Personally, I have struggled with the question of the Bible’s authenticity. But then came a time when I felt my questions were answered, so I decided to throw myself into the hands of God and simply to believe wholeheartedly that everything in the Bible is truly written as God’s Word. Let me explore this question logically. Here are my arguments for the Bible’s authenticity:

1. If there is a god who individually created humankind, is it not then also reasonable then to believe that the same god wants to have a relationship with his created beings in one way or another? Logically, I cannot fathom a god who creates us and then takes off without trace.
2. Then, if this god wants to communicate with his creation, is it not also logical to trust that he would place this communication in a written form so his creation could have a record and read it?
3. What can be more logical then that he will protect his message to his creation from destruction and changes? 
4. Isn't it equally logical that you and I should take time to research, read, and study this written-down message so we can understand the plan and purpose this god has for our lives?

But the issue is: Can this evidence be backed up? Is there any objective and impartial model to find out whether the Bible is God’s Word? Here is what I usually use when deciding what is true from that which is false: If you believe in something, I normally research the pros and the cons, and then decide to trust in the most believable. My reasoning above shows that I have followed that process in this situation and come to the conclusion that there are more reasons for trusting the Bible as God’s Word than for not believing it. Because I come from a very secular society, I am not content with trusting anything on a “my-mother-believed-and-that-is-enough-for-me” form of traditional blind faith. That is not a healthy way to choose right from wrong.
