“I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, those of us who believe in the Bible are sometimes accused of having blind faith. But nothing could be further from the truth. There are many proofs on why we know that the Bible is actually true. One of those is the fulfillment of prophecies. The accuracy of the Bible is proven by so many prophecies, foretelling future events, that have come true exactly as foretold, especially in the Old Testament. There have been many predictions that were given to prove, when they were first spoken, that the speaker was divinely inspired. If and when those predictions came true, it validated the words of that person, of that prophet. For instance, the Book of Daniel has some very detailed prophecies, scores of these, that were literally fulfilled, that could not have ever been done by chance. Skeptics responded and said, well, Daniel must have been written after those events. They, otherwise, could not have been so detailed on what happened later and that the writer of Daniel was not being honest. But, in fact, it was discovered afterward that the Book of Daniel was found in its entirety in the Greeks' Septuagint and partially in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and both of those were proven to predate the events that were prophesied. That argument that it was written later fell through. This means that the critics of the Book of Daniel and its dating are the ones who are not being honest.…”
