The false prophet known as OBVES actually posted the following:
"You have to prove the Bible is applicable to our times first !"
OBVES actually believes that the Bible is irrelevant for today. Definitely
goes to show that OBVES has rejected God's Word and rejected God as well.
We, as Christians are not obligated to prove the Bible's relevancy to
unbelievers and those false teachers like OBVES. On the contrary, OBVES is
making the assertion, it is therefore up to him (or her) to prove his (or
her) assertion.

Question: "Is the Bible relevant for today?"
Answer: Hebrews 4:12 says: "For the word of God is living, and powerful,
and
sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of
soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart." While the Bible was written by more
than
40 authors over a period of more than 1500 years, its accuracy and
relevance
for today remain unchanged. The Bible is the sole objective source of all
the revelation God has given us about Himself and His plan for humanity.
The Bible contains a great deal of information about the natural world
that
has been confirmed by scientific observations and research. Some of these
passages include Leviticus 17:11, Ecclesiastes 1:6-7, Job 36:27-29, Psalm
102:25-27 and Colossians 1:16-17. As the Bible's story of God's redemptive
plan for humanity unfolds, many different characters are vividly
described.
In doing so, the Bible provides a great deal of information about human
behavior and tendencies. Our own day-to-day experience shows us that this
information is more accurate and descriptive of the human condition than
any
psychology textbook. Many historical facts recorded in the Bible have been
confirmed by extra-biblical sources. Often, historical research shows a
great deal of agreement between biblical accounts and extra-biblical
accounts of the same events. In many cases, the Bible has been deemed to
be
more historically accurate.
However, the Bible is neither a history book, a psychology text, nor a
scientific journal. The Bible is the description God gave us about who He
is, and what His desires and plans for humanity are. The most significant
component of this revelation is the story of our separation from God by
sin,
and God's provision for restoration of fellow****p through the sacrifice of
His Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross. Our need for redemption does not
change. Neither does God's desire to reconcile us to Himself.
Bible contains a great deal of accurate and relevant information. The
Bible's
most im****tant message - redemption - is universally and perpetually
applicable to humanity. God's Word will never be outdated, superseded, or
improved upon. Cultures change, laws change, generations come and go - but
the Word of God is as relevant today as it was when it was first written.
Not all of Scripture necessarily applies explicitly to us today, but all
Scriptures contain truth that we can, and should, apply to our lives
today.
