A Practical Illustration on the Unity of the Scriptures

Illustration taken from H.L.Willmington's book: " That Manuscript from Outer Space"

A note from the author:

It is imperative that Christians begin to defend the Christian faith as never before! Never has the Word of God been under such attack as today under so-called modern scholasticism. The Jesus Seminar with their fake scholars gather together once or twice a year to tell the world what belongs and what doesn't belong in the Scriptures. I must say that the Bible is not only complete, but it is unique in every aspect. Indeed its uniqueness is shown clearly in its Divine Unity. I have found in the work of H.L Willmington a perfect illustration to make my point.

Let us imagine a religious novel of 66 chapters which was begun by a single writer around the 6th century A.D. After the author had completed but five chapters, he suddenly dies. But during the next 1000 years, up to the 16th Century, around 30 amateur " free lance" writers felt constrained to contribute to this unfinished religious novel. Few of these authors shared any thing in common. Some of them were black, others white, still others yello, and a few brown. They spoke different languages, lived at different times, in differenyt countries, had totally different backgrounds and occupations, and wrote in different styles.

Let us furthermore imagine that at the completion of the 39th chapter the writing for some reason suddenly stops. Not one word is therefore added from the 16th to the 20th century. After this long delay it begins once again by 8 new authors who add the final 27 chapters.

With all this in mind, what would be the chances of this religious novel becoming a moral, scientific, prophetic and historical unity? The answer is obvious-- not one in a million! And yet this is the story of the Bible!
