Why is the bible up to date?

Answer 1

Oh no, it is not outdated at all, since it talks of the prophecy of prophets which are still to be fulfilled.

Also an answer: Science really has not disproved that authenticity of The Bible. It's actually impossible for scientist to do so. There are many theories, but no proof against the Bible. When it touches on scientific matters, it is accurate. It reflects an accuracy far ahead of its time. For example, in chapters 13 and 14 of the book of Leviticus, detailed laws on hygiene and quarantine were given to the Israelites, long before people knew anything about germs and contagion. At a time when there were wrong ideas about the shape of the earth, the Bible referred to it as a circle or sphere (Isaiah 40:22) The Bible accurately said the earth is suspended upon nothing (Job 26:7) The Bible is also historically accurate and reliable. Its accounts are specific. Because the Bible is inspired of God, it is beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight. (2 Timothy 3:16) Consider Jesus speech called the Sermon on the Mount, recorded in Matthew chapters 5-7. In this masterpiece of teaching, Jesus spoke on a number of topics, including the way to find true happiness, how to settle disputes, how to pray and how to have the proper view of material things. Some Bible principles deal with family life, work habits and relationships with others. Jesus words are just as powerful and practical today as they were when he spoke them.

Answer 2

Some say it is; that the laws only apply to people thousands of years ago.

Some say that there is still much wisdom to be gained from studying the Bible.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

Answer 3

The Bible is an old book, but not as old as God Himself. This is why it has been translated into many new versions in different languages. Those who study the Bible eventually become so familiar with it that they can get nothing more from it. This is when the value of new translations is helpful. All of a sudden, the Scriptures come alive again, allowing God to speak to us in new ways. The question is not whether the Bible is out of touch with society today, but rather how out of touch is society today with God?

Answer 4

Science has now shown that neither of the creation stories in Genesis (1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-2:20) correctly explains the origins of the world. It has also been shown that Noah's Flood never really happened as described in the Bible. So, from this evidence, the Bible is indeed out of date.

Archaeologists agree that the events of the Exodus never really occurred. They know that the Hebrew people only settled occupied the Palestinian hinterland around 1250 BCE or even later, and that there never was a glorious United Monarchy under Kings David and Solomon. Archaeologists have redated events at first thought to have occurred at a time consistent with a United Monarchy to much later, during the reign of King Ahab of Israel. The historical narratives in the Bible are now out of date.

Answer 5

Not necessarily but many of the interpretations of his teachings seem out of date!

Answer 6

Because God who wrote it is eternal, (Deuteronomy 33.27)

Answer 7

The Bible is an old book, but it is forever true and valuable. Actually it is society that is out of touch with the real and true meaning of life.
