text: You are probably thinking, "Oh, sure you did!" Well, I did! It is true! However, you will have to take my word for it. I do not have any autographs or pictures. I do not even know if I could find any eyewitness testimony to the fact that I met all of them on one evening. I cannot remember who was with me when that happened. I was seventeen years old, and I was working in the Ambassador Auditorium in the green room. They were having some sort of benefit variety show for something that I do not remember. Marie Osmond was one of the emcees of the event, and the big draw was Bob Hope. Arthur Murray and his wife danced; Patty Page sang a song. It was really neat! We were supposed to see Carol Burnett that night, too, but I think that she may have been sick and had to have her part video-taped before hand. That was too bad because I had wanted to see her.
  Anyway, the story that I have just told you will have to be taken on faith because I have no proof that any of that ever happened! The same happens with the Bible. If the Bible says that something happened or that something is true, many people would say that it is not good enough. They want more proof; they want something verifiable; they want something objective; they want something into which they can sink their teeth. They want evidence leading them to a conclusion that it is so!
  Are we stuck? Have we exhausted the proofs of the authenticity of the Bible? Not even close! There are several others. I know you probably have gone through them in the past, but I would like to, throughout the rest of the sermon, go through some of the ones that I think are the most convincing.
  John 10:34-36 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods?"' If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?"
  Here is a very plain revelation where Jesus said that He is the Son of God. He uses the scripture back in Psalm 82:6 where God tells us, "You are gods." He uses this as proof that He is God—the Son of God. However, He throws in this parenthetical statement, "The scripture cannot be broken." Here is another declarative statement from Jesus that the scripture is of divine origin—and it cannot be refuted!
