| 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.. |
| The Bible has been around for a long time. The first books were written about 3500 years ago and the last book to be written was writtten about 90 AD about 1900 years ago. There are enough ancient manuscripts around to make the Bible the most documented ancient book in the history of the world. In spite of tremendous efforts to destroy it and discredit it it is still the world's most popular book and has outsold every other book in the history of man. |
| The Author of the Bible is God although it was written by people. The Bible itself claims to be inspired by God. This means that God moved men in a miraculous way to write His very words down and give us direct communication from God to man. The Bible is perfect, every word is exactly what God intended it to be and there are no errors in it at all. |
| Over the centuries the Bible has been passed down and translated into most of the world's languages. Although it is the original writings that were inspired by God in the original languages the accuracy of the Bible translations are excellent and with some other safeguards that God has given us we can be sure that we can have the correct understanding of the Bible. |
| The major theme of the Bible is redemption. To redeem something means to "buy it back". The Bible is the story of how God created man in His own image, man sinned and fell away from God and God in His love and mercy has bought mankind back to Himself through the death of His Son Jesus Christ. The Bible contains the only answer for the person who wants to have eternal life. |
