God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Time lost can never be retrieved. Time cannot be hoarded, only spent well.
Oswald Sanders

Inclusivism is the view that people actually appropriate God’s gift of salvation only on the basis of Jesus Christ’s atoning work, but that the sinner need not explicitly believe the gospel in order to actually receive this salvation. Inclusivism teaches that Christianity is the only true religion (including the belief that Christ is the only Savior of men), but that this salvation could be made available through means other than explicit faith in Christ. The inclusivist believes that adherents of other religions and even atheists can be saved by responding to God’s revelation in creation or through the elements of truth contained within their non-Christian religion.

What hard evidence says about What hard evidence says about: ‘The Authenticity of the Bible’

    Old Testament:

    • Oldest Hebrew Manuscript dated approx 900 AD
    • Time gap is about 1300 years
    • Reliability about same as other writings of antiquity until discovery of Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947
    • Old Testament manuscripts found with the Dead Sea Scrolls dated before time of Christ (125 BC)
    • Time gap decreases to less than 300 years
    • Dead Sea Scrolls contained over 40,000 inscribed fragments from which over 500 books were reconstructed – some of which were extrabiblical
    • Example: Isaiah – a complete text was found dating 125 BC, 1000 years older than any known text at that time.
    • Example: Isaiah 53 – only difference, other than font variations, was the inclusion of three letters comprising the word ‘light’ in verse 11, which created no change in meaning of verse.
    • Conclusion: In over 1000 years, only 1 minor word deletion occurred out of a possible 166 words – a true testament to the accuracy of the copyists and the provision of God throughout the centuries!
