In defense of the Bible

Liberals love to talk about all the words that Shakespeare invented. They love to use words based in mythology. But bring up the influence of the Bible and they’ll start hissing like a viper. Everything they claim to be is nothing but a bad imitation of Christianity.

Their delusions have no basis in reality. The Bible has had a greater impact than Shakespeare or Mythology ever could. Not to mention the fact that Shakespeare’s work, with an estimated 1,350 Biblical references, is proof of this.

As for mythology, the Bible tells a story unlike anything ever told, most of all by myth, which is accurately a synonym for “lie.”

The Bible is the most influential book ever written.

From the works of Michelangelo to the films of Quentin Tarantino, the Bible is foundational. One of the most powerful scenes in pulp fiction is when Samuel L. Jackson’s character quotes Ezekiel 25:17.

Reports about the spread of atheism often imply the death of religion, like it’s a victory. But really, what they mean is that they hate Christianity. What they’re doing isn’t religious, it’s POLITICAL.

In reality, it could never lead to a post-religion world, because politics is a child to religion, so the collapse of religion would lead to annihilation.

This is not an exaggeration. Society itself is founded on religion. So while atheism may occasionally APPEAR to be on the rise, there’s no such thing as an atheistic society.

Some of the Biblical phrases that appear in our everyday language include:

"eye for an eye"“land of milk and honey”“forbidden fruit”"bottomless pit""two-edged sword""God forbid""scapegoat”“scandal”“Land of Nod”“by the sweat of your brow”“apple of my eye”“fire and brimstone”“ashes to ashes, dust to dust”“a man after my own heart”"broken heart”“wits’ end”“bite the dust”“put words in my mouth”“put your house in order”"nothing but skin and bones”“by the skin of your teeth”“Behemoth”"nothing new under the sun”“a little birdie told me”“rise and shine”“can a leopard change his spots”“eat drink and be merry”“writing on the wall”“drop in a bucket”“fly in the ointment”“four corners of the earth”“see eye to eye”“salt of the earth”“go the extra mile”“pearls before swine”“fall by the wayside”“straight and narrow”“wolf in sheep’s clothing”“blind leading the blind"“the 11th hour”“kiss of death”“give up the ghost”“wash your hands of the matter""the truth will set you free”“twinkling of an eye”“labor of love”“live by the sword die by the sword”“fall from grace”“fight the good fight”“the powers that be”You know the famous line from the song Money by Pink Floyd? It’s a rip-off of Timothy 6:10.

But the Bible is even more influential than these phrases.

More than a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, the Bible reveals the foundation of language itself. In fact, the philosophical study of language is based on the prologue to the Gospel of John. In “the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Teddy Roosevelt once said that “no other book of any kind ever written in English has ever so affected the whole life of a people.”

A literary masterpiece written by uneducated men, the Bible is the best-selling book of all time, with between five and seven BILLION copies sold. For reference, an estimated 800 million copies of the Quran, and 200 million copies of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

The Bible is also the most shoplifted book.

It was the first book ever printed, after Johannes Gutenberg chose it as the first book for his printing press. Education as we know it is based on the Bible.

Christianity is the foundation of modern politics and law. Leviticus 25:10 (“Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof”) appears on the Liberty Bell.

When Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech on the National Mall, 250,000 people witnessed a sermon. He referenced four scriptures in the speech. Amos 5:24, Isaiah 40:4, Psalm 30:5, and Galatians 3:28.

Without the Bible, freedom as we know it could not exist. Sure, Plato talked about Democracy 300 years before Jesus came to earth. But Democracy is nothing without the political freedom that Christianity gave us.

The right to a fair trial appears in Deuteronomy 19:15 and Exodus 21:23–25.

Christian monks founded the earliest health care systems using the principles of the Bible as their guide.

The Left’s obsession with destroying Christianity is the same as their obsession with destroying Western society.

They remind me of Daniel 7:25, which describes the Antichrist, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

They speak like children, they understand like children, they think like children. Ultimately, they’re just hypocrites, who may be able to evaluate the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.
