The reliability of Christianity’s claims and trust in the Bible is grounded in four key areas of evidence: manuscript consistency, archaeological and historical evidence, fulfilled prophecies, and internal cohesion. Manuscript evidence highlights the unparalleled preservation of biblical texts, with thousands of ancient copies, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, supporting the consistency of modern Bibles. Archaeological discoveries, such as the pool of Bethesda, and historical records, such as those of ancient Jewish and Roman historians, confirm the Bible’s historical accuracy. Somewhere in the order of 2,000 prophecies, including hundreds about Christ Jesus, have been fulfilled with remarkable precision, further supporting the Bible’s divine inspiration. Finally, the internal cohesion of the Bible, despite being written over approximately 1,500 years by some 40 authors, demonstrates its unified and divinely guided message. Together, these pillars offer compelling reasons to trust the Bible as a faithful record of God’s revelation.

And let’s not forget the eyewitness testimony of Jesus’ apostles. They upheld this testimony faithfully, unwavering even in the face of torture and execution.

With regard to evidence of there being a Creator, the evidence is all around us. The invisible attributes of God, namely, His everlasting power and divinity, have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made. We will have no excuse on the day of judgement (refer to Romans 1:18-23). The heavens declare the glory of God. The firmament shows his handiwork. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world (refer to Psalm 19:1-6).
