While Atheists and Agnostics will frequently dispute the truth and validity of the Biblical Scriptures, they’ll never call them Outdated and Irrelevant. That’s because a human being must actually possess a nominal belief in them - before forming such highly judgmental opinions. Consequently, many of The Bible’s greatest detractors have always been [self-proclaimed] Christians themselves! The irony, of this fact, shouldn’t be lost upon anyone… particularly, other believers.

Just as The Protestant Reformation was denoted, by the considerable efforts of many, in rectifying their own lives toward the sacred writings of scripture; the Christian Apologetics Movement - which has now seemingly replaced it - has been all about adjusting those very same scriptural understandings to more accurately suit our own lives. After all, the latter is far easier than the former; and man-made suggestions are far more palatable, to the self-serving majority, than faithfully observing His God-given commandments.

Meanwhile, to those whom The Bible seems outdated and Irrelevant, such determinations are solely based upon their own subjective and personal opinions, in judging amongst the various and numerous scriptures. Rather than simply accepting, that: “All scripture is inspired by Yahweh and useful for: doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in all righteousness” - as found in 2nd Timothy 3:16 and 17 - they set themselves as self-appointed judges over The Word of Yahweh.

Moreover, this is a particularly dangerous position for anyone to be in. Since those who place themselves in such a position, are foolishly and inadvertently judging the very one who gave them. Nor, will their own failure to realize this error justify them in the time of judgment. For throughout the entirety of both Testaments, Yahweh has declared His unchanging nature, and the inalterable sanctity of His Word!

In Psalm 12 verse 6, we read: “The words of Yahweh are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Yahweh, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.” And lest we are wondering, to which category of words The Scripture is now referring, Psalm 19 clearly explains:

“The Law of Yahweh [all ten of His commandments] is perfect, converting the soul; The Testimony of Yahweh [the entire historical record] is sure, making wise the simple; The Statutes of Yahweh [His complete legal requirements]
