We can also fit Classified Advertisements in right up until the very last minute of going to print, which means if you have something urgent, you can usually count on the Classified Section to get it into the paper. Colour advertising is also very affordable in the Classified Section. It costs just $25 +gst extra to add colour to your advert – a fantastic investment to increase the profile of your advert.

Can the Bible be trusted? Can the Bible be trusted? This is an important question.
foundation for any doubt that the Scriptures have come down to us substantially as they were written has now been removed. Both the authenticity and the general integrity of the books of the New Testament may be regarded as finally established.” Then why do people still raise doubt? Could it be that it’s more a question of what people want to believe than of the evidence? Some don’t believe in miracles – so obviously they see the Bible as unreliable. Some don’t want to believe in Jesus – so they will try to ‘rewrite’ the way we view the Bible. But if we look at the evidences, there’s a surprising amount going for this book! So, what does it mean? Be comforted that faith matters! You really can trust God in hard times! He will never abandon you, and He does hear your prayers! Why not talk to Him now?
Is our faith just a myth, or is it in something real? Many who study the Bible’s reliability get a bit of a shock. For example, in ‘The New Testament Document: Are They Reliable?’ F.F. Bruce points out that “…we have about 9 or 10 good copies of Caesar’s Gallic War, 20 copies of Livy’s Roman History...”. The second most documented ancient work is Homer’s Iliad (643 manuscript copies). But the New Testament has over 5686 Greek handwritten manuscripts or partial manuscripts alone, and when you add all the others, over 25,000 copies! It’s all a bit of a surprise, because if we based our belief on popular opinion we’d have thought otherwise! It turns out that the New Testament documents are the most reliable ancient documents on our planet - more accurately preserved than even Shakespeare’s plays, which are only 300 years old! Sir Frederic Kenyon, former head librarian for the British Museum, and one of the leading experts in the field of manuscript evidence in his day, said in ‘The Bible and Archaeology’ that “…the last

Who killed Jesus? We know from Scripture it was the Roman soldiers who physically crucified Jesus, the Lamb of God, on a Roman cross. But who was responsible for the fact that He was crucified? Firstly, you and I are responsible for Christ’s death because God sent His Son to die in our place, as the propitiation for our sin, because as Paul says in Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. God who is love is also the God who is holy and just and righteous. In His holiness and justice He must judge sin and He must punish sin, otherwise He would not be holy and just. The punishment for mankind’s sin is death and only a holy sacrifice could be offered for sin. Because mankind could not redeem themselves, God sent His only begotten Son to die in our place, to pay the price for our sin, to ransom us and to
sunday at 10 10am am thursday at 7pm 146 devonport Rd
redeem us. In that sense, His death is a consequence of our sin. Secondly, God the Father was responsible for the death of His Son. John says in 1 John 4:10 that “God loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins”. Isaiah 53:6 tells us that God has laid on Christ the iniquity of us all. He says in verse 10 of Isaiah 53 that it was “the will of the Lord to crush Him; He has put Him to grief; when His soul makes an offering for guilt”. Thirdly, Jesus was responsible for His own death. He declares in John 10:18 about His life that “no one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again”. So, who was responsible for the death of Jesus? Certainly not the Jews – to suggest that is antiSemitic nonsense. Definitely you and me. Christ’s death was not the consequence of mob rule, but part of God’s plan of redemption, pre-figured in the Old Testament sacrifices, offerings and feasts.
