Religion & Spirituality


If we only take the accuracy of the Bible as evidence for the validity and inspiration of Scripture, a large void still remains. Does every reliable text have the mark of inspiration? Do other religious texts have the mark of being divinely inspired? Why or Why not? There are several tests and several texts to examine. Candidates for inspired documents have included the Bible, the Tanakh, the Quran, the Mahabharata, the Tripitaka, Guru Granth Sahib, the Avesta, Science and Health With a Key to the Scriptures, the Book of Mormon, writings of Baha'ullah, Nostradamus, and channeled writings. Here is a quick look at what these texts are, a brief critique, and an evaluation of how the Bible lines up with the first 3 of 10 tests for inspiration.
