SOME SAY NO!
One doctor compared using the Bible for guidance to using a textbook from the 1920's for teaching a chemistry class. A skeptic old defunct computer to guide you in using a new up-to-date computer. In other words, some see the bible as hopelessly outdated.
Why would anyone use such ancient guide in today's modern, high-tech world? After all, countless websites and blogs send out a steady flow of the latest advice and guidance. TV pundits and talk shows feature a stream of knowledgeable psychologists, lifestyle gurus, and authors. And bookstores publish a flood of self-help books, fueling a multibillion-dollar industry.
With all that up-to-the-minute information available, why turn to the Bible - a book that was completed almost 2,000 years ago? Would not skeptics be right in saying that using such an ancient book or computer manual? Actually, the analogy is flawed. Science and technology change rapidly, but has human nature changed? People still want to find meaning in life as well as to have a reasonable measure of happiness and security, good family relations, and rewarding friendships.
As old as it is, the Bible addresses those needs and more. It also claims to be inspired by our Creator. It offers to guide us in every aspect of life and to equip us for any challenge that matters. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) What is more, it claims to convey counsel that is timeless - advice that never becomes obsolete! The Bible itself says: "The word of God is alive." - Hebrews 4:12
Can the Bible's claims really be true?
Is it out-of-date, or is it really the most relevant and practical of book -- in effect, a living book?
