear the matter at hand. Aside form that, there are a lot of seemingly conflicting verses placed in his website, if you know some of them, please explain it to me. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely Yours,

Hi Amram,
   Sadly there are always those who criticize the Bible and refuse to believe it.   Most times they even reject the overwhelming evidences that authenicate the Bible historically, culturally, and scientifically.    I suppose the reason is that if they admit the Bible is the very Word of God, they will have to accept what the Bible says...which is that man is a sinner bound for separation from God in hell.    Morever, they will have to accept that their sin is wrong....   Jesus said in John 3:19-21  "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

    I have an article on my web site at http://bible-truth.org/Howwegot.htm   title How we got the Bible.  The whole article deals with attacks on the Bible...and the last portion of the article deals with evidences that the Bible is really God's word.

     If you read the article and still have questions please write and I will tray to answer further.

     God bless you as you try to win the lost to Christ!
